Hawk McCain Calls for military action in Iran

[Joe Fields]

Just saw on MSNBC. Can you spell DRAFT?

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. McCain is a Joe Lieberman.

If you won't vote for Lieberman, why on earth would you vote for McCain?

[oasis]

2. I heard it and did a double take. McCain's war mongering will come back

to haunt him in his 2008 presidential race.

3. mc cain as he is growing older

is showing the effects of his torture in vietnam..i really do feel sorry for him.

draft? maybe

[underscorenow]

9. yeah, he sure fell far from the tree!

15. Hi underscorenow!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Joe Fields]

4. the unfortunate thing is that McWhore enjoys wide popularity

among people who ascribe themselves to be moderates throughout the country. A most dangerous combination.

5. MSNBC has has rightwing nut Charles Pena backing up McCain saying

the U.S. public is more receptive to a strike on Iran than they were on Iraq. The corporate media is condttioning us for the Neocon's next war.

6. scum mccain has made no bones about a draft

he calls it a mandatory national service to the country, but it is the same thing

remember:

1. mccain voted against making martin luther king day a national holiday
2. mccain was up to his neck taking bribes in the S&L scandal
3. mccain allowed his family to be trashed because of political ambitions
4. mccain wants to send more troops to iraq
5. mccain has voted for the IWR, the patriot act etc


unfortunately, when will the democrats in congress serve their country, and fight the facscism that is taking over?

7. A Draft?

Then we can party like it's 1969 !

8. McCain's voting record has long been far right and this recent

remark about Iran is cut from the same cloth.

The guy's a blood monger. A more personable blood monger than Rumsfeld and Perle et al, but a bloodmonger nevertheless.

10. Didnt Hillary say the same thing a couple months ago?

I remember reading an OpEd that stated she must run to the right of the adminstration on Iran if she wants to be taken seriously in 2008. Two days later, she runs to the right of the admin. on Iran.

11. If I was a betting man, Id place bets on airstrikes by summer.

0% chance of ground forces. They just dont have the support.

[Joe Fields]

12. Agreed. But I feel a draft, and it's not from an open window.

13. Wonder how much dough war brings in for McCain both personally

and for his state (politically). This man is sick. He gets off on war. I'll never forget he and Lieberman joyful when we went to bomb Iraq.

14. McCain likely believes he's gonna need a ton of AIPAC money to

offset the lack of donations a GOP candidate would be getting from the Xtian right. He pissed the fundies off during his 2000 campaign when he equated Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell to Minister Farrakkan.

It's going to be a tough presidential primary between he and George Allen.
