Just what the world needs now, a hawk having fun
McCain, after two unsuccessful presidential campaigns and then eight years in the Senate minority, told me that he’s having the most fun he’s had since his 2000 presidential run. But, more important, he’s using his prominent perch to push a more hawkish foreign policy — with considerable success.
Yes lets get the US leading the way into every conflict on the planet, and if there are not enough now, he can probably arrange for some more.
We dodged a bullet when this gung-ho nutcase was not elected as president.

Moar weapons
Moar money
Moar death and destruction
Let's not even try to resolve the issue of Iran peaceably.
He has been clamoring for Obama to request congressional authorization for the use of force in Syria and Iraq — and now that Obama is moving ahead with such a request, McCain is likely to lead the charge for an expansive authorization of military power. He has put together a bipartisan coalition of senators favoring military aid to Ukraine to help fight Russian separatists — and the Obama administration, which resisted such an approach, appears poised to relent. He has been advocating for much higher Pentagon spending levels — and Obama, in his 2016 budget request, has begun to move in McCain’s direction. McCain has also used his stature, and his gavel, to push for a slower retreat from Afghanistan and a harder line in nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Watching McCain morph into a mini Dick Cheney is just plain scary.
A bit like a deranged Winston Churchill
We will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime, you betcha.
If only we had stayed in Vietnam!
More death to save lives
More destruction to win hearts and minds
More hate for love
More peace through war!
I suppose I better thank Sarah Palin for pulling him down with her.
Fun times for John.
Misery for millions more.
