McCain, liar in chief
Kevin Drum has his take on McCain’s latest lies:
Look, this isn’t complicated. During the cold war, the former USSR was “the world’s greatest land military power, with a massive strategic nuclear capacity that carried on a multi-decade ideological struggle” with the United States. Iran, meanwhile, has an economy the size of Finland’s, an annual defense budget of around $4.8 billion, and hasn’t invaded a country since the late 18th century.
Anyone who thinks the threat posed by modern-day Iran is similar, both in size and scope, to a former nuclear superpower is just blisteringly dumb. Kind of like the new McCain ad.
Iran is nothing. They’re a fly on a horse. They’re irrelevant militarily, though important sociopolitically. McCain is little more than a war-monger whose natural reaction is to blow stuff up.
