John McCain To Attack Vladimir Putin With Column In Pravda (Congress, interview)

[sickofnyc]

McCain, who first mentioned that he wanted to write a column during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, is not the only lawmaker to respond to Putin with an op-ed. Democratic Congressional Committee Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) submitted a piece to the Russian magazine Kommersant called "An Open Letter to the People of Russia."

I hope we get the English version. Cannot wait to read it and I am very surprised that Putin is allowing this, but then again he would look like a fool if he did not at this juncture.


Countering Putin, Rep. Israel pens column for Russian press

The DCCC chair on Thursday submitted a rebuttal article to Kommersant, a major Russian magazine, that he’s calling “An Open Letter to the People of Russia,” to explain the situation he and other members of Congress are in as they weigh whether to authorize the military strike which Putin argued in the Times should only happen with Security Council approval—which Russia would be able to veto.

A weak response. One of Dem lead from behind decisions.

Poor whittle Onumbers gots his whittle feewings hurt.

Sending out the McCain to deal with the "little boy in the corner"

Its exactly what Putain is expecting.

A waste of column space.

There is another Congressman (Steve Israel) who responded in NYT. His piece will be published on Monday. I am glad McCain is taking the US side on this thing. It's embarrassing to see so many Americans, mostly Republicans, cheer Putins anti-American propaganda.

Love how they say McCain will "attack" Putin. Rebut him, respond to him maybe, but attack? Good grief, Huffington.

That would assign undeserved importance to Putin's piece.

Why should he lower himself to Putin's level.

And why should Obama do that when every conservative across the country already has?
