McCain Claims He's 'Vetted' Syrian Rebels Because He Knows Them

McCain touted that he’s “vetted a number of them because I know them.” It was at that point Fox aired the infamous photo from last year of McCain and a few Syrian rebels, two of which turned out to be suspected kidnappers. This led to Rand Paul taking a shot at McCain and illustrating this as an example of why it’s hard to properly vet Syrian rebels.

So you vetted Khalid al-Hamad, whom you are photographed with, who ate a Human heart on video?

He vetted Sarah Palin too, didn't he?

1. This is the reason why it's wrong to give carte blanche to anyone based on past

accomplishments. We do this all the time with ex-military officers. Yes, they deserve a chance to continue their exemplary military leaderships roles in civilian life, but they're not all up to the task. There was a term for those who used their past accomplishments to keep themselves propelled in jobs that they are not suited for. I heard it more in my youth, than in my adult years. My dad would say that they were "resting on their laurels." I think McCain has reached that point.


rest on your laurels
to be so satisfied with your own achievements that you make no effort to improve Just because you passed all your exams, that's no reason to rest on your laurels.

Though, I think our generation has seen the next level, which includes officers who use their past achievements as an excuse to do things that should be inexcusable.
