In the end McCain will fart away scarce military resources on sideshows. There are hotspots coming up all over the world right now, very few of which are of any strategic importance to us. An examination of his record in government will reveal he has no real vision of how to fight terrorism, where even to lead the country nor how to prioritize. (The only pattern that does emerge is of a narcissitic, crotchety coot masquerading as a serious leader.) The advantage of having someone who's clearly a rookie is that everyone knows he is and no one's embracing false hope. With McCain RINO's and other pseudo-cons can continue to operate under the delusion that because he's got an R after his name, he knows the duties of the Commander-in-Chief.
You’re probably right.
