Charles Pierce: John McCain's Piehole, Curiously, Remains Open

http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/20442-focus-john-mccains-piehole-curiously-remains-open

Well, hell, then, let's just tell them all to stop this bullshit and all will be well.

The Obama administration's approach to striking a nuclear deal with Iran, McCain noted, was fundamentally flawed. "Why should Iran have the right to enrich [uranium] when they have a clear record of seeking to and taking action to acquire nuclear weapons?" he asked. "Canada doesn't exercise a right to enrich uranium. Mexico doesn't."


Well, Canada's too smart to do it. After all, Canada's going to burn down the world with its tar sands anyway, and it can make a buck on that deal. Mexico is an economic basket case. And if Canada did decide to enrich uranium, would John McCain object? And, if so, why? People once thought this guy was a geopolitical thinker. Turns out he's just the grumbly old fart at the end of the bar at the VFW post, gassing on about stuff he doesn't understand.
