Conservative Fantasies: A World Never More Dangerous

“Over the last eight years the Bush administration has sacrificed American lives, resources, and influence at every turn. President George W. Bush, with the avid support of Sen. John McCain and most of the Republican Party, took the US into an unnecessary war in Iraq, increased the number of America’s enemies and the threat of terrorism, strengthened the Iranian regime, and sacrificed US clout with friends and foes alike. Yet polls indicate that more Americans trust Sen. McCain than Sen. Barack Obama as military commander-in-chief.”

“It’s a bizarre conclusion. Sen. McCain is temperamental, sanctimonious, and moralistic; surprisingly ignorant about the nuances of international affairs, he believes that he knows far more about foreign policy than he actually does. It would be a combustible combination even if he hadn’t variously advocated war against the Bosnian Serbs, Serbia, Iraq, and North Korea, as well as promoted confrontation with Russia, a nuclear-armed power. He could prove to be the most dangerous occupant ever of the White House.”
