Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) agrees with the Bush Administration’s imposition of new, strict sanctions against the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which is involved deeply in global terrorism and supporting the insurgent forces in Iraq, as he said in a conference call with bloggers Thursday.
McCain said the US should proceed with sanctions but encourage like-minded nations to engage as well. “We could have a significant impact on the Iranians if other European countries…who share our views and values, vote for this too,” he said.
The senator said he recognized the Russians would pose a problem that we would “have to go around” but encouraged President Bush to speak with Europeans who would enact the same kinds of sanctions. McCain recognized the recent cooperation of France in the struggle against state sponsors of terrorism.

More from Article: “McCain, who lost most conservatives when he supported the president’s immigration reform proposals, confirmed that he did not support the DREAM Act, which was stopped in the Senate Wednesday by a vote of 52-44. The DREAM Act would provide amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who came to America when under the age of 16. It would also
give green cards to illegal aliens residing in America for five years and attending college or performing military service. “
I don’t believe Mr. McCain voted yesterday on the Dream Act. Why didn’t he represent the folks from AZ on that vote?
“I got the message and the American people want the borders controlled first,” he said, adding that once that was accomplished, he would take steps to implement comprehensive immigration reform including paths to citizenship.”
Sounds like he just got half the message. Still an amnesty supporter and this needs to be widely known in the presidential campaign.
Actually, he’s in the same category with Jorge on this issue AFAIC: don’t believe a word he says. He’s just another open borders RINO trying to fool enough voters to stay viable in the presidential primaries.
Too bad he didn’t vote...
He may not have supported it, but didn’t show up to cast a vote IIRC.
McCrain is so pull of it his eyes long ago turned brown, wasn’t he listed as a cosponsor of the dream act. His statement once we build a few miles of fence then will give everybody amnesty and you people can shove it. That’s what the jerk says.
McCain says in the debates that the people no longer trust Washington. McCain fails to see that he is part of the reason people no longer trust Washington.
McCain is a tad late to the anti-illegals side, considering how vociferously he authored and pushed the Comprehensive Immigration bill.
But McCain couldn't be troubled to vote against the DREAM Act.
