McCain's Economic Plan - Battle "Radical Islamic Extremism"?

[Median Democrat]

From the you can't even make this up category. I have not seen this previously posted, but here is an interview with John McCain regarding the economy. However, McCain has some difficulty switching gears, as you will see. I guess the solution to the mortgage crisis would then be to bomb Iran:

Fortune: There's been a lot of bad economic news lately. On Friday we got a lot of bad economic numbers. The stock market took a big dive. It seems pretty clear that the country's facing grave economic challenges right now. But I'd like you to look a little further down the road, to when you're in the Oval Office - what do you see as the gravest long-term threat to the U.S. economy?

McCain: Well, I would think that the absolute gravest threat is the struggle that we're in against radical Islamic extremism, which can affect, if they prevail, our very existence. Another attack on the United States of America - another successful attack on the United States of America - could have devastating consequences. Now having said that, I would say that at this moment it's probably our dependence on foreign oil that is one of the major factors that's harming our economy dramatically, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, or shall I say, affecting our climate and hurting fixed-income Americans the most. Finally is the issue of affordable and available health care for all Americans.

....build up for more wars, get blood to trickle down and flood the lower 80% in a sea of blood. We should all be happy with that, eh!
