The Indigestible

It’s fascinating to me to hear McCain and Obama expound on policy, as though they were already elected and dictating to congress. One of them surely will be, but the hubris required to behave as though you’ve already won is genuinely — well, entertaining.

McCain is now saying that he would “pre-emptively” strike (that is, incite war with) Iran if that nation were to obtain a nuclear weapon.

Isn’t that a bit, well, lateish? I mean, isn’t that the biggest reason we haven’t attacked Pakistan or North Korea (at least not directly)? Isn’t there just the slightest concern that a nuke-possessing nation might, oh I don’t know, actually use its nukes?

Jesus. In trying to maverick his way around the Bush Doctrine, that doddering old goddamned fool manages to get it completely wrong. Why is it that no one in the “liberal media” is publicizing this shit?
