To the Shores of Tartus: McCain, Lieberman, Graham, and Yosemite Sam in Syria……..

Senator John McCain, true to the rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ angry form, is calling for the United States to arm and aid the Syrian opposition. He’d rather the US and NATO joined the fray. He and his dog of war pals Lieberman (Joe not Avigdor) and Goose have finally given up on the idea of setting up camp, their very own base, in Iraq. Now the senator is eying Syria, a latter day Douglas MacArthur wading ashore at Latakia or more likely Tartus. McCain can sweep ashore arm in arm with Bernard-Henri Lévy although Republicans tend to be suspicious of things French, even if they are not fried French. Arm in arm with Levy and Burhan Ghalioun and very likely a Muslim Brotherhood potentate (either of the Qatari or Saudi branch).
Still, I wouldn’t want to see Lieberman in a military helmet, or maybe it is okay; he is not running for office anymore.
