Borowitz writes: "Sen. McCain denied that his support of the Syrian rebels had anything to do with a personal vendetta against President Obama, but according to the rebel, 'Every time he said 'Obama,' a vein in his head kind of bulged out.'"

Syrian Rebels Urge McCain to Get Over Losing to Obama
28 May 13

The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."
uring a meeting yesterday with Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), Syrian rebels told the senator that he still seemed "really bitter" about losing the 2008 election to President Obama and advised him to "get over it."
After meeting with the Arizona senator in the border region near Turkey, a spokesman for the Syrian rebels told reporters that while they appreciated Sen. McCain's support, "We were kind of uncomfortable with the place it was coming from."
"It was pretty obvious to me and the other rebels that everything McCain was doing was just to get back at Obama," the rebel spokesman said. "And we were like, look, that election was five years ago. It's time to move on."
Sen. McCain denied that his support of the Syrian rebels had anything to do with a personal vendetta against President Obama, but according to the rebel, "Every time he said �Obama,' a vein in his head kind of bulged out."
"The man is a simmering cauldron of rage," the Syrian rebel said. "He needs to turn his anger toward Obama into something more positive. You can't carry all of that hate around with you forever - it's not healthy."
For his part, Sen. McCain said that he was "finished" with the Syrian rebels and would now focus on starting a war with North Korea.

No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Until there are two hundred thousand really, really pissed off people on Capital Hill (all at the same time) raising some serious hell against the Lunatics, absolutely nothing is ever, ever going to happen to these totally bought and paid for by the richest 50 people in the world that are becoming more and more powerful with each passing rigged election thanks to the stupid people.
If the U.S. gov. will allow other of their "friends" to brutalize and kill their own citizens what makes any of us think we're safe in protesting.
Second you know you are successful when the people who order the torture are on site enjoying watching the torture. They will not forget their pleasuring themselves while watching pain being inflicted. They end up taking it home to their once loved ones. Management types like that and the police performing for them have neat home lives, like The SEALS as they kill on command.
And with some of the new items quietly on Mr. Obama's agenda will exempt foreign (Canada is foreign) companies from complying with U.S. Laws and EPA regulations. And T. Boone Pickens owns the biggest aquafer in Texas. So much for his wind farm projects.
