2014 McCain "anyone who declared the withdrawal from Iraq a success should be canned" ... Ha! McCain is calling for his own resignation!
That tweet was McCain in 2010. In 2014 McCain said 'anyone who declared the withdrawal from Iraq a success should be canned'
McCain demanded the immediate resignation of the entire White House national security team, advising Barack Obama that he has been “ill served” by their advice and their decisions. McCain urged that anyone who declared the withdrawal from Iraq a success should be canned, which would include Obama himself, although McCain stopped short of that demand

National Journal left out that includes McCain.
President Obama has been trying to get America to start an open dialogue with Iran since he ran for office in 2008. Even though, the GOP have secretly been supporting Iran for decades, the GOP have bashed Obama on his position with Iraq since 2008.
Last year, 2013, during the Republican-led Government shutdown, the rightwing went nuts when President Obama merely telephoned Iranian Prime Minister Rouhani.
Ted Cruz wrote legislation to prevent President Obama from doing that again.
S. Res. 252,
The resolution states that it is the sense of the Senate that before any future meeting between President Obama and President Rouhani, the Government of Iran should affirm the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state, and also immediately and without conditions release all United States citizens unjustly detained as prisoners of conscience in Iran.
Today, however, Lindsey Graham, John McCain & their rightwinged Obama haters are openly embracing and supporting Iran's Gen. Qassim Suleimani, who is helping Assad butcher his own people in Syria because they hate Obama that much!
New York Times reports:
In meeting with General Suleimani, the Iraqis are hosting the mastermind of Iran’s strategy in Iraq when Iraqi Shiite militias trained by Iran fought American troops. The general is also the current architect of Iranian military support in Syria for President Bashar al-Assad.
For decades the rightwinged nuts have been able to secretly support and embrace Iran while at the same time spew hatemongering fear about Iran, you know, to keep us afraid, very afraid.
Short list of GOP secretly embracing and supporting Iran since 1980:
1980s President Ronald Reagan (R) secretly and illegally sells US Weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war while openly USA was supposed to be supporting only the Iraqis.
USA put the Sunnis in power when they put the Sunni leader Saddam Hussein in power. Bush and Cheney ousted the Sunnis (via Saddam) and put in place the Iranian funded Shiite to control Iraq.
Notice, when Bush/Cheney put the Iranian funded Shiite in control of Iraq they never, ever, ever mentioned that the Shiites were funded by the Iranians .... shhhhhhh ... it was a secret ... but not really a secret, just a secret that was never openly talked about.
But now, in 2014 the GOP finally have to admit they put Iranian funded Shiites in control of Iraq and are now forced to openly embrace and support Iran by demanding President Obama help ... karma is a bitch!
Last Friday, Lindsey Graham's started condemning Obama by chanting the old, worn-out, rightwinger's fearmongering Benghazi BS. Rupurt Murdoch's New York Daily News reported
LINDSEY GRAHAM: "I don't see how you stop these people.
"We've got another Benghazi in the making here."
On Sunday Graham said:
LINDSEY GRAHAM: "The Iranians can provide some assets to make sure Baghdad doesn't fall. We need to coordinate with the Iranians. And the Turks need to get in the game and get the Sunni Arabs back into the game, form a new government without Maliki,"
OMG!!!! Graham wants to oust Bush/Cheney's Maliki!!!!
LMFAO ... these rightwinged puke-bags openly love Iran because they hate President Obama that much.
Graham is pathetic, today he shouts "We need to coordinate with the Iranians."
But ... but ... BENGHAZI!!!! ... 9/11!!!! ... IRS ... Fast & Furious!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!
But now, the GOP are openly supporting Iran's interest in the Middle East because they hate President Obama that much .... how delicious.

Hotair left out: McCain's declaration would include himself!
The New York Times reported
Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the shadowy commander of Iran’s paramilitary Quds Force, flew to Iraq this week with dozens of his officers to advise the country’s beleaguered leadership about how to blunt the advance of militant forces on Baghdad, American officials said Friday.
In meeting with General Suleimani, the Iraqis are hosting the mastermind of Iran’s strategy in Iraq when Iraqi Shiite militias trained by Iran fought American troops. The general is also the current architect of Iranian military support in Syria for President Bashar al-Assad.
The "
country's beleaguered leadership" is Maliki, the same Maliki who told GW Bush to shove his idea to 'leave residual forces in Iraq' beyond 2011 where the sun does not shine.
Brief History of Sunni & Shiites:
The two major denominations of Islam are: Sunni and Shia (Shiites). Centuries ago the Sunni and Shiites broke ties with each other and have been battling it out ever since. Iran is the world's leading Shiite state as 90% of Iranians are Shiites and the Ayatollah Khomeini waged war with Sunni's in Iraq a.k.a. Iran-Iraq War.
To summarize Iraq:
Saddam Hussein was a Sunni and the United States gave the Sunnis, through Saddam, control of Iraq decades ago.
Saddam Hussein hated al Qaeda, hated Iran and also rejected Oil Corps from owning Iraq oil fields ... so ... Saddam kept all of the above out of Iraq for decades.
Bush/Cheney and rightwinged warmongers secretly supported Iran:
2002, Bush/Cheney needed Congress to authorize overthrowing the Sunnis so they falsified CIA intel and lied to Congress about WMD thus conning and hoodwinking Congress into authorizing the overthrow of the Sunnis.
Bush/Cheney put the Iranian funded Shiites in control of Iraq after they (Bush/Cheney) toppled the Sunni govt in Iraq.
In order to make sure their (Bush/Cheney) Iranian funded Shiites kept control of Iraq, they disbanded and abolished the Iraqi military.
The Sunnis "wanted their country back" (sound familiar?) so around 2005, the Sunnis enlisted al Qaeda to help them fight the Iranian controlled Shiites in Iraq.
The surge was a failure
In 2007 Bush/Cheney decided to pay the Sunni ISIS Millions of US dollars to stop fighting the Shiite just long enough for them (Bush/Cheney) to lay false claims that the surge stopped the Sunni and Shiite from fighting.
Once the money dried up, the Sunnis and Shiites started battling it out again.
Bush/Cheney's Gift to Iran:
In 2003, once Bush/Cheney gave Iranian funded Shiites control of Iraq, the Iranian Govt was given the gift, by Bush/Cheney, of influencing, training and funding the Shiites who control Iraq.
But the biggest and best gift Bush/Cheney gave Iran was silence. Bush/Cheney kept very quiet about the fact that thousands of US Troops died and millions of Iraqis were displaced in their (Bush/Cheney) design to give Iranian funded Shiites the country of Iraq. hmmmm .....
The Iranian controlled Shiites in Iraq began torturing Sunnis because Iran's Ayatollah hates Sunnis ... and why not torture your enemy, right?
Iran controlled Status of Forces Agreement that President Bush signed into law
Because Iran was controlling Iraq by 2008, Iran made damn sure that no residual forces would be left in Iraq by having any Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) mandate any and all US residual forces that would left in Iraq be subject to Iraq law.
GW Bush signed SOFA in 2008 and agreed to leave zero residual forces and pull out all U.S. forced by Dec 2011 because he did not want US forces subject to Iraqi law.
Now, it seems, the Sunnis are closer to getting their country back so naturally, the rightwinger's hatred of Obama cause them to
openly support Iranian funded Shiites who control Iraq.
LMFAO .... the GOP have to OPENLY support Iranian funded Shiites ... karma is such a bitch!
Recently in a statement from Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz.,; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., they blamed the current situation on the U.S. decision to withdraw all troops from Iraq.
"We call on the president to explain to Congress and the American people how he plans to address the growing threat to our homeland and our national security interests posed by the rapidly expanding Al-Qaeda safe haven in Iraq and Syria,"
Oh give it a fucking break! The new boogie man = Sunnis ... be afraid!!!!
For decades before Bush/Cheney, America was openly helping Sunnis fight the Iranian funded Shiites and ... AND ... America was also secretly helping the Iranian funded Shiites fight the Sunnis.
The GOP want Americans to forget that America first gave Iraq to the Sunnis and then Bush/Cheney overthrew the Sunnis and gave Iraq to the Iranian funded Shiites. History shows that no matter who the USA gives the country of Iraq to, there will be turf wars in Iraq until the Sunnis and Shiites figure it out for themselves. Until they figure it out on their own, the Sunnis and Shiites will continue to fight and there isn't a GD thing America can do about it.
Personally, I don't give a flying fig if the Sunnis regain power in Iraq just as I didn't give a flying fig when the Sunnis held power for decades before Bush/Cheney ousted them. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the USA should do is accelerate alternative energy sources for America so that no more troops have to die for the Oil-God.
That said, I do think it is funnier than hell that the GOP have to openly support Iran because they hate Obama that much!
