But McCain’s still being a dick about it

FOX HOST: You say that you will do everything in your power to block Susan Rice’s nomination if the President decides to name her to be secretary of state … . Is there anything that Ambassador Rice can do to change your mind?

MCCAIN: Sure, she can give everyone the benefit of explaining their position and the actions that they took. And I’ll be glad to have the opportunity to discuss these issues with her. Why did she say that al Qaeda has been decimated in her statement here on this program? Al Qaeda hasn’t been decimated. They’re on the rise. They’re all over Iraq.

Bin Laden’s dead, fucktard. Al Qaeda’s influence is way down globally…including in Iraq.
