McCain: Vague AUMF Is ‘Classic Obama,’ a ‘Study in Obama Incoherency’

MCCAIN: “It’s kind of classic Obama telling everybody and our enemies what we are not going to do. No articulation on the strategy. Nothing is said about Bashar al-Assad who has slaughtered over 200,000 people, of his own people, and driven them into refugee status. We are training people by the way, young Syrians to go back into Syria to fight against Bashar al-Assad. What are we going to do if Bashar al-Assad keeps on barrel bombing them? This was a study in Obama incoherency. And of course, we are glad to know they are going to be defeated. I’ll tell you an ugly truth, Martha, and that is we are going to have to have boots on the ground. The Iraqi army is a long, long way from being viable. Work now has been done by Peshmerga and guess who else? Shia militia who are Iranian backed and Iranian equipped in Iraq. This is a situation completely in disarray. A total lack of American leadership.”
