McCain Forgets North Korea
Does the Middle East have some sort of sick sex appeal when it comes to pompous militaristic bloviating by republicans? This is what Senator John McCain has to say about American Security Threats:
“The greatest single threat that we are facing right now to our national security is Iran,” he said. “If they get that weapon, and they have the capability to deliver it, put yourself in the position of the government of the state of Israel. This could be one of the most unsettling and difficult challenges that we have ever faced.”
Senator John McCain seems to forget that unlike Iran, North Korea likely is in possesion of at least one nuclear weapon. Moreover, North Korea is ruled by a maniac dictator that has shown previous indifference to starving his entire country.
Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Its government appears to want them, but unless our ally Pakistan gave them a couple, they don’t have any at this point.
So who is the larger threat to America?
Although the mad man in PRNK has shown restraint in what he does to his own people, he has shown quite a bit of interest in keeping China from stalling their shipments of food, weapons, and money. At this point in time with China’s will to increase their power around the globe supporting a regime using nuclear weapons is not something they would do. Kim Jong-Il knows this.
China has North Korea under control. McCain has the experience and knowledge to lead America in the right direction; and he shows that by fully understanding and spekaing to the threat that Iran poses. And they do pose a threat… you don’t have to be Republican or Democrat to know that. Even the stupid people understand the sickening rhetoric of an Evil Iranian president should be taken seriously.
