Mingling or meddling, John McCain's visit with Syrian opposition forces can only marginalize the Obama administration's efforts to manage a constructive U.S. response. What has to be an obvious irritant to the White House, the aging maverick refusing to remain in the pasture can not not be allowed to write checks the administration is not in the position or can afford to cash.
Meeting and greeting potential partners for a peaceful and political resolution to Syria's all engulfing conflict is presumably the only message the crotchety old fool is authorized to deliver, if anything. Syrian opposition hopefuls should be wary of stooges bearing proclamations of military support, without the clout to make good. They'd be wise to see the fading Senator for what he is; just another Congressional representative being manipulated by faceless international lobbyist.
Like a senior citizen driving a car without a license, proper insurance or his glasses Senator John McCain has veered recklessly into oncoming traffic on a highway littered with sectarian rivals, Western haters, IUD's, snipers, and land-mines. Like Mr. Magoo, McCain probably means well, but his days of clearly seeing events as they really appear in the mirror have been over for at least a decade. It is through this murky lens, McCain is gambling he can distinguish "The Good Guys" from "The Bad Guys". In our view, its likely John McCain can't even find his dentures without an Arizona search and rescue team and that we find more than disturbing.
Sadly, this "Maverick" has lost his way and no longer serves a purpose. Other than his amusing us waddling toward the Senate floor, to stammering through speeches while waving his shortened wingspan, we'd say he's outlived his usefulness. We'd say, its time for John McCain to spend more "quality" time with his family, while there's still any "quality" time remaining to spend. No, the good Senator from Arizona is more suited for physical restraints and medication than being allowed to board planes trains or automobiles without a guardian.
Senator McCain, the rusting relic of a fly-boy, evidently still thirsting for one last sortie is just on the loose looking for fighters to fight a fight. While precisely what fight is the right fight to be fought and which fighters we want to fight with remains a mystery, Senator McCain has lurched forward with g-force speed before even completing a thorough preliminary flight check. Hopefully the goofy bastard filed an accurate flight plan with his Commander in Chief before flying off into the wild blue yonder. Better rein this loon in soon.
