France 24 has a bizarre interview with Senator-for-war John McCain this morning, in which he laments the tragic turn events in Syria have taken.
McCain is deeply disappointed that the war he could already taste mere days ago has been snatched away by the perfidy of that punk Putin. In the course of his remarks McCain uncorks this whopper, "All of us seek a peaceful, non-violent resolution to this conflict."
Of course we do, John...
McCain expresses concern for the predicament that French President Francois Hollande now finds himself in. Already through the floor in polling numbers, Hollande must have thought there was nothing to lose when he stepped forward so conspicuously as the only US ally other than Israel to back military action against Syria.
It was perhaps his last best chance at those spurs his spiritual guide BHL has promised him.

From punch line to "government in waiting" in 48 hours
So a capitalist and a communist and a feminist and an Imam walk into a bar in Doha...
And two days later France has recognized them as Syria's "government in waiting"!
Things sure do move quickly when the big dogs decide to get 'r done, don't they? It was barely two weeks ago that Hillary called for a shake-up of the Syrian opposition, and here we are; not only is the opposition "shaken-up", it has been totally remade to Washington's liking. Every one of the four leadership figures is a person comfortable taking orders from Washington, and not a one of them commands a single armed fighter in the country.
Yet they are the government in waiting, and were recognized as such yesterday by the GCC and the Arab League, and today by France. Hollande and France's master humanitarian BHL have been eager to get the humanitarian bombs dropping as in Libya. It won't be long now.
And while in the immediate post-election blush of goodwill it was almost thinkable that America might sit this invasion/occupation out, a higher profile for the butcher Assad and the noble efforts of the Nations of Virtue to save the people of Syria might just be what's needed to get America's horny Generals off the evening news.
