John McCain Mocks Obama for Calling Climate Change a Threat as Isis Advances


THE GUARDIAN: Republicans blame Obama after fall of Syrian and Iraqi cities / ‘The president is saying the biggest problem we have is climate change’

Senator John McCain on Sunday attacked the president for citing climate change as a threat to national security, suggesting that the Obama administration’s focus on environmental issues was detracting from the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.

The comments by the Senate armed services committee chairman were part of a rotating blame game over the Memorial Day weekend about who is responsible for recent gains by Isis fighters, who last week took control of the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra and the Iraqi city of Ramadi.

“There is no strategy, and anybody who says there is, I’d like to hear what it is,” McCain said, appearing on CBS News. “Because it certainly isn’t apparent. Right now we are seeing these horrible reports, in Palmyra, they’re executing people and leaving their bodies in the streets.

“Meanwhile the president of the United States is saying that the biggest problem we have is climate change.”

In a commencement address at the US Coast Guard Academy last week, President Barack Obama said climate change posed an “immediate risk”. » | Tom McCarthy in New York | Sunday, May 24, 2015

Senator John McCain: Russians Deserve Better Than Putin

PRAVDA: When Pravda.ru editor, Dmitry Sudakov, offered to publish my commentary, he referred to me as "an active anti-Russian politician for many years." I'm sure that isn't the first time Russians have heard me characterized as their antagonist. Since my purpose here is to dispel falsehoods used by Russia's rulers to perpetuate their power and excuse their corruption, let me begin with that untruth. I am not anti-Russian. I am pro-Russian, more pro-Russian than the regime that misrules you today.

I make that claim because I respect your dignity and your right to self-determination. I believe you should live according to the dictates of your conscience, not your government. I believe you deserve the opportunity to improve your lives in an economy that is built to last and benefits the many, not just the powerful few. You should be governed by a rule of law that is clear, consistently and impartially enforced and just. I make that claim because I believe the Russian people, no less than Americans, are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

A Russian citizen could not publish a testament like the one I just offered. President Putin and his associates do not believe in these values. They don't respect your dignity or accept your authority over them. They punish dissent and imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media. They harass, threaten, and banish organizations that defend your right to self-governance. To perpetuate their power they foster rampant corruption in your courts and your economy and terrorize and even assassinate journalists who try to expose their corruption.

They write laws to codify bigotry against people whose sexual orientation they condemn. They throw the members of a punk rock band in jail for the crime of being provocative and vulgar and for having the audacity to protest President Putin's rule.

John McCain invité par une chaîne russe

LA PRESSE: Un présentateur d'une chaîne publique russe, réputé pro-Kremlin, a annoncé dimanche avoir invité le sénateur républicain américain John McCain sur le plateau de son émission pour qu'il exprime en direct son point de vue sur la Syrie.

Vladimir Soloviov a indiqué sur Twitter qu'il avait invité sur le plateau de son émission Dimanche Soir le sénateur républicain, connu pour ses positions très critiques à l'égard de la Russie concernant le dossier syrien et ses déclarations répétées en faveur de frappes contre la Syrie.

«Au nom de VTRK (la télévision) et en mon nom propre, j'invite le sénateur John McCain à apparaître en direct à Dimanche Soir», a écrit M. Soloviov.

«J'ai décidé de donner au sénateur McCain la possibilité de dire tout ce qu'il pense sur les relations entre la Russie et les États-Unis et les chances d'éviter la guerre en Syrie», a déclaré M. Soloviov à la chaîne Rossiya 24.

La chaîne garantit que M. McCain «aura la possibilité de s'adresser aux Russes en direct», a-t-il ajouté. » | Agence France-Presse | dimanche 15 septembre 2013

John McCain publiera une tribune dans la Pravda

LA PRESSE: Le sénateur américain John McCain, très critique du pouvoir russe, publiera bientôt une tribune dans l'ex-journal officiel soviétique, la Pravda, a confirmé son porte-parole vendredi.

Le républicain John McCain avait plaisanté lors d'une interview sur la tribune publiée par le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, dans le New York Times jeudi. «J'adorerais avoir une tribune dans la Pravda», a-t-il lancé sur CNN.

La Pravda («vérité», en russe), fondée par les bolchéviques en 1912, a pendant des décennies été synonyme de propagande, en tant que journal officiel du Kremlin, avant de tomber en désuétude dans les années 1990 avec l'écroulement de l'Union soviétique. Il est aujourd'hui l'organe du parti communiste russe, à ne pas confondre avec le grand quotidien populaire Komsomolskaïa Pravda. » | Agence France-Presse | Washington | vendredi 13 septembre 2013

Des républicains comparent l'affaire Benghazi au scandale du Watergate

LE POINT: L'ancien chef de la CIA, qui a démissionné vendredi, témoignera au Sénat sur l'attaque contre le consulat américain de Benghazi.

L'ancien chef de la CIA David Petraeus, qui a démissionné vendredi après la révélation d'une liaison avec sa biographe, témoignera auSénat sur l'attaque contre le consulat américain de Benghazi, une affaire que le républicain John McCain compare au scandale du Watergate. Le sénateur John McCain a indiqué à des journalistes mercredi que David Petraeus se rendrait bien en personne devant la commission du Renseignement du Sénat, répondant ainsi à la demande de parlementaires. La CIA n'a pas commenté ces informations. "Le général Petraeus, comme vous le savez, participera à l'audition devant la commission du Renseignement", a-t-il indiqué en conférence de presse, avant d'indiquer plus tard que cela aurait lieu lors de l'audition déjà programmée de jeudi. Mais la date précise de l'audition ne semblait toutefois pas définitivement calée, contrairement à ce que laissait entendre John McCain.

John McCain a appelé à la formation d'une commission parlementaire spéciale au Sénat pour enquêter sur les événements de Benghazi, dans lesquels l'ambassadeur et trois autres Américains ont été tués dans un assaut à l'arme lourde, le 11 septembre. "Il est essentiel que le Congrès conduise sa propre enquête indépendante. Je veux être parfaitement clair : l'administration n'a aucune crédibilité, pour la plupart d'entre nous, concernant les multiples controverses et contradictions soulevées dans la gestion de cette affaire", a lancé John McCain. » | Source AFP | jeudi 15 novembre 2012
