McCain: Time to 'pull the trigger' with Iran
(AP) – 3 days ago

WASHINGTON — Senator John 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. snip

Speaking figuratively, the Arizona Republican says the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but failing to "pull the trigger."

5. It sounds very possible he will lose his election this time.
I only wish I could think of a way to get rid of Joe at the same time!

2. He means it's good he wasn't elected president. Or, threats aren't backed up with anything.

10. He's playing the right wing card again. Anything to get elected.
He is unstable and he runs to the any side that he thinks will benefit him. Look what he does in a pinch: Palin, economic crisis, sing bomb iran, for vets, then disown vets, etc.

11. I'm a maverick, I never said I was a maverick
He's an opportunist. JD Heyworth (you could marry your horse!) is worse, though.

6. He's clearly advocating a nuclear first strike against them. The man is
either insane or a war criminal wanna-be.

8. He wants another war - I guess two at a time is not enough for him.
McCain is so fucking crazy, he is no longer amusing - He should be retired for everyone's good.

14. before *'s little war hard on
Iran was going more moderate--* attacks Iraq with lies and Iran votes for their own crazy bully. Maybe, we need to take a look at the PNAC again. The plan to take control of the ME--oh yeah, I believe it's "spreading democracy." What a fekkin joke--I believe it--NOT! More like allowing corporations to control the oil in the ME--can't have a country nationalizing their oil.

If McCain was so concerned about Iran--he would have been on top of an administration outing a whole network that monitors nuclear materials-especially from Iran. I see that he was not concerned enough to keep an operation alive. Maybe because that network could so easily invalidate claims made by those who want to further their own agenda. PNAC
