JOHN McCAIN: HERO WITHOUT HONOR

Once again, I am disappointed in Senator John McCain. The president of the United States briefed congress on his upcoming announcement concerning Syria. The White House had finally proved beyond reasonable doubt that the Assad Regime had used chemical weapons against its own people, which meant that the President was ready to supply military assistance to the “rebels”. Such briefings are given with the understanding that the White House and not congressional representatives will make the public announcement. It is not written nor is it expressed in any way; it is a gentleman’s agreement. So what did John McCain do; he goes to the senate floor and publicly announces what the president had said and then condemns it as being too little too late. He not only stepped on the announcement but he tried to trash it before Obama had actually made it. McCain’s action can be only interpreted in one way. Yes, John McCain is a hero, but he is a hero without honor.
