McCain: Time to 'pull the trigger' with Iran [Title differs from article quote]
WJLA-TV 7 ABC Virginia ^ | 2010-04-14

Washington - Senator John McCain says the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while that country moves ever closer to having nuclear weapons.McCain opened a Senate hearing Wednesday by saying that Iran will get the bomb unless the United States acts more boldly.

Speaking figuratively, the Arizona Republican says the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but failing to "pull the trigger."

Sheesh...McCain can't even defend his own countrymen back in Arizona from gang bangers, drug smugglers, and criminal aliens, but he does want to attack Iran./p>

I remember thinking the USA would get Obama unless McCain acted boldly . He picked Sarah and we still got Obama .

I tend to agree with McCain on this. We should have taken out Iran a long time ago. In my opinion, President Bush should have declared war on Iran and invaded them (after a heavy bombing, perhaps nuclear, attack) before leaving office. Too bad he didn’t listen to VP Cheney on that one.

McCain is crazy. The biggest threat to this country comes from the invasion across our open borders and the hordes of illegals roaming across the country and establishing cells. But McCain wants amnesty.

One of my worst memories of the campaign was the numerous times when obama ripped mccain, and mccain just smiled. No defense. I'm screaming at my TV telling him how to defend himself. No defense. So he wants to defend the people of Arizona? Good luck!!

John!

Stop the BS!

This is NOTHING but a desperate attempt by McCain the RINO to pull the wool over Arizona primary voters one more time.

Just retire John,it's time.

John McDingDong should have ‘acted boldly’ in fighting Comrade 0bama in the ‘08 campaign, but his campaign was limp, just like he probably is. Even Bob Dole would have put up a bigger fight, Viagra or no Viagra.

A friend as “Am I crazey or did is X really happening”

My responce was “You may be crazey, but this isn’t evidence of it”

you can call McCain insane... but he is right about Iran.

is there any primary polls?

McCain has the RINOs circling the waggons.

Does he have a little battery fan ala charlie crist (see youtube) which he uses to keep him cool?

Not one " I am a patriot , you are not" sneers . I guess he used them all up in the primary .
