KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY

"The US keeps pointing a gun at Iran, but fails to pull the trigger."

With those words at a Senate hearing on Iran's nuclear program, April 14, Senator John McCain reminds us how fortunate we were to have kept his finger off the nuclear trigger by defeating his 2008 Presidential bid.

Senator McCain got to kill a bunch of innocent Vietnamese by dropping bombs on them from 30,000 feet during our utterly senseless war there that killed over a million Vietnamese as well as 58,000 Americans. McCain loved that war and has no regrets about his destruction of human life in it. He loves the Iraq war and the Afghan war and by his recent comments, can't wait for the fireworks to start against Iran with no justification whatsoever.

He is a pox on our political culture we should shun along with his fellow war lovers, Democrats as well as Republicans, whose reckless rhetoric endangers America and every country we falsely deem an enemy.
