McCain’s Disgraceful Answers on Yemen

McCain sniffs fingers

TheAmericanConservative: Lee Fang cornered some senators at the Washington Ideas Forum and pressed them to comment on Saudi war crimes in Yemen. The exchange with McCain is damning for the senator:

“They may be bombing civilians, which is actually not true,” McCain said, when asked about civilian casualties in Yemen.

“Civilians aren’t dying?” I asked.

No, they’re not [bold mine-DL],” the senator replied. “Oh, I’m sure civilians die in war. Not nearly as many as the Houthis have executed,” McCain continued, referring to the Shiite militia waging an insurgency against the Sunni government in Yemen.

Asked about the recent reports of Saudi forces bombing a wedding party in Yemen, McCain said, “I’m sure in wars terrible things happen and the Houthis however are an extremist group backed by the Iranians who are slaughtering Yemenis.”  More Here

  1. That photo of McCain reminds me of that scene by Bella Lugosi in “Dracula.” Dracula and Van Helsing square off in the study at that estate. Dracula contends he can control all mortals. Van Helsing begs to differ.

    Drac stares at VH, makes that same hand gesture and face as McCain then says in his Bella voice, “Come here.”

    VH begins to be lose control and be drawn to Dracula then suddenly snaps out of the spell.

    Dracula smiles and says, “Ah, your vill ess schtrong.”

  2. For that reason, I don’t blame myself for forgetting that Yemen, a potential choke point for Middle East oil, is on the brink of ending up I the hands of AQ.

    Hey McCain… Go pair up with Boehner. You can share a fuckin’ U-Haul.

  3. Y’know, sooner or later, those people were gonna die anyway, so’s it don’t really matter … what’s important is that I, and my sycophants, get some money out of the deal … whatever it is.
