RP wants us to surrender the WOT. He would do nothing about Al Quieda and Iran. This eliminates RP for me right there. At least McCain understands the threats we have from these ghouls (not that I agree with McCains plan to deal with it).
Here's where McCain fails, along with the Dems. Their inaction and promotion of the status quo on the economy will very soon put us in a place where we can't pay for the war anyway. If they dont' do something about htis Keynesian mess, we're screwed. And not just by the ME, but China, Russia, the UN, etc.
You couldn't be more wrong...Letters of marque and reprisal simply means hiring contractors like BlackWater and others to go after non State terrorists like Osama. Lot cheaper and less political fallout. The U.S. Military is designed to fight Nation-States not widely spread out religious nut cases.
He would not leave our borders open and undefended either.
McCain? People be smart enough not to let the PTB foist this fraud on America...
