McCain's Support of War Looms as Barrier to Presidential Hopes
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=washingtonstory&sid=aJU7eEziIYmU

Hmmm.... snip

``I do understand it could be a political liability,'' the 69-year-old Arizona senator said in an interview. While he said he is ``a bit resentful'' of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ``for the way the war has been poorly handled,'' McCain added, ``I still think we've got to win the war.''

Between you and I...

It is dead wrong for the generals to come out like they have... you don't do that, period.

Did they even consider what this would do to the morale of the troops?
Did care for their troops come off with the uniform?

My John McCain (up close and personal) story, from the 2000 South Carolina Primary.

Greenville SC - the 2000 Presidential primary - John McCain had just beaten ‘W’ in the NH primary and the “Straight Talk Express” rolled into South Carolina.

I was a McCain supporter - positive that he was the real deal.

I drove to a McCain speech and public appearance. It was a day I will never forget as long as I live.

That day I witnessed John McCain behave unlike any appearance I had ever seen on TV - the man was unhinged.

After a 15 minute canned speech - he decided to address his competition in the primary - George W. Bush. He did so by beginning with, “I am Luke Skywalker, and my opponents are members of the Empire. Together we will form the rebellion and defeat Darth Vadar”. He yelled this - first pumping - his voice full of anger - his face - beet red - and his eyes - well - they were scary.

The crowd instantly went from supportive - to bewildered.

He obviously didn’t pick up on the mood change - because he went on for another 5 minutes - ranting and raving about how everyone was lying about his record - his views - and he, “wasn’t going to take it any more” (remember the movie Network).

It was surreal.

When he finished - and with the prodding of an aid - he left the stage, while we in the crowd just stood there - stunned - and honestly - completely confused.

I asked a woman next to me: “what the hell just happened?” She answered: “that man is freaking nuts!”

I came home - walked in the house - sat on the couch and just looked at the wall. I suddenly realized - the man pushed on television - was not the man at all.

I have told this story many times - to many people - and I have heard the same story told back to me by others who have seen similar John McCain episodes.

I am not given to criticize anyone lightly ladies and gentlemen.

I am sure John McCain is a good man - but listen to me - and please believe me.

JOHN MCCAIN is NOT FIT TO LEAD THIS NATION.

John McCain is unstable. John McCain is freaking nuts!

So that's why he always has that pained expression on his face. And all this time I thought it was because his shirt collar was too tight.

I might be in the minority here but I think that China prez needs a bit of yelling at.
The way they treat their poor is an abomination. And if thats the only way she could show her outrage, more power to her.
If she did that in China, she'd probaly be executed.

I have seen some stories about how the government is taking property from people, and leaving them with nothing.

Frankly that guy doesn't deserve to step foot in the White House.

Hell, ever heard of the Three Gorges Dam? The sunk thousands of years of history in that bit of eminent domain. People who had been living in their ancestors homes, going back hundreds of years were displaced. Imagine getting kicked out of the home that your Great grandmother x 10 was BORN in?

China is inhumane and that is just the tip of that nasty brown iceberg. Think they will hesitate even slightly to screw the USA if it benefits them? Exactly.

Communism has long honored the Keloe vs. New London decision...even before the Supreme Court decided to copy the Communists!...

Still, China is important right now. That's the ONE country that could, if it wanted, help us stop the Chinese. I think the Russians don't like Iran so close, but they're playing off the Chinese. So we've got other fish to fry with the Chinese.

"Ahmadinejad's Demons"

(Believe it or not)
This New Republic piece by Matthias Kuntzel is a chilling must-read for anyone attempting to understand the threat that is growing in Iran.

The article describes in detail the "Basiji, a mass movement created by Khomeini in 1979," and deployed in horrific fashion throughout the Iran-Iraq war:

When their training was done, each Basiji received a blood-red headband that designated him a volunteer for martyrdom. According to Sepehr Zabih's The Iranian Military in Revolution and War, such volunteers made up nearly one-third of the Iranian army--and the majority of its infantry.

The chief combat tactic employed by the Basiji was the human wave attack, whereby barely armed children and teenagers would move continuously toward the enemy in perfectly straight rows. It did not matter whether they fell to enemy fire or detonated the mines with their bodies: The important thing was that the Basiji continue to move forward over the torn and mutilated remains of their fallen comrades, going to their deaths in wave after wave. Once a path to the Iraqi forces had been opened up, Iranian commanders would send in their more valuable and skilled Revolutionary Guard troops.


The theology that motivates such sacrifices is detailed by Kuntzel, as is Ahmadinejad's relationship with the movement, a movement which is growing in numbers and influence:

Since Ahmadinejad became president, the influence of the Basiji has grown. In November, the new Iranian president opened the annual "Basiji Week," which commemorates the martyrs of the Iran-Iraq War. According to a report in Kayan, a publication loyal to Khameini, some nine million Basiji--12 percent of the Iranian population--turned out to demonstrate in favor of Ahmadinejad's anti-liberal platform. The article claimed that the demonstrators "form[ed] a human chain some 8,700 kilometers long. ... In Tehran alone, some 1,250,000 people turned out." Barely noticed by the Western media, this mobilization attests to Ahmadinejad's determination to impose his "second revolution" and to extinguish the few sparks of freedom in Iran.
At the end of July 2005, the Basij movement announced plans to increase its membership from ten million to 15 million by 2010.

One more excerpt:

The Basiji's cult of self-destruction would be chilling in any country. In the context of the Iranian nuclear program, however, its obsession with martyrdom amounts to a lit fuse. Nowadays, Basiji are sent not into the desert, but rather into the laboratory. Basij students are encouraged to enroll in technical and scientific disciplines. According to a spokesperson for the Revolutionary Guard, the aim is to use the "technical factor" in order to augment "national security."

What exactly does that mean? Consider that, in December 2001, former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani explained that "the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything." On the other hand, if Israel responded with its own nuclear weapons, it "will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality." Rafsanjani thus spelled out a macabre cost-benefit analysis. It might not be possible to destroy Israel without suffering retaliation. But, for Islam, the level of damage Israel could inflict is bearable--only 100,000 or so additional martyrs for Islam.

And Rafsanjani is a member of the moderate, pragmatic wing of the Iranian Revolution; he believes that any conflict ought to have a "worthwhile" outcome. Ahmadinejad, by contrast, is predisposed toward apocalyptic thinking.
