Yea, this just makes me dislike this guy more:
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.”
This from the guy who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years.

His comments concerning future wars is only one small piece of his unrealistic views. I think the war comment was only to pander to those who are concerned with future terrorist attacks here and abroad. I am John McCain and look how tough I am.
His positions on illegal immigration are are even worse. We will have 12 or 20 million more illegal immigrants if he wins the presidency (which I doubt). He says “I heard you, close the border”. That’s as far as he will go on the campaign trail. I believe he said on Meet the Press, that he would still sign the McCain/Kennedy Amnesty Bill.
An argument from many repubs. including some who claim to be conservative, he will appoint conservative judges to the supreme court., as 4 are in the area of 70 years old. With his statements concerning Alito as reported in the Wall Stree Journal at that time, he thought he “wore his conservatism on his sleeve”.
Should he win the presidency, he will turn even more sharply to the left- then we can say bye bye to the GOP even more so than where G. W. has taken us.
