...This 2013 photograph of John McCain is being circulated by members of ISIS as a photo of him with members of some of their members in Syria... The poster does not specify which of the men is actually from ISIS or “Al Qaeda In Iraq” as they were once called. (Source.)
So this was John McCain in 2013, and what is his response to his Iraq buddies now?
Courtesy of HuffPo:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ratcheted up the pressure on the Obama administration Thursday over the growing crisis in Iraq, calling for air strikes and special forces on the ground to arrest the advance of Sunni insurgents.
So rude to pose for a selfie and then try to launch an air attack against people don't you think?
Can't trust ol' Johnny now, can we? He's got it in for Obama and will use any ruse to bring him down, but people can see right through him. Such a hypocrite!
ReplyDeleteI think McCain is palling around with terrorists!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Spreading right now!
ReplyDeleteA Kodak moment!!
ReplyDeleteWhen McCain was peddling his "Country First", he didn't say which country.

DeleteThat's a keeper :) F& F'd
DeleteJust reprint any of the fall 2008 photos -- any of 'em. all of 'em -- to add to his list of splaining Johnny McCain has to do.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the planes he dove off the aircraft carriers, squealing to his captors in Hanoi, his well-known big-gambling habits in Vegas, his slimy involvement with the Keating Five. Hell, then foisting a no-nothing, trash-talking redneck like Sarah Palin on us was one of his lesser sins, in a lifelong list of sins.
It is said that he started a FIRE on an aircraft carrier.
DeleteDo you realize how dangerous a fire at sea, on a ship loaded with men, planes, and jet fuel actually is?
Johnny MacGramps is a very reckless individual, as we well know.
Cc-
DeleteThe story is quite murky but apparently Johhny was sitting in his fighter jet and for some reason (to scare the newbie behind him?) Johnny released some of his fuel and it caught fire.
The entire aircraft carrier was set ablaze and yes, people died.
The honorable John McCain.
The senile old fart probably didn't even know who he was having his picture taken with that day. And I bet he doesn't even remember having this picture taken today.
ReplyDeleteHe knew very well. It was said he was a broker for Arms deals with these guys. I think he called them rebels and said we needed to help arm them.
DeleteTalk about throwing your Sunni and ISIS friends under the bus. John McCain what is up with you?
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son pointed out to me that it would very odd indeed to fight these fellows in Iraq when we are supporting them in Syria. And John McCain posing with the group is Syria is proof of that.
ReplyDeleteHe really is an @ssbole and deserves no respect whatsoever, let alone air time.
ReplyDeleteDo these terrorists make me look patriotic?
ReplyDeleteJohnny needs to get back on Sarah's healthy organic diet and "gut-thrashing" exercise program. He's put on a couple of lbs.
Love your first line!
DeleteThe GOP is all over the map! They never ever come froward with their real policies, only those that might benefit them on any particular day. The group is composed of absolutely ignorant fools.
ReplyDeleteIn general Senator McCain is like these guys: sos

The GOP is very consistent. If they think it will make Mr. Obama look good, they are against it.

ReplyDeleteJonnnyMac is oblivious to dude on far right in this pic faking a pregnancy. Notice the Sarah Scarf. Works every time.
nice one
DeleteJohn McCain sided with Sarah Palin so why wouldn't he side with the anti-American ISIS?
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised to see this picture.
DeleteThank god that he and Palin were NOT elected to head our country. Cannot imagine how much worse things would have been under the heading of the jerk John McCain!
DeleteWhy does the State Department approve these trips for McCain? Isn't he a favorite of Hillary's? She knows what he is up to.
ReplyDeleteI doubt ISIS is circulating that photo but they don't need to. A proud McCain's staff did the circulating for them in 2013.
ReplyDeleteThe terrorist/rebel kidnapper, Mohammad Nour, was at the meeting with McCain in May 2013. But he's not in that photo.
Here's the photo that includes and identifies Nour.

Nour doesn't appear in the group shot of the actual meeting. Perhaps, he was the photographer.

I did?
DeleteHey, I did!
You know I post so many stories that I have trouble remembering which ones I have already covered, and which ones I haven't.
:-)
DeleteI remember Sarah Palin saying something about "Let Allah Sort it Out". So why is John McCain so buddy buddy with ISIS aka Al Qaeda? What is Sarah going to say about this picture?
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain you can't have it both ways. You either side with our president, President Obama or you can side with your buddies in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news is that John Kerry agreed with McCain and testified before Congress that the rebel groups were moderate.

I wrote my first article on the folly of an Iraq invasion in August of 2002. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, I argued. There are no 9/11 connections in Iraq. There is no al Qaeda presence in Iraq, because Saddam Hussein was notorious for hanging Wahabbists from the nearest available light pole. An invasion would tear the country apart, explode sectarian tensions, and plunge the region into chaos.

I don't think John McCain is a terrorist or pals around with terrorists, I think he is a hostage. Johnny would never, I mean never pose for terrorist propaganda pictures.
ReplyDeleteGive it a rest. Just because the younger McCain posed for propaganda pictures and was the spokesperson for the Hanoi Hilton doesn't mean he would do it again for the Iraqi Hilton.

DeleteVanna, I'd like to buy an "A" DING DING DING
It was snark. They called him Johnny.
DeleteThat old senile dude made a wrong turn on his way to the capital building in Washington D.C. and ended up crossing the border into Iraq.
ReplyDelete"WTF? Someone hire him a translator" Thelma Chin and Sarah Louise
DeleteLast week, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) went ballistic. In response to the intensifying crisis in Iraq, an apoplectic McCain took to the Senate floor and demanded the resignation of President Barack Obama's entire national security team. He huffed that Obama's advisers have "been a total failure." He suggested that Obama was somehow responsible for the present predicament in Iraq. And what was McCain's big idea for addressing the crisis?

O/T Sarah Palin didn't attend or speak at our Alaska Freedom Fair and Convention at the Menard Center in Wasilla. Butttt Sarah will attend and speak at a convention in the lower 48, in Tennesse.
ReplyDeleteSarah just posted this event on her Facebook:

Ready for some Tennessee Tea? Join me and the Sevier County Tea Party for America's Last Stand rally on June 26th in Sevierville, TN! See the flyer for details.
Wasilla if you don't pay you don't play.
DeleteI'm surprised Sarah is going to Tennessee. Isn't Sarah worried about Bristol who lives deep in the woods without a cell phone like she did in 2008?
DeleteSarah when you coming to Wasilla?
DeleteIf Sarah aint collecting money from the Alaska Permanent Fund then she's too far gone. Sarah is a Sun Devil now.
DeleteYou can't make this stuff up if you wanted to. He was "This close" to a known terrorist and didn't call the embassy for backup? He's been to every information briefing the white house gives, then right after roll call, he zooooms over to FOX, CNN, NBC,ABC, anyone that'll have him and calls the President "weak" or "slow" or accuses him of ridiculous stuff.
ReplyDeleteFor a guy who's election meme was "Country First", then picked Sarah "In what respect, charlie" Palin, and now this?????? I think it's time to send him over there to fix the mess himself. Ok, he needs help, he can take Miss Lindsey with him.
He plays poker on his phone during meetings. He already knows the lies that are scripted to say to media and he could care less about what is discussed. He just attends to appear to be working. As if he is working for his constituents and not the criminals that set him up to be elected and work for them.
ReplyDeleteThey have such a racket going.
Don't worry John, this isn't your worse fuck up. It's not like your 2008 vp pick.
ReplyDeletePhoto of Reagan with the Taliban in the Oval Office; now a photo of McCain with ISIS. Can you imagine the uproar from the right if it were President Obama in those photos ?
ReplyDelete“Waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists," according to the Gospel of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteSarah is that John in that picture? Are those terrorists with him? What ya waiting for? Baptize them all by waterboarding.
LOL...maybe he thought he was meeting with the Jackson Five? nobody home....
ReplyDeleteOh my gawd. Gryphen, I think this alone needs a post. God! Poker? IPHONE POKER? Really? No wonder this man managed to light up a jet that was GROUNDED. (And people died during this incident, whereby McCain wanted to intimidate a "newbie" ego he felt was garnering more respect than him...so he did the airplane equivalent of "gunning the engine" while parked on an aircraft carrier at sea. People DIED.)
ReplyDeleteI think I have a Photo of John McCain fucking Sarah Palin on bed.
