#2 You mean, McCain's Heroes?

Especially after the idea of intervention was so odious a vote was shelved.

So they rounded up every anti-assad swinging turban, trained and armed them, then sent them off to topple a government - then failed to provide air support.

Wait...that sounds familiar.

#4 My favorite part was when McCain had his photo op with the Fresh Faces of Arab Spring...and the next day Al-Qaeda was all, "You're gonna arm them...they're all a bunch of assholes!"

Then some of our guys were like, "Yeah, they look familiar....hey, don't arm them, they're a bunch of assholes!"
