McCain hires controversial Syria analyst who inflated credentials

Published September 28, 2013 FoxNews.com

Sen. John McCain has hired a controversial Syria analyst who recently was fired by one D.C. organization and resigned from another after it emerged that she inflated her academic credentials.

The Republican senator's office confirmed to Fox News that Elizabeth O'Bagy was hired as a legislative assistant, and will start work next week.

“Elizabeth is a talented researcher, and I have been very impressed by her knowledge and analysis in multiple briefings over the last year. I look forward to her joining my office," McCain said in a statement.

O'Bagy's pro-Syrian opposition research was used by hawkish lawmakers, including McCain, to build the case for intervention against the Assad regime in Syria.

But her clout quickly eroded when she was fired by the Institute for the Study of War after the think tank alleged she lied about her education credentials.

What else is new..... The whole government is full of LIARS. First off; we have a president who obviously has lied about him actually being a citizen (really, why is he so afraid to release his birth certificate) all the way down to those congressional members who were sworn into office to represent the constituents of their respective states only to go against the majority of what their "people" want... really wish I could get paid the money that some of these politicians make. At least then I know I would be making my money honestly; WITHOUT LYING.....

McCain is senile.

He'd like us all to think that.

Hiring her was yet another example of morally vacant politicians. Anything to further his let's-get-involved-in-Syria agenda.

Lurch to thr right for the election then follow the progressive party line.

Sounds like OUR Senators.

Time for McCain to retire. Past time, actually.
