On Memorial Day in 2013, John McCain, senior United States Senator from Arizona and Republican presidential nominee in 2008, went on a secret trip to Syria to meet with the rebels who were fighting against Bassar Assad.<\/p>\n
At the time, McCain described his visit as \u2018moving.\u2019 During an appearance on CNN, McCain elaborated on his experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a very moving experience to meet these fighters who have been struggling now for over two years. And they\u2019re very aware of the battlefield situation and they\u2019re very disturbed about the dramatic influx of Hezbollah fighters, more Iranians, and of course, stepped-up activities of Bashar Assad.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCain posed for pictures with these rebels, smiling as the camera snapped. Now, ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria formerly known as Al Qaeda in Iraq, is using those pictures as a campaign ad.<\/p>\n
The ISIS terrorists are thus\u00a0using Republican\u00a0politicians to\u00a0advance their cause.<\/p>\n
