I believe McCain could be steamrolled into bombing Iran. The so-called military industrial complex is in high clover right now. They won't be pushed back into the background very easily.

Perhaps, but I read quite a bit of speculation, including on this thread, that it was inevitable that Bush was going to bomb Iran before he left office. I didnt believe it would happen when the speculation began and I still dont believe it now. I guess there is still ten months to go to find out if I am right.

Kate,. if you look at the incident of his gaffe about Iran training AQ" and he correcting his statement after Lieberman whispered in h is years, does it not show his side of the personality that Americans want to see? Not some sort of a packaged candidate, a person who is not crafty etc.

Particularly after the experience of the packaged GW in the 2004 debates. I think both Obama and McCain fit the expectations of the US voter.

What is the so-called military industrial complex and what fraction of 1% of the economy do think has the influence to cause military action. Far more dangerous in creating death of millions of folks is the carbon credit hoax complex that is the darling of the scientifically ignorant. All the current candidates are conned by the carbon credit hoax complex.
