John McCain: Obama 'directly responsible' for Orlando - CNNPolitics.com
first, remember when the left went after Trump for attacking McCain and they defended him? watch those some hypocrites bring out the long knives on McCain for this. It's going to be ugly(and kind of sad). they use, then discard, then destroy people at any political whim that comes along.
second, McCain made it very clear in his debate with Obama that the US needed to retain a presence in Iraq indefinitely, as we have in Japan, Korea, and throughout Europe. You liberals laughed it off, and voted for Obama and his cut and run policy. You have no one to blame but yourselves for ISIS. You can't defeat an enemy then go home and leave it a fractured tribal community to "figure it out". Arab Spring was squandered. Obama is a disgrace.
First, defending McCain regarding his heroic war record does not mean you can never criticize him for statements he makes in the future. McCain is a human being and so is capable of being wrong or mistaken, like everyone else. He is not a god.
Now that that's out of the way, I am disappointed in McCain. He may really believe what he said, but he's mistaken. This is probably a case of trying to take a page out of Carl Rove's book by blaming something on the opposition, when you are the one to blame. Rove said that when a political person or party has a weakness or is to blame for something, the way to go is to beat the opposition to the punch by blaming the opposition. Then when the opposition rightly puts the blame on you, it sounds defensive.
Since the family came to America at least before 1987, when the shooter was born in NY, they came here probably during the Reagan presidency. I don't know if the family came here legally or illegally, but Reagan granted amnesty to illegals, anyway.
ISIS is a natural offshoot of the increased radicalization of groups since the Iraq War, although the Taliban existed before that war. It was the Iraq War that spawned the offshoots we see now. The War's cruelty gave them plenty of ammunition (earth's precious treasures in Iraq's museum...the first city on earth was in Iraq; taking oil; killing thousands of Iraqis and maiming even more, including blowing up children as collateral damage; etc.).
Whether it's ISIS or the Taliban or Al Qaeda...they're all the same in their message, their so-called causes, the people, their terroristic methods.
This guy, though, sounds like he's part terrorist-sympathizer and part a violent, hateful disturbed far right extremist male (most of the shooters have been far right extremist males...most of them white, I believe).
