McCain: Time to 'pull the trigger' with Iran [Title differs from article quote]
WJLA-TV 7 ABC Virginia ^ | 2010-04-14

Washington - Senator John McCain says the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while that country moves ever closer to having nuclear weapons.McCain opened a Senate hearing Wednesday by saying that Iran will get the bomb unless the United States acts more boldly.

Speaking figuratively, the Arizona Republican says the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but failing to "pull the trigger."

Once in a while even a slow clock hits the right time - or something like that .

But then McQueeg IS running in a primary.

Facts as I see them:

The majority of Americans are ignorant cowards and will continue to keep their heads in the sand.

Obama and his corrupt tribe will make demands and make noise, but backup nothing.

Iran WILL become a nuclear power... soon. What we need to worry about is how we’re going to deal with that new reality.

Obama will blame everything on others.

We will still have Obamacare.... and we can look forward to bankruptcy.

how can one say that we are over there fighting to protect this country and yet our borders are open?

I said this when Bush was in and I’m saying this about the rats, Mccain and Graham

“I tend to agree with McCain on this. We should have taken out Iran a long time ago. In my opinion, President Bush should have declared war on Iran and invaded them (after a heavy bombing, perhaps nuclear, attack) before leaving office. Too bad he didn’t listen to VP Cheney on that one.”

I tend to agree with YOU - but I also would have agreed with General Patton that we should have taken on Russia once we whipped the Nazis.

I agree, but I say there is ZERO chance of Obama attacking Iran. ZERO. It's gonna be left to Israel, after which Obama will lead the charge into turning Israel into a global pariah. Watch and see.

Not sure I want a dip-wad lunatic like Obamao pulling any triggers. He would find a way to shoot us.

Don't give the idiot any ideas. I can imagine him saying to his staff: "Yo, listen up! I gotta great idea. We launch a nuke on one of our own cities, and that'll show the other countries that we really aren't the aggressors that those other Presidents before ME made us out to be"

Sheesh...McCain can't even defend his own countrymen back in Arizona from gang bangers, drug smugglers, and criminal aliens, but he does want to attack Iran.

McCain isn't in law enforcement. He's a legislator. Not sure how J.D. Hayworth would suddenly become the Sheriff of Arizona to prevent all these crimes if he took over this Senate seat. And whatever you feel McCain's failings are, he's right about Iran. We're getting a little "I'll disagree with myself if someone I like agrees with me" on the whole McCain hating bit, don't you think?

CORRECTION TO MY PRIOR POST: I meant to say...

We’re getting a little “I’ll disagree with myself if someone I DISLIKE agrees with me” on the whole McCain hating bit, don’t you think?

He probably does believe it, yet should have said it long ago. Now he’s saying it for political gain and that’s all.

From Kosovo to now, Colonial Jack Ripper McCain never met a war he didn’t like.

He's a legislator.

...who for years has championed amnesty for illegals and who has failed to provide adequate resources (that's a legislative function, btw) for property border security.

I no longer have any idea who McCain is, what he thinks, or what he wants.
