This shmuck is on NBC news show right now declaring with a straight face:

We are winning in Afghanistan , we are making dramatic gains. American President needs to commit to victory there and not talk about withdrawl.

He advocated Korea, Japana style permanent military bases in Afghanistan

He attacked Obama for not leading US into a military intervention in Syria against "the most brutal dictator on earth". He again talks up Iran threat, but luckily he didn't sing his infamous "bomb bomb Iran" jingle from his 2008 run.


I do not believe McCain is mentally ill. Only other logical question that I can think of is, does he get incentive commission or campaign contribution bonuses from some weapons industry or war loobies like aipac for every war he helps start/support?

In other words, is he a neocom plant of war lobbies almost like Obama?

Interestingly, Obama's biggest donor Goldman Sachs is number 5 on McCain donors list.
