This was washed over due to most of the day’s events, but it’s worth paying attention to: Arizona’s own Sen. John McCain stated that he believes the United States should take down the next test missile that North Korea launches, as soon as it leaves their airspace.

From the Senator’s office:

As the world waits to see whether North Korea will act on its threat to test launch a medium-range ballistic missile, I maintain that the United States should treat any North Korean missile launch as a threat to our national security and our allies, and that we should shoot it down once it leaves North Korean airspace. North Korea’s leaders should have no doubt that the United States of America has both the capability and the will to eliminate the threats they seek to pose to international peace and stability.

As anyone who is paying attention would note, McCain has held a hard-line position against North Korea, saying that Kim Jong Un is “a clown” and “a fool”; that China needs to buckle North Korea’s economy if Kim continues to develop the country’s nuclear program; and was quoted after Kim Jong Il’s death, “I can only express satisfaction that the Dear Leader is joining the likes of Gaddafi, Bin Laden, Hitler, and Stalin in a warm corner of hell.”

  2. John McCain is out of his mind. He’s trying to promote illegal immigration for the purpose of generating cannon fodder too.

  4. As if that POS Ray-gun era DOD boondoggle COULD shoot down a missile…fat chance!

    The bullcrap “patriot” missiles caused more casualties on the ground in Gulf Slaughter One when they landed than the SCUDs they missed would have…

    And the only time the phony missile defense tests ever “work” is when they set it up by crippling the incoming so that the intercepting missile can’t miss…

  5. McCain should be a little more charitable…

    As he will soon join his fellow war criminals in that same warm corner…

  6. Hell yeah.. get ‘r done. Enuff of North Korea threatening anyone.. time to make that the Parking lot for South Korea.

  8. A great man once said..

    “That’s all right. These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one. You know, you gotta stop them at the beginning. Like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, they should never let him get away with that, they was just asking for trouble. “

  9. Never heard of Peter Clemenza. I would have guessed it was something John Wayne or John McCain might have said. Both live(d) in a make-believe world. Real wars never end cleanly like they do in the movies. If they did, we would have solved the Korean problem nearly 50 years ago. But now, McCain sounds as crazy as the N. Korean leader or some of the other people leaving comments here.
