WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Obama on Saturday for failing to bomb Stonehenge while in the United Kingdom for the NATO summit.
This is a time when its important to send our enemies the message that the United States is strong, McCain told Fox News. I can think of no better way to do that than by blowing Stonehenge off the map.
McCain said that he was astounded by Obamas reluctance to order airstrikes on the ancient monument. He had a clean shot at Stonehenge, and he blinked, he said.

Heres A Picture Of John McCain Hanging Out With ISIS Freedom Fighters In 2013
by Doktor Zoom - Jun 26, 2014
So heres a heck of a thing: Back in May 2013, Forever Warmonger John McCain was really excited about the prospects of arming the Syrian moderates who were fighting to free that country from the iron grip of Bashar al-Assad. He even sneaked into the country to meet with the head of the Free Syrian Army, Gen. Salim Idris, the fellow in the striped shirt there (Idris was ousted in February of this year).
Only one small problem with the little photo-op: In addition to Idris, some of the other guys in the pic are apparently members of a slightly less moderate group: ISIS, the guys who are currently bringing down Iraq, and the photo is reportedly being circulated by ISIS as proof of their legitimacy. Oops.
And this is where you may want to get your skeptic hat on: The initial source for that claim appears to be righty blog WeaselZippers (they dont cite a source), and so far, most of the reposts have been wingnut blogs trumpeting it as proof that theres no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Even so, were happy to pass it along, if for no other reason that its yet more evidence that John McCain loves him some military intervening, regardless of who it is that were intervening for, just as long as were bombing somebody.
And if youd like a more nuanced look at McCains love for whover he thinks is the enemy of our enemy, go take a look at this piece at the Atlantic, which frankly just left us thinking what a wonderful can of worms America opened when it liberated Iraq.
