List of Countries that John McCain wanted us to intervene militarily over the past 5 years

Irag (stay forever)
Afghanistan (stay forever)
Egypt
Libya
Georgia
Iran
Syria
and now Ukraine

If I missed a country, please let me know, and if folks keep saying there's no difference between the parties, so it doesn't matter who wins the presidency, then think about this list. McCain was almost president.

His freelance "diplomacy" seems to create bloody messes one after the other followed by finger pointing from himself.

What a colossal asshole.

Thank you, Mr. Kalb. First of all, in the Vietnam conflict, we did pay a heavy price, I think that all of us would agree, whether we were in favor of our conflict or not. But our failure caused us to pay a heavy price.

But there was one thing that was very different in the 1970s than is true in the 21st century, and that is this global war on terrorism that we're confronted with. And I think, as I mentioned earlier, we all know that the only way you win this war is going where the terrorists are. And if you try to withdraw to the United States, then we would be subject to enormous, I think, difficulties, to say the least. So I think the world has changed dramatically since the days of the Vietnam war.

Every country on earth except the US would be toast. I may get a lot of shit for saying this but think about it - you know that the war mongerers would if it weren't for those pesky things like international laws.

I do believe that the GOP loves a war to get involved in.

this man is a decorated-war-hero-turned-republican-idiot who does not have the lives of his fellow military servicemen at heart, all he yells for is war, war, war! I know he is ex-military, but shouldn't he know the perils of war, and by knowing this want less of it instead of more? Go sit down somewhere Insane McCain, this Nation does not need your brand of patriotism.
