Do you know what you are talking about? You ask this rhetorical question "Would he seek to overthrow an elected Iranian leader in 1953, only later to regret it?" McCain was born in 1936. That means in 1953 he would have been 17. I don't think 17 year old John McCain was setting US Foreign policy.

I'm not going to go into the whole history of Iran, lets just say there was a LOT more too it than the kindergarden version "overthrow and elected leader" rap. That's pure leftist spin, surprised to see it trotted out here on Free Republic without qualification.

The same might hold true for Pinochet, I think he was in the Vietnamese POW camp when a lot of those events went down.

I'm not a huge McCain fan, but lets not lower ourselves to leftist ranting and innuendo.

I was arguing that if McCain had lived at those times and (it was implied) that had he been old enough, would he have supported the 1953 “coup”, supported Pinochet, supported Saddam, only later to have regreted it?

Let me make it slow for you, then. It... was... HYPOTHETICAL.

But keep shilling for McCain and the GOP-e and hiding it behind your posts...
