In reply to the discussion: McCain: I'd Have Been 'Reluctant' To Start Iraq War If I Won In 2000 [View all]Unca Adverse
(29 posts)108. Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran!
Sang John "Songbird" McCain . . . But Not Iraq? Why "Songbird", that doesn't sound surprising,
it sounds like one big garbage-mouthed lie!
Yet some still consider this turncoat to be a war hero . . . Well, John is a war hero who made numerous
anti-American propaganda broadcasts for Radio Hanoi to our U.S. troops during his privileged captivity
in Vietnam and also gave highly classified information on the routes his fellow pilots used to bomb North Vietnam.
Just how many millions or even billions did it take to whitewash this collaborator into a war hero?
Ask his second wife, she might know . . .
The fact that John McCain was able to run for president and is even now seated in our U.S. Senate
is a grotesque travesty and a total mockery of our American system of governance.

I believe he's only setting himself up to criticize Hillary in case she runs.
