CAVEAT CAVEAT LECTOR!! I have no idea of the validity of this information,
as it seems to be in the realm of subjective opinion, and political
axe-grinding. It is a flip, dark side of the McCoin, and seems
counter-intuitive. Comments? ;)

JOHN McCAIN, PSYCHOTIC WARMONGER//Includes forward below
Happy Valentine's Day--but if a Valentine comes from John McCain, author
Llewellyn Rockwell, Jr. says better call the bomb squad... if you even
have the time.
What we have here with McCain is America's answer to Russia's
death-dealing psychopath Putin--squared.
Rockwell details the horrifying elements of what passes for "foreign
policy" with John McCain; a policy which can best be summed up as KILL
as MANY PEOPLE as possible--noncombatant CIVILIANS, that is--in as SHORT
a time as possible if they even THINK about looking at him cross-eyed.
And if it was just an eye defect that caused the cross-eyed look, tough
luck: in McCain's book. You're STILL hamburger meat (details to follow).
In fact, you don't even need to look at him cross-eyed--he probably
wants to kill you anyway.
I must confess that though basically I heartily don't like McCain A LOT
already, I had NO idea his views on foreign policy and of what
constitutes a "reason" for plunging America into some massive, full-on,
no-holds-barred ground and air war (for instance, if McCain wakes up one
morning with a toothache, let's say), were so extraordinarily
imperialistic, insane and bloodthirsty; that this monster has in his
heart such a RAGING bloodlust for brutality, death, destruction,
dismemberment and devastation.
Apparently, if anything, all that brainwashing McCain received while a
prisoner in North Vietnam made this guy even MORE murderous and vicious
than when he was a pilot in a bomber group that SPECIFICALLY targeted
the noncombatant, defenseless civilian population of Vietnamese
villagers on a regular basis, causing more than ONE MILLION CIVILIAN
DEATHS AND INJURIES between 1965 and 1968.
McCain has no regrets about what he did in Vietnam and says he would
gladly do it all over again. This warmongering fascist demon in fact
says that he's real SAD we ever had to pull out of Vietnam, and that we
should have QUADRUPLED our efforts to utterly decimate that nation and
leave it a thrashed, destroyed, depopulated wasteland less congenial to
human or other life than the dark side of Pluto. (Not that the U.S.
didn't come pretty damn close this noble ideal anyway).
In fact, this is EXACTLY what McCain wants to do to Iraq (what's LEFT of
it, that is), Serbia, North Korea, Iran and I guess anywhere else in the
world where the people aren't white and talk English funny--including
Red China. In fact, let's put Vietnam on the list too!
McCain EXPLICITLY wants to draft VAST NUMBERS of America's young men
IMMEDIATELY and send them off to fight just about anywhere he jabs his
finger on the globe.
If this bloodthirsty lunatic ever got anywhere NEAR the Presidency he'd
make Clinton look like a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. And with
the volatile situations already existing with Putin at the helm in
Russia and a bunch of psychos running China, it would be like pouring
gasoline on nitroglycerin, shaking the mixture well, then napalm-bombing
the whole pile.
President McCain = World War 3. It's really that simple... AND that FINAL.

JOHN McCAIN, WARMONGER
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
How many people would vote for John McCain if they knew his
real agenda? It comes down to this: the military elite, working with
the president, should draft America's teens and send them to kill and
be killed in foreign lands so that US government can maintain a global
military hegemony utterly alien to traditional American ideals.
McCain is the candidate of perpetual war for the sake of perpetual
war. Against whom? Anyone: Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Serbia, and
China are on his radar screen for now, but anyone could be next. A
president like this-temperamentally maniacal and lusting for power - is
fully capable of plunging the US into a nuclear exchange just because
he got up on the wrong side of the bed.
McCain says that foreign policy is the reason he is running for
president. Hence, as awful as he is on domestic issues - he wants to
tax the tobacco industry to death and nationalize the electoral system
through campaign finance reform - his foreign policy views alone
implicate him as an enemy of freedom.
From his own words and speeches, it is clear that he is America's
Vladimir Putin, a man who was shaped by old unjust wars he still
defends, who identifies most closely not with civilians but with the
old-line members of the military and secret police, who believes in
mandatory national service leading to conscription, and is pleased to
work as a rabble rouser for the military-industrial complex, also
known as the merchants of death. That he has convictions, no one
can doubt. Whether those convictions are compatible with preserving
American lives and liberties is another question.
Consider what he thinks of as the "lesson of Vietnam." Not that we
shouldn't conscript America's youth and force them to become war
criminals against their will, raining down terror on foreign peoples who
never harmed them. Not that we should mind our own business, as
George Washington wisely suggested in his Farewell Address. Not that
we shouldn't undertake battles we can't win, while massacring innocents
in the process of trying.
No, McCain considers Vietnam's lesson to be that we need more,
longer, and bloodier wars to vanquish every enemy of the American political
class. Vietnam was a "noble cause," according to him, that was lost
because the US pulled out and didn't send more men to die as ground
troops. Oh yes,
and more B-52s and anything else the Pentagon happened to have lying
around should have been employed.
He says all this - well documented in the January 3, 2000, issue of
The Nation - in exactly the same spirit that Putin defends the KGB, the
secret police, and Soviet foreign policy in Afghanistan. McCain and
Putin-like despots of the ancient world - are defenders of the old order
of bloody
and cruel state control, and at a time when America and Russia have the
clear choice of freedom or empire.
McCain's recent rise to political fame came with Bill Clinton's
murderous attacks on the sovereign nation of Serbia, attacks that caused
the bulk of the refugee crisis, led to hundreds of civilian casualties,
blew up
billions of dollars of civilian infrastructure, and unleashed anti-American
protests all over the world. The executive-worshiping media were glad to
find that McCain was the critic of Clinton's actions who advocated more
death sooner. McCain blasted Clinton's "excessively restricted air campaign"
and the administration's refusal to send in ground troops. By the time he
was finished with weeks of round-the-clock interviews, McCain was making
Clinton look like a man of peace. That's just the kind of critic the
media like, one who makes Clinton seem prudent by comparison.
But couldn't Congress restrain a President McCain? No chance. He
doesn't believe in that, and Clinton has already shown how an executive
can attack another country without asking any elected official. But
couldn't other countries restrain him? No way. He doesn't believe in that
either. To his mind, the purpose of Nato and the UN is ratify US foreign
wars after the fact-an impulse that makes him even more dangerous than
Clinton.
Only a few years ago, he called for "forceful, coercive action"
against North Korea over a couple of faulty reports of that country's
nuclear capacity. On Iraq, he wants war, war, war, starting with a huge
increase in bombing, which, he says, has been "extremely limited." (Tell
that to the Iraqi mothers who lose children every day for lack of food,
medicine, and clean water.) On China, he warns of the country's
"increasingly aggressive role in the region." For now, McCain would
permit China to enter the WTO; tomorrow he may decide bloodshed is
needed to end the country's human rights abuses.
Speaking of human rights, it's true that he was a POW, probably the
only thing voters know about him. But what was he doing before he was
imprisoned? He was part of an aerial bombing squad that attacked rural
areas surrounding Hanoi, causing more than a million deaths and injuries
from 1965 to 1968. He flew 23 of those bombing missions, and he even
admits to bombing a power plant in "a heavily populated part of Hanoi."
Even today, he says of the killing: "nobody made me fly over Vietnam.
That's what I was trained to do and that's what I wanted to do."
During the Serbia carnage, McCain gave a speech which is ominous in
light of his preference for bloodshed over sober diplomacy. "The
terrible losses incurred in war were once an experience so intensely
personal that I will remember them all my life," he said. "There is not
a decision with greater meaning or that should be made with greater
reluctance than the president's decision to send Americans into
conflict. Whether their role is peacekeeper or combatant, they are going
into harm's way and some of them won't come home."
Folks, it is President McCain who will be in charge of whether
America's sons and daughters are in harm's way or "won't come home" at
all. He claims "reluctance," but his policies scream: draft them, turn
them into
killing machines, and get them killed. Why would anyone in these days of
relative peace and prosperity desire to make this man the most powerful
in the world, letting him fantasize alone in the White House with his
finger on the button?
