SayItAintSoJoe Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (CNN) - In an interview deriding the Iranian government for their roll in a foiled terror plot against the Saudi ambassador in Washington, Senator John McCain took a swipe at President Obama Thursday, saying that his failure to support Iranian anti-government demonstrators in 2009 may have allowed the plot to unfold. McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, said in an interview on CBS' The Early Show: "we could have avoided this. We should have supported [the demonstrators], and they could have overthrown the government then." We could have avoided foiling a terror plot by going to war with Iran back when the demonstrators were revolting. So.... Supporting a revolution (Libya) is bad. Standing aside and letting a revolution take its course (Egypt) is bad. Not supporting a revolution (Iran) and keeping the country out of another war is bad.

WaterMan Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Maybe we didn't have the money to liberate yet another country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care what McCain thinks - his crowning military achievement was getting shot down and captured. And it was his shrewd political acumen than unleashed Sarah Palin onto the national stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 So some foiled plot that frankly doesn't add up if you listen to Iran experts is an "act of war", yet how many illegal assasinations and attempts (not just plots) have the administations conducted? I'm sure no one here remembers the Gadafi assassination attempt where his grandkids were killed, because it "conveniently" happened right before the Bin Laden capture. Pretty obvious that just like terrorism, cyberhackers, this is all just a way to beat the war drum and convince the masses that something must be done, when they already have had them marginalized through sanctions and international pressure. If anyone still thinks we're over there to "liberate" or make ourselves safer, you're not paying attention. I'm getting pretty sick and tired of them advancing their agenda by risking my good friends' blood. Hope and change my ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to make a lot of deals and flip flops to get the backing of the GOP for that run at the brass ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
