Critical of the cautious U.S. position of not practicing loose canon diplomacy, Senator John McCain (formerly known as The Maverick) tried to kick start an international incident, (and another war in the middle east) by saying that the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but fails to "pull the trigger."
And thank goodness for cooler heads in Washington.
Seems McCain also had an itchy finger during the Presidential campaign and wanted to go to war against Russians after they invaded the nation of Georgia, claiming: "We are all Georgians." Not so fast, McCain (formerly known as The Maverick). Maybe the U.S. state of Georgia, but the nation of Georgia bordering Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan?
No. That would be a bridge way too far.
"We are all Georgians," was suppose to be McCain's, "Ich bein ein Berliner." moment, but it never materialized. Again, thank goodness for cooler heads in Washington.
In a difficult primary campaign to win the Republican nomination and retain his U.S. Senate seat from Arizona, McCain is once more trying to win votes back home by criticizing the Obama administration; which might have been the McCain administration if he had spent longer than ten minutes to select his running mate.
Usually it takes longer than ten minutes to buy a pair of shoes, pack luggage or select a meal at a restaurant, but it took McCain only ten minutes to pick Palin. So impaired was his judgment, he believed Sarah Palin would be a perfect substitute for Dick Cheney. The plan was that Palin would deliver the Hillary vote. Like Hillary voters were sheep. Baaaaa...
So McCain says the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while that country moves ever closer to having nuclear weapons, suggesting that the United States must act more boldly.
Backing away, must act more boldly, McCain seems to be raising the wimp factor of the Obama administration.
Ya gotta grab the bull by the horns, jump in feet first, pull that trigger and get the job done!
Like picking a running mate in ten minutes.
