Posted by Randy MorrowThis article is very well-written, well-sourced/referenced and a clear-eyed vision of McCain and his mistakes and his vision of war-like America for the next 4-8 years and his undying devotion to Israel (althou, Obama did a pretty good job at devoting himself to Israel, too). Included, too, is McCain's plan for the destruction of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and it's, since proven as a lie, build-up of nuclear weapons. Reading about McCain's plans is like re-living (or continuing to live in) Bush's world .... you know they're lying, but they keep on saying what they're saying and people keep on acting as if they're believing them .... and no one is doing anything .... like .... impeaching them. Bad trip .... but very accurate.
Biting review and commentary on McCain's appearance before the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee.
"As likely as pigs pooping pineapples" isn't a metaphor you're likely to see on an MSM op-ed page, but nor are you going to find this sort of straight-talking analysis of McCain's Iran rant. Huber pretty much has his facts straight except one: as articles in the Asia Times have pointed out, economic sanctions on Iran have been effective, even on companies not "subject to US law." Debunking McC's Iran lies is an important topic; this is a good start.
