McCain Speech Wrap Up on Foreign Policy
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg
We seriously learned nothing today about John McCain's foreign policy. Outside of two paragraphs that really got into no detail. But let's remember what we do know about McCain' foreign policy
- McCain's is reckless and more extreme than Bush: He was the neocons choice in 2000 and his top foreign policy advisor, Randy Shueneman is a Neocon. He has had a more extreme position on Iran. More extreme position on Russia. More extreme position on North Korea. He has called our allies adversaries and took an offensive and aggressive tone in the run up to the Iraq war.
- John McCain's foreign policy is very similar to George Bush. McCain didn't even use the word Afghanistan. He was talking about attacking Iraq and Iran one month after 9/11. He loves to tout the surge. But before the surge came the war. A war he said would be easy and that we'd be greeted as liberators.
That's it really pretty simple Nothing new in the speech. And pretty weak.
I could barely watch. McCain looked exhausted and depressed. Sad.

Don't foreget: We're going to "stop sending 700 billion US dollars a year to countries that don't like us very much." That'll teach 'em!

I can see it now under a McCain administration the League of Democracy will be setup to triumph over evil. It fearless leader being wildman McCain who's super powers include being able to get really angry and an ablity to confuse his enemies by confusing his enemies. This is so cartoonish if it weren't so pathetic it would be funny.

In the time. Now we’re watching the sequel, and it's just as much of a horror film for an American people who deserve leaders who know how --and where-- to keep them safe.

So is the "foreign" shot through the very best and very worst of our national life in the 21st century. Maybe for once we could avoid easy cliches about it.
