#2 Sorry, I'm not convinced. More evidence is indeedn needed. Senator, hands-on fellow that you are, I suggest you fly a solo test flour bag bombing sortie, and then get back to us with your post mission report and analysis.

#3 That McCain file photo cracks me up every time I see it.

Don't offer him the chance to do another bombing run, Besoeker, he might take you up on it, bad arm and all.

#4 Sure let's bomb anyone we think is nasty. I'll agree to bombing Syria right after you start bombing China to protect the Uighers and Tibetans. Also we need to bomb most of Africa on that basis...and Saudi Arabia and Belarus and Turkey to protect the PKK.

Where do we stop?

#5 Better stop before we get to Iran, AlanC. Wouldn't wanna make them mad at us.

#6 McCain is off his nut. No way we should get within 100 miles of Syria. It is bad now and is going to be worse when Assad is overthrown. This kind of talk is also not going to be helpful to the Republican nominee.

#8 No way to bombing Syria - Predators with Hellfires and Javelins doing selective strikes on Syrian artillery and armor is a different story, however. If a Predator is shot down, it is just some money lost; no freaking way to sending manned aircraft in to do a drone's job.
