how would johnny mccain have handled the christmas terror attempt were he president?

[spanone]

what would palin have done/said?

would we have invaded yemen by now?

i suspect they wouldn't have done a single thing different...

[LiberalAndProud]

1. I don't know, what would Cheney want them to do?

I"m glad we don't have to find out.

[HBravo]

4. Amen to that.

[spanone]

15. a m e n

[timeforpeace]

28. You know the old saying, "it wouldn't have happened if our guy was Prez!!!11!1

[Greenpeach]

2. Bomb, bomb, bomb...

We would have already bomb, bomb, bombed Iran...just one more opportunity, frosting on the bloody cake.

[lunatica]

9. I think you hit the nail on the head

There would be absolutely no attempt to end this war on 'terror'. On the contrary McCain would go after as many oil rich countries as he could. Probably including Venezuela.

[timeforpeace]

29. Instead of cruise missles. He probably doesn't even know we've upgraded to missles over bombs.

[yourout]

3. Glad we will never know.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Maybe not Yemen.

If it was determined that the plot was hatched in Yemen, and if McCain/Palin were to follow in Bush/Cheney's footsteps, I assume the next step would be to invade Bolivia. Or maybe Finland.

[blondeatlast]

They would have done something differently--they would have been drumming up hatred and fear

at every opportunity.

You underestimate McCain--he's my Senator and he is a nasty, CLEVER, lowlife scum.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. He would have found a way to crash the plane.

Oh, wait, you said as president and I was thinking as a pilot.
:evilgrin:

[Parker CA]

7. Terror alert level on crimson red. Full war on Yemen. Palin all over the TV calling for prayer.

[tomg]

8. I don't know, but you

can bet it would be something completely fucked up - either bombing Amsterdam or making us wear our underwear on the outside.

[wtmusic]

10. Blamed it on Democrats in Congress

if that's "handling" it

[treestar]

11. Agreeing with profiling people for being Muslims

And nonwhite.

More restrictions on immigrants and visitors, more demonizing of people for the crime of not being American, more punishing people for being of the same ethnicity or nationality of the attacker - putting Nigerian immigrants on the watch list or registration for all Nigerians in the U.S.

I don't see attacks on Yemen, unless it has oil.

Nigeria has oil, so it would be the focus.

[madokie]

12. I suspect that johnny boy and sister sarah

woulda' done wiped Yemen off the map shortly thereafter.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. We'd have troops in By Gawd Jakarta right By Gawd Now, I tell By Gawd Ya.

..... huh?

..... not Jakarta?

..... ya sure?

[blondeatlast]

18. +1. nt

[Jim__]

14. He would have blamed it on Obama - n/t

[Don Caballero]

16. Great question. Precisely why the Obama haters here have no foot to stand on

The adults are in charge now making adult decisions. If McCain were in office we would be in Iran now.

[Oregone]

17. He would of had more aggressive rhetoric aimed at pleasing his base

In terms of policy, he would of done as he is told, along with any other president

[thotzRthingz]

19. re: "how would johnny mccain have handled the christmas terror attempt were he president?"

IMO: like BUSH (invading Iraq, following 9/11)... I think McLUZR would have pulled some sort of propagandized MISdirection. For example; he might have declared war on IRAN or N.KOREA (I think that we all know he really wanted to do that anyway).

[dkf]

20. I read the administration may be preparing us for war in Yemen

Don't assume things yet

[stray cat]

21. Why would they do anything differently - It was handled ok after the fact

[HopeHoops]

22. Same as BushCo - BOMB IRAN!

Iran had nothing to do with the crotch bomber, so it is OBVIOUSLY the target.

[FormerDittoHead]

23. Cut capital gains taxes, eliminate inheritance taxes and eliminate the EPA.

As long as the rich have to pay taxes, the terrorists win!

[spanone]

24. that's it'!!!!!111 mccain would have cut taxes..

winner!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[IndianaGreen]

25. The only difference is that McCain would have bombed Iran in 2009

while Obama would do it in 2010.

[spanone]

27. Obama has given no indication he intends to bomb iran.

:shrug:

[timeforpeace]

30. Finally an adult president who doesn't give a heads up every time he bombs someone.

[cherokeeprogressive]

26. There is only one reasonable, intellectually honest answer to that question in every form it's asked

There is no possible way of knowing to a certainty. None.

[MilesColtrane]

31. Mandatory TSA hands feeling your taint if you want to fly.

No Fly List expanded to everyone with an Arabic/Muslim name.

People banned from boarding if they are a little too dark skinned.

Attack on Iran.

[bigwillq]

32. Who knows.

He's not president. We will never know. End of story.
