Sen. #McCain becomes the Dennis Rodman of the Senate

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/05/27/mccain-syria/2363911/

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain, a proponent of arming Syrian rebels, quietly slipped into Syria for a meeting with anti-government fighters Monday.

Spokeswoman Rachael Dean confirms the Arizona Republican made the visit. She declined further comment about the trip.

The visit took place amid meetings in Paris involving efforts to secure participation of Syria's fractured opposition in an international peace conference in Geneva.

from AZ. Surely the President and Secretary of State will exercise due care not to step on the fine senator's toes.
