This apt description of the confluence of macho wimps like Bob Haldeman and the certifiable loony G. Gordon Liddy was used to explain how Nixon ended up in disgrace. Sad to say it is an accurate description of the faux John Wayne we have endured in W's 8 year reign and the real war monger we will have in McCain, should he prevail. The swagger McCain is displaying on Georgia is no put-on. This guy is determined to have a showdown with every one he sees as a rival to US supremacy. This mentality would be dangerous at any time. Now with contention for oil and other essential raw materials rising and the emergence of wealthy, well-armed nations unwilling to be cowed by us, the election of a belligerent, chip-on-the shoulder hot head is incredibly dangerous. When McCain returned from Vietnam, he threw himself into studying that war to see what went wrong. It is clear that the conclusion he drew is to deploy military force without regard to political considerations or geo-political realities. McCain sees his presidency as the opportunity he has craved to prove out his theory that he knows how to win wars. McCain is giving us all a preview of the dark days to which he wants to return. This failed fly-boy has no grasp of how debilitated our armed forces are after the tragic malfeasance of the Bush regime.He cares not a whit for the nuanced understanding of our weakened position in world affairs As bad as W and Cheney have been, McCain is letting us know that when the phony tough Bushies are replaced by this crazy brave crew the world will be significantly more frightening place.
