McCain blames 'cowardly' Obama administration for allowing plane attack

Guess who Sen. John McCain blames for the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight 17? Yup, President Obama:
Mr. McCain said that Mr. Obama is running a “cowardly administration that failed to give the Ukrainians weapons with which to defend themselves.”
McCain's comments came during an appearance on Fox's Hannity show. He said that if Obama had simply armed the Ukrainians, then "these separatists may not even have occupied and had access to these weapons, which apparently, they got at an airfield."
So according to expert McCain, if Obama had simply weaponized Ukraine, then these separatists never would have been able to get the weapon system they used to bring down the airplane. But hold on a moment ... how does McCain know that the missiles were obtained at an airfield, and that they weren't provided to the separatists by Russian military—or that Russian military personnel may have actually been operating the weapons?

I hate to do this because he served on my ship in 1967 USS Forrestal CVA-59 in Vietnam  he was in the plane that started a chain reaction killing 134 ship mates.  Google Forrestal fire.

but he deserves this he is the wing nut du jour.  and the thought that he might have set in the big chair prompts me to thank God he isn't.  for a POW he sure is gung ho on war, remember "bomb bomb bomb Iran", and all the saber waving whenever any conflict in the Middle East came up. now he's advising us to enable others to have war along with our troops on the ground,  the man is shell shocked or senile both fit.
