Over the Memorial Day weekend, Sen. McCain made a trip to Turkey and slipped into Syria for a quick 2-hour meeting with the Syrian rebels.
When I first read this, I remembered a couple weeks ago McCain met with the President at the White House to talk about Immigration and other issues.

Spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the White House was aware in advance of McCain's plans to travel to Syria. Carney declined to say whether McCain was carrying any message from the administration, but he said White House officials looked forward to hearing about his trip.

I know McCain has been very vocal and very critical of the President's policy towards Syria. Ironically, I happen to support the President's hesitance to become more involved in Syria's civil war.

McCain’s visit came as the Obama administration is once again considering an increase of support to the Syrian opposition, while at the same time pushing the opposition council to negotiate with the regime at an international conference in Geneva in early June.
