McCain = more wars?

McCain win would mean war with Iran

Presidential candidate John McCain shocked observers on Sunday when he told a crowd of supporters, "There's going to be other wars. ... I'm sorry to tell you, there's going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars."

Pat Buchanan: ""That's one of the things that makes me very nervous about him," Buchanan went on.
"There's no doubt John McCain is going to be a war president. ... His whole career is wrapped up in the military, national security. He's in Putin's face, he's threatening the Iranians, we're going to be in Iraq a hundred years."

i do think on this point Buchanan is right. I do not like the idea of McCain in office.

Honestly, I think if we don't get out of Iraq soon, we won't be able to afford to bring them home.

You're right he did mention other wars and also said that we would be in Iraq for 100 or 10.000 years. It didn't matter to him.

What he has said is not any different than what Romney and Huckabee have promised.

I think there will always be war. There always has been and always will be.

Just because the Democrats (or certain Republicans) say they're not going to war or they're going to get the troops out doesn't mean they're do what they say. History and events have a way of changing ideas, sad to say.

I do believe Ron Paul when he says he will bring the troops home. That is were a huge part of the American money is going.. over $1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000.00) a year spent overseas.

This information was releasesd but buried in most news media.
According to the latest FEC reports these are the total number and amount of military donations for each of the presidential candidates. Dr. Paul’s total military donations of $249 thousand are almost as much as the $260 thousand of combined donations received by the other five remaining candidates.



Ron Paul: 1160 $249k
John McCain: 438 $83k
Mike Huckabee: 126 $37k
Mitt Romney: 126 $24k
Barack Obama: 443 $76k
Hillary Clinton: 154 $41k
