*note the sarcasm* This isn’t news. Hasn’t been news for quite some time. Ever since the “Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran” sung to the tune of the Beach Boys “Barbara Ann” it’s been clear that McCain is openly willing to speak (sing?) his mind, and what’s often on his mind is fighting Iran. So now he’s made another off-handed quip…
When asked by a reporter to comment on how despite the U.S.’s apparent negative stance against Iran, our exports to Iran have increased tenfold with cigarettes as the #1 export, McCain had this to say- “Maybe that’s a way of killing them.” Which he then attempted to cover himself with the addendum, “I meant that as a joke, as a person who hasn’t had a cigarette in 28 years.”
Ah, well. That’s good. We need another president who makes offhanded comments about war, death, violence, and the like clearly painting the world as “us vs them”… it’s worked so well for us thus far.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate someone being candid and open about their views, too many politicians are scripted by committee (looking at you Barack) but I also don’t want another sociopathic cowboy fantasy dweller using his role in the White House as a way to drag us into another war that we can’t afford, or staff.
It was a joke, true, but it’s also quite revealing as a pattern of behavior, that’s just my opinion.
