Peace with Iran Could Limit Ability to Bomb It, Warns McCain

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Shortly after world powers successfully negotiated a nuclear-framework agreement with Iran, Sen. John McCain warned that a lasting peace with the Middle Eastern nation could greatly limit our ability to bomb it.
President Obama is hailing this framework as something that could enhance the prospects for peace in the Middle East, McCain told reporters at the United States Senate. For those of us who have looked forward to bombing Iran for some time now, that would be a doomsday scenario.

actually saying it. Always the mark of great satire, and Borowitz is a gem.
