    McCain, a Republican, stood next to an enlarged, close-up photo of Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his 5-year-old brother and mother when their small rubber boat capsized as it headed for Greece. McCain said the photo has “opened the world’s eye to this devastating crisis.”

    McCain said it should haunt Americans that “the United States will continue to do nothing meaningful” about conflicts like that in Syria that have led to a surge in refugees.

    Secretary of State John Kerry said after meetings on Capitol Hill Wednesday that the U.S. will take in more refugees.

    That’s a very sad and disturbing picture but I have to ask myself how many of these refugees have the right intentions and Are not going to turn into part of the Isis terrorist organization if some of them are not already affiliated with them and just infiltrating I’m coming in the name of being a refugee. these fruit are coming from a farm that’s been sprayed with a lot of pesticides and had a lot of weeds so you really don’t know how affected these fruits are I would be scared to bite into one of them

    What a buffoon

    I’m more shocked than he is of this horrible crisis, but his long time suggestion to intervene militarily, has never worked, and will never work.

    In syria it’s estimated that 250,000 lives have perished, in Vietnam the estimate is 5,000,000, a 20 fold figure.

    What is he suggesting?

    Someone should tell Johnny Mac that he had been played for a useful idiot as the story accompanying that picture was found to be a LIE.

    McCain is a corrupt politician and usually on the wrong side of things. As awful as the picture is the fact is Muslims are trying to overrun Europe to achieve world caliphate.
