Map: All the Countries John McCain Has Wanted to AttackSyria, Iraq, Russia, North Korea, and nine other nations the Arizona senator has been eager to bomb, invade, or destabilize. Even before he was caught playing poker on his iPhone at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had already sent a message: Anything less than an extensive aerial assault on the Syrian regime by American forces would be an unacceptable approach to the conflict in the Middle East. This was hardly surprising. Over the last two decades, McCain has rarely missed an opportunity to call for the escalation of an international conflict. Since the mid-1990s, he's pushed for regime change in more than a half-dozen countries-occasionally with disastrous consequences. Here's a quick review of McCain's eagerness for military action and foreign entanglements. SYRIA Fighting words: "Providing military assistance to the Free Syrian Army and other opposition groups is necessary, but at this late hour, that alone will not be sufficient to stop the slaughter and save innocent lives. The only realistic way to do so is with foreign air power." What he wanted: Airstrikes, culminating in regime change. What was it good for? TBD. Angry McCains: Five IRAQ (PART II) Fighting words: "Leaders always have choices, and history teaches that hard choices deferred-appeasing Hitler, choosing not to deter Saddam Hussein in 1990, failing to act sooner against Al Qaeda-often bring about the very circumstances we wished to avoid by deferring action, requiring us to react in freedom's defense. America's leaders today have a choice. It will determine whether our people live in fear behind walls that have already been breached, as our enemies plan our defeat in time we have given them to do it." What he wanted: Ground war culminating in regime change. What was it good for? See above. Angry McCains: Five AFGHANISTAN Fighting words: "We should make an immediate statement of our resolve that we no longer intend to tolerate sanction given to our enemies by any nation...Should the Taliban refuse our demand, then they must know that they will be treated as allies of our enemy, and, thus, are themselves our enemies, and will suffer much for their allegiance." What he wanted: Osama bin Laden's head, at any cost. What was it good for? Ground war culminating in regime change (ongoing). Angry McCains: Five
