It’s not dead, it’s pinin’ for the Fjords.
He had used that same tactic when it came to the International Criminal Court also. He was a decided supporter of both the ICC and LOST in the late 1990s. Since then he has hedged his bets a bit. Saying you still want these things, but you want them fixed first is very problematic.
Okay, you get them fixed. Then you join. Then what?
Do we simply drop out if the fixing doesn’t stay fixed? How do you drop out of LOST when all the nations of the world have signed on and it’s a thriving enterprise? How do we stop the U.N.’s income stream? Have we dropped out of the U.N. when it didn’t stay fixed?
These international “TRAPS” are something I think we should avoid like the plague. When a guy starts talking about what a good idea these things are, it’s a clear sign of them not knowing what they hell they are talking about.
That’s my take on it, at any rate.
BTW, I agree with your take. He’s not going to buck the globalist desires here. He’s closing Gitmo because the European nations want him to. He’s a limp wrist when it comes to world opinion.
He’s a sure bet to put us in LOST and the ICC IMO. I think he’s a sure bet on the three nation security plan and movement toward a NAU.
He’s such a pushover on Gitmo, he has sworn to close it on his first day in office. So what happens to all the other prisons around the world, where we hold terrorists?
Here's an interesting article that appeared on the forum on January 15th, 2008, by Cliff Kinkaid.
It touches on McCain's statements or actions related to LOST prominantly.
The article was titled, "UN Double Talk from Straight Talker McCain". http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1954211/posts
This isn’t dead as long as a single globalist is in washington capable and willing to resurrecting it.
Do not be deceived, like the criminal alien amnesty it will come back in many smaller fragments, each when assembled recreating the original abomination once more.
I hope that you are right. But the CFR have been, for now over 85 years, a group of well educated losers, who refuse to accept defeat. The organization was originally formed in the early 1920s by those upset over the fact that Wilson lost the debate over the League of Nations. They have been pushing ever since for more of the Wilsonian abandonment of the Washington/Jefferson foreign policy. They were instrumental in suppressing real debate over the United Nations, at the time of Ratification. They will continue to push.
Meanwhile, our capacity to resist continues to be undermined, on a long-term basis, by increasing evidence of a loss of any American identity. More significant than Senator Obama, himself, is what the wide-spread adulation for his candidacy tells us about how native Americans have come to see themselves--or not to see themselves. Obama is incidental, he would get no where as President with Congress, were it not for the fact that fewer and fewer among us, even care about the things that Congress would otherwise be expected to resist. Rather, more and more seemed desirous of purging their imaginary guilt over a heritage that once made all of us proud.
My current Feature at the Website addresses the real problem, as I see it:
Reflections On An Unfortunate Milestone--The Accidental American.

I'm still digging my way through comments, LOL.
The stuff you dug up is what I am remembering and what I found to be the last mentions in the media.
It seems Señor McCain doesn't want to highlight his positions on this.
I agree. And with so many issues before the public these days, he’s not going to dig deep to open another can of worms.
