Actually, he still wants to get involved in Syria:
The Arizona Republican has long called for a U.S. intervention in Syria but is pushing for action beyond the “limited” strikes that President Obama has called for.

Asked by The Associated Press whether he backs the measure announced Tuesday evening, McCain said: “In its current form, I do not.”

The Arizona Republican has long called for a U.S. intervention in Syria but is pushing for action beyond the “limited” strikes that President Obama has called for.

"I can't support something that may be doomed to failure in the long run,” McCain said Wednesday on "The Today Show."
McCain wants the U.S. to provide arms to the Free Syrian Army, a rebel offshoot that has been among those battling the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee announced a deal on a Syria resolution on Tuesday evening.

The measure would authorize the use of force in Syria for 60 days, with a possible 30 day extension and explicitly ban the use of ground forces in Syria.


In the interest of honesty, that's not exactly the same thing as being opposed to military strikes against Syria. It seems he wants to go even further.

I'm not advocating for or against his position. I just felt people should know the whole truth before deciding for themselves.

He was for it before he was against it.

Gamesmaship or dementia? Neither. McCain's an all in type of guy, and doesn't believe in half measures. He wants nothing less than a full scale invasion.

He's still fighting the Vietnam War loss. Redeeming his youth or some weird ass Citizen Kane-move.

No heaven forbid you criticize OR support McCain and risk taking a position.

I simply preferred people clearly understand Senator McCain's position rather than your edited version. If that is upsetting to you, so be it.

I have already stated my position with regard to Syria, and it is not the same as Senator McCain's position.

Ok.

It's called no confidence in this President what-so-ever and with him in charge it is better to do nothing.

But Gramps said it would be "catastrophic" to deny Obama the war authority he seeks.

Gramps better settle on one position or be locked up in an asylum.
