John McCain has the nerve to lecture Barack Obama on bellicose language. The truth is that it's John McCain who has talked way too loudly about foreign crises without any stick at all.
First he champions invading Iraq with no plan for follow-through. He tries to threaten North Korea, only to watch them develop nuclear weapons anyway. Joking or not, his rhetoric certainly indicates he'd like to "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran," even though doing so preemptively would draw us into yet another Mideast war. And now, when Russia encroaches upon its neighbor, he promises Georgia's president full support--even though he's not yet President, and even though that means war with Russia. Russia.
Iraq, Iran, Russia...who doesn't John McCain threaten war with?
Oddly, the only country he's reluctant to take military action in is Pakistan--the one country we know Al Quaeda is hiding in.

McCain's hardline posture on Iran could be America's downfall. Read what Robert Baer said about that in an NPR interview.
