Louie Gohmert Fumes: If Not For John McCain ‘Benghazi Would Not Have Happened’

Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert has unearthed a new culprit in the Benghazi saga: fellow Republican John McCain.

Conservative radio host Frank Gaffney asked Gohmert to comment on McCain’s “hobnobbing with jihadists” during his recent trip to Syria. Gohmert brought up a similar trip of McCain’s to Libya, where he feels McCain’s policy to depose Muammar Gaddafi unleashed the Muslim extremist forces that later attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi.

If it had not been for Senator John McCain and President Obama being for what we knew at the time included Al Qaida anti-rebel forces, then we would still have a U.S. ambassador and three others alive today, because Benghazi would not have happened. By giving power to the rebel forces that included Al Qaida, that brought that whole mess about and helped create problems in Tunisia and Algeria. So I’m not sure what to think about his going to Syria. If history’s any lesson, the people he met with who wants us to help should be very careful about what Senator McCain’s support could mean for them.

McCain recently paid on a surprise visit to Syria, where the increasing presence of al-Qaida and the agitation of Hezbollah across the border in Lebanon is complicating an already precarious civil war between rebel forces and Bashar Al-Assad’s government. McCain supports U.S. intervention into the situation.

again ... all 50 States Attorney Generals need to put John McCain on a No Fly List; Charge him with Aiding Muslim extremist's; seize all of his assets and put his corrupt ASS on trial as a collaborator with Terrorists under the NDAA

Senator McCain seems to think we can and should go to war around the world ,he must have reason, could it be the sale of high priced weapon systems. America does not need McCain in the senate I'm curious why the voters of AZ do not understand that.

French Report Of Sarin In Syria Increases Prospect Of International Conflict

June 5, 2013 by Sam Rolley

On Tuesday, French investigators indicated that there was no doubt the Syrian fighters are using deadly sarin gas in the nation, increasing calls from some hawks and liberal humanitarians for U.S. military intervention in the conflict.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said he revealed the evidence of chemical warfare in the country to U.N. officials this week.

“These results show the presence of sarin in the samples that are in our possession,” Fabius said. “In view of these elements, France now has the certainty that the sarin gas was used in Syria several times and in a localized manner.”

And in a draft report, the U.N. Human Rights Council notes on its website: “There are reasonable grounds to believe that chemical agents have been used as weapons. The precise agents, delivery systems or perpetrators could not be identified.”

While the presence of chemical warfare agents has been detected in the war-torn country, investigators still have no idea whether they have been used by rebel factions or by the Bashar al-Assad regime.

Responding to the French reports, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said more evidence about the chemical weapons is needed.

“We need to expand the evidence we have,” he told reporters. “We need to make it reviewable; we need to have it corroborated before we make any decisions based on the clear violation that use of chemical weapons would represent by the Syrian regime. So, we will continue in that effort.”

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joined the ranks of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and other vocal supporters of American involvement in the conflict, saying U.S. intervention is a must.

“Well, there is no doubt that it’s time for the United States to make clear that it is going to engage in this effort to stop the difficult situation in Syria and to prevent its further spread,” she told CBS News. “It’s already spreading across the region. So the United States doesn’t have an option of no action. A no-fly zone is an actual military operation. And the President of the United States is going to have to decide whether he is willing to apply American military power to this conflict. But a no-fly zone is clearly an option.”

For his part, McCain wants to supply Syrian rebels with heavy artillery to aid them in the fight against Assad. But remarks from other international actors, namely Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, make clear that aiding the rebels will put the U.S. in a state of proxy-war with Assad’s allies.

“Any attempts to influence the situation by force through direct military action is doomed to fail and would unavoidably bring about large humanitarian casualties,” Putin said this week.

Russia has previously sold the Syrian regime heavy artillery, such as an S-300 air defense system which Putin said was bought through contract before the conflict. The Russian leader said his country has held off on delivering the weapons to the regime to avoid further destabilizing the region, but intends to do so to dissuade “hotheads” from intervening in the Syrian conflict.
