Obama’s competence as commander in chief challenged in Senate hearing

[Geee]

Washingrton Times:

Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain on Tuesday directly questioned President Obama’s competence as the nation’s commander in chief.

 

At a hearing to examine the White House’s Middle East strategy, Mr. McCain, Arizona Republican, cited Mr. Obama’s failed train-and equip program for moderate Syria rebels fighting the regime of President Bashar Assad. The senator referred to Mr. Obama’s appearance on CBS “60 Minutes” in which he said he was proven right because he never thought the $500 million program would work in the first place. The White House asked for the legislation.

 

“Harry Truman must be spinning in his grave,” Mr. McCain said of the president whose motto was “the buck stops here.”

 

“If there is an opposite for Commander in Chief, this is it,” Mr. McCain said.
