The presidential candidate who sang "Bomb bomb Iran" is already looking towards the war after the war
in Iraq.

Sen. John McCain told a crowd of supporters on Sunday, "It's a tough war we're in. It's not going to be
over right away. There's going to be other wars." Offering more of his increasingly bleak "straight talk,"
he repeated the claim: "I'm sorry to tell you, there's going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars."

McCain did not elaborate who the United States would be fighting. But he did warn the crowd to be
ready for the ramifications of current and future battles.

"And right now - we're gonna have a lot of PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder] to treat, my friends,"
he said. "We're gonna have a lot of combat wounds that have to do with these terrible explosive IEDs
that inflict such severe wounds. And my friends, it's gonna be tough, we're gonna have a lot to do."

The remarks underscore a growing effort on McCain's behalf to keep the political discussion centered on foreign affairs (his strong suit) and not the economy (an admitted weakness). They also reflect a take of America's military policy that is heavily weighted towards combat. Earlier on the campaign trail, McCain posited that U.S. forces could be in Iraq for the next 100 years.

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would want to vote for McCain. Not only does the guy admit he doesn't know a thing about economics, the guy is nuts.

We would be in war with Iran in the first six months of his administration if he was President, probably other countries, too. What an senile, crazy nutjob.

Nice picture, he looks really nutty in that one!
