Perhaps since Sen McConnel failed to complete even two months of is military service he would volunteer to ride shotgun with Sen McCain in the lead aircraft.
We continue to tie our fate to that of Israel. It is to be noted that prior to the formation of Israel and the unconditional blinders-on support of the US government for Israel, the USA had no serious problems with Arabs in the Middle East - or Moslems anywhere.
While I agree with you to a point it must be said that prior to the formation of Israel, most of the Arab world lived in tents and rode horses into battle.
Faulty CIA findings caused a lot of Republicans and Democrats to vote to invade Iraq. We had witnessed the leader of Iraq use WMD (gas) to slaughter an entire village of Kurdish people (men, women, and children). There was no question that he possessed them, we just didn't know by the CIA intelligence the amount. Shortly after we began the attack on Iraq, a convoy of trucks left Iraq and went into Syria. Some believe that is what happened to the WMD, I don't know. At any rate, it is easy to judge using hindsight. Don't forget that Democrats voted to go into Iraq, as well. Have a great day.
RobAla, in the summer of 2006 a poll was released, 70% of Americans thought Sadam was behind 9/11, where did they get this idea? 17 of the 19 hijackers were saudi, a repub and dem senators have come forward now saying saudi role has never been explained, when pearl harbor was attacked FDR declared war on japan not peru another pacific nation??? have a good day!!
Just like Iraq (before the invasion) Iran lacks a delivery system capable of hurting the U.S. even if they DO develop nuclear weapons (it would probably be an atomic bomb - hydrogen bombs are much harder to make).
Let's let their neighbors - you know, the ones who already have nuclear weapons and delivery systems at their disposal - deal with them. The U.S. has NO vested or security interests in the doings of Iran inside its own borders.
It's hard to believe the people of Kentucky could send a clown like this to Washington. He can find money to attack other countries but can't seem to find enough money to repair the bridges at home.
It's politicians like McConnell that's the main reason why these small nations are seeking to arm themselves with nuclear weapons. What other security do they have against nuclear armed bullies if they themselves aren't nuclear armed? No one is going to threaten North Korea with military force in the future because they're nuclear bombs. We would not be hearing all of this war talk about preemptive strikes against Iran if Iran had nuclear weapons. Politicians like McConnell loves war. He probably gets of on sending other people young kids of to some hell hole to die.
No surprise that it's the GOP itching to start a third war. That seems to be their answer to everything. And why should they be whining about Obama's foreign policy regarding Israel? He's ready to dive into war right along with them. In fact, I don't know why they're fielding candidates to run against him, since he's more one of them than a Democrat.
As to Israel, it's never been "the master of its fate." It's always hidden behind the United States' skirts.
another dufus. if iran is such a threat, why isn't the arab league bombing the daylights out of iran? saudi arabia isn't sending its troops or military forces against iran or syria or egypt. syria, egypt, libya are all a mess as is iraq and afghanistan. mcconnell is like mccain, very eager to send others to die, to be wounded, to be maimed and of course to spend billions the USA needs to spend on its own citizens and infrastructure. people are nuts to volunteer for military service with people like this one who influence war decisions. people in the USA military are not defending American freedoms or dying for the USA but for afghans, iraqis, and whoever else. the all volunteer military are serving at the whim of people like mcconnell, mccain, and the sitting potus whoever it happens to be at any given moment.
McConnell reported for his six months of active service, primarily for training, in July 1967. After induction at Fort Knox, Kentucky, McConnell was released early from his active-duty military service in August 1967.
--- He only served a month of RESERVE training.
