Oops. This is kind of like the Rick Perry moment during the 2012 debates only worse. While McCain was bashing away at Rand Paul on Hannity, he had a slip of the tongue and basically admitted he met with ISIS while in Syria. You know, that photo with him and terrorists in Syria? At least two of them were ISIS members. McCain and his defenders like to claim they were the ‘moderate’ Syrian rebels. Watch the following video. If you want to skip ahead of the start of the McCain bs, start the video at about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. BTW, anyone notice how chummy Hannity has been with McCain lately? For awhile, Hannity was bashing the old coot because conservatives can’t stand him. I guess ‘Brother Rove’ set Sean Hannity right on McCain.

I’ve grown tired of Rand Paul’s flip-flopping becoming a typical DC insider. But on this issue he is right. Arming the so called ‘moderate’ Muslims in Syria will just end up arming ISIS as the so called ‘moderates’ either get killed fighting, or simply join up with ISIS.
John McCain’s slip of the tongue won’t help him quell Internet accusations that he once met and took pictures with members of the terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday night, the Arizona Republican senator went off on Rand Paul after host Sean Hannity brought up the Kentucky Republican senator’s concern that providing weapons to Syrian rebels will only end up benefiting ISIS.
“Has Rand Paul ever been to Syria? Has he ever met with ISIS?” McCain fumed, certainly meaning to say the Free Syrian Army instead of ISIS.
McCain has long advocated giving weapons to what he considers the moderate opposition trying to overthrow the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad. Critics of such a policy, including Paul, warn that there are no true moderates of any strength fighting Syria’s brutal strongman.
