McBlather
The Iraq thing is never done.
Obama is bombing the north. And, the war continues at home from the usual quarters.
McCain Says Limited U.S. Strikes on Militants in Iraq Are Not Enough
John McCain has never met a war he didn't like. Seething is his default position. He lies in wait for opportunities to bang the drum.
In actual fact, I think that McCain is still festering over the fact that he was spurned in his run for President.
His campaign will never end.
He does not, evidently, see himself as a sore loser or a whiner. But he comes across that way.
It is hard to imagine a McCain presidency let alone two of them.
I am sure that he is too old to run again in '16 but that hasn't kept him down before.
The funny thing is that I actually like the guy. He has funny asides and somehow doesn't take himself all that seriously. But he is a dog with a bone on anything involving troops. It is his playing card. Being a POW has never left him. His bitterness over it is tangible.
He is still the guy in the picture.
As he seeks an opportune target for his shit, he finds the perfect target in Obama. Twice beaten by him, he is legitimized by the rivalry.
Besides, it keeps his name in the papers. An otherwise irrelevant old man. Just happens to have a history.
