You forgot number 5. They just hit a chemical weapon depot. After reading the reports that sounds like the most plausible explanation.

How many times and by how many countries has McCain been brainwashed?
Trick question. You don't have to answer because it's rhetorical and nobody knows for sure. At least two. Here's how McCain and other Senators are brainwashed & psy-oped. Literally.
It's a RollingStone article by the late Michael Hastings (R.I.P dude!!) that should be non-partisan enough for everyone, while at the same time showing what we're up against. McCain is up front & center for some programming!
The U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in "psychological operations" to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war, Rolling Stone has learned – and when an officer tried to stop the operation, he was railroaded by military investigators…
…"My job in psy-ops is to play with people’s heads, to get the enemy to behave the way we want them to behave," says Lt. Colonel Michael Holmes, the leader of the IO unit, who received an official reprimand after bucking orders. "I’m prohibited from doing that to our own people. When you ask me to try to use these skills on senators and congressman, you’re crossing a line."...
...Those singled out in the campaign included senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Jack Reed, Al Franken and Carl Levin; Rep. Steve Israel of the House Appropriations Committee; Adm. Mike Mullen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Czech ambassador to Afghanistan; the German interior minister, and a host of influential think-tank analysts.

here`s a crazy idea, before we go bombing sovereign countries maybe congress should have a vote and actually declare war against them FIRST?
if congress doesn`t have the guts or the votes to pass a declaration of war then maybe we shouldn`t be bombing anybody.

Wow!
The article you linked to in your post is disturbing. Not surprising, but still disturbing.
Where is the outrage? Where is the investigation? Where are the criminal charges?
But mostly, the article demonstrates the level of susceptibility to manipulation on McCain's part.

The strangest thought just hit me: McCain is so obvious--and moreso each day--so amoral, so effin' crazy, that our collective utter horror at this idiot--and his masters--might alone break down the partisanship and unite us on draining the swamp after all.
Thats not a crazy idea it's quite sane and Im sure the Constitution only lets Congress make declarations of war.

“Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria.”
The US wants to install a puppet regime in Damascus so it can secure pipeline corridors in the East, oversee the transport of vital energy reserves from Qatar to the EU, and make sure that those reserves continue to be denominated in US Dollars that are recycled into US Treasuries and US financial assets.
