“Maybe they should get an old F-4, strap McCain in, let him take off and that will be it...”
Best plan I’ve heard yet.
It was said somewhere by someone that they were kinda relieved that McCain didn’t win in ‘08. Reason being that if this was the way McCain would’ve handled civil wars in the M.E. then we might have gotten roped into a half-a-dozen different little shoot-ups by now.
The country is tired of fighting. This country has been at war for virtually 20+ years. GW1, Somalia, Kosovo, enforcing the Iraqi no fly zone, Haiti, Afghanistan, GW2, drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, Libyan civil war, etc. I’m no pacifist but, come on, unless someone is attacking us or a vital U.S. ally lets give it a rest for a while.
Also heard someone else that “limited action in Syria” was akin to getting a little bit pregnant. I thought it fitting.
“It was said somewhere by someone that they were kinda relieved that McCain didn’t win in ‘08.”
This is like getting dumped and going back 5 years later to find that the ex is on the street doing tricks.
Dodged a bullet we did.
