McCain joins Obama's call for 'nuclear-free world' ["that is my dream"] [McBama barf alert]

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Republican Senator John McCain on Wednesday joined his former rival President Barack Obama in calling for a nuclear-free world, a goal previously formulated by former president Ronald Reagan.

During a lengthy speech on the Senate floor marking the unveiling of a statue of Reagan in the Capitol, the veteran Arizona lawmaker recalled how his "personal hero" had dreamed of a world free of nuclear weapons.

"That is my dream too," McCain said.

"This is a distant and difficult goal. And we must proceed toward it prudently and pragmatically, and with a focused concern for our security and the security of allies who depend on us."

. . . . .

Obama welcomed McCain's comments.

"I have outlined an ambitious strategy for promoting arms control and preventing nuclear terrorism and proliferation, which is already bearing fruit," the president said in statement.

"I look forward to working with Senator McCain and the entire Congress to ensure that we accomplish these goals together for the American people and the security of the entire planet."

I thought his dream was to find where he left his teeth?

The difference is that when it comes to disarming, Reagan would look at the rest of the world and say “You go first”.

And impossible this side of glory. Whatever kumbaya gobbledygook is in Obama’s mind, McCain at least makes a sustained showing of care about the tenets of distinct Christian faith. He should know better than to suggest this is a man-sized task.

"A world without nuclear weapons" gave us World Wars I and II.

Not a place I want to go again.

"That is my dream too," McCain said

Followed by McCain saying: "In fact, whatever Obama says he wants, that's what I want, too. Whatever my Democrat puppet-masters tell me I want, that's what I want. Really."

I’m fine with nuclear free weapon world, with starwar defence system in place. As a compromise we should increase substantially nuclear power stations

Genie is out of the bottle dumb a** McCain(goes without saying Bozo is a dumb a**)and has been since about 1944. Once something like that is learned the knowledge will always be out there and the only time it will disappear is when something bigger and more destructive takes its place. It has always been that way and always will be as long as the human race is on the earth.

Nuclear free world? What a fool.

A dream of a nuclear-free world.

And I dream of winning $300,000,000.00 in the lottery. I think my chances are much better.
