Daily Irony; McCain On Russia Invading Georgia

Poor John McCain, the guy just can't catch a break.

In yet another foreign policy campaign hiccup, McCain held a press conference to comment on the Russian invasion of Georgia. During his opening statement McCain, completely void of short term memory, said that "in the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations".

We pause as we insert this moment of awkward silence, a wiggle in our collective chairs and, finally, we'll come up for air.

Resume reading.

The United States currently occupies two countries after invading them both. The suggestion by a US Presidential candidate that this is unacceptable for the rest of the world is arrogant and beyond absurd.

Choose your game and play it, Senator. You can't change the rules at halftime, or cry foul if the other guy employs your same strategery.

Our electorate should have dire concern over McCain's alleged strength of foreign policy. He's already demonstrated he can't discern Sunni's from Shiite's, and he strategically commented on securing the "border" of Iraq and Pakistan as part of his war plan.

The problem is that the "border" between Iraq and Pakistan is a big one.

It's a country called Iran.

This war plan might take more than your previously stated 100 years, Johnny Boy.
