McCAIN TRIES TO FORCE OBAMA TO START WAR

Bomb, bomb, McCain’s behavior is predictable. He never saw a “potential for war” he did not like. He thinks it makes him look tough. When President Obama decided after careful consideration that the United States should punish al Assad for gassing 1,400 of his own people as a way of trying to preventing him from doing it again, McCain was first in line in support. However, when Congress finally understood that Obama was only talking about a short period of missile strikes, and wrote a resolution to that effect, McCain abandoned him. McCain wants war; he likes war. After all, look at what it has done for him. For him, war was like childbirth, painful for a short time, but resulted in a lifetime of rewards. Yes, the America people treated him as a hero and Arizona gave him a career but for me he has milked that cow dry.


He wants to use his influence among right wing radial war hawks to start a full-blown war—those neo-cons who see profit in war in combination with those who see glory in war. He wants to change Obama’s word from “punishment” to “war”.  Conservative detractors who hate Obama as well s progressive critics who hate war are having a hard time understanding the significance of the difference between these words. McNasty is trying to leverage his military pseudo intellectualism; all he really knows about war, he learned from the bottom of his class in Annapolis and from inside a cockpit of a fighter plane, not even a war college. He may succeed in convincing congress to pass an unfavorable resolution to Obama—prevent a limited punishment strike—but he will never convince Obama to do more than punish Syria President al Assad. Obama and the American people will never go to war in the Middle East—unlike McCain, they are too smart for that.
