A McCAIN MOMENT...
This story is also a devastating blow to the War Party and its plans for an all-out attack on Iraq.
To understand why, we have only to listen to Senator John McCain – the most belligerent and tireless of the warmongers – going up against a skeptical Chris Matthews, who wanted to know if the Senator thought we should conquer Iraq and set up a military occupation.
McCain looked pained, and replied: 'I don't pretend to prescribe the exact strategy.' Scott McConnell captured this McCain Moment well in a column for Antiwar.com:
'Then he fell back to what he believed to be his Maginot Line, the argument that trumps all arguments.
My nightmare–I have several nightmares about Saddam Hussein, but one of them is the that SCUD missile which he has . . that's in the view of most, aimed at Israel. Aimed at Israel.'
Well then, said Matthews, why doesn't Israel take them out?
McCain, stunned, hemmed and hawed for a moment, and finally said:
'Because I'm not sure we should ask the Israelis to do – to take care of a threat to the United States of America.'
Matthews: 'But you just said it was a threat to Israel.'
McCain: 'Well to world peace, I think.'
Matthews: 'No you said it was a threat to Israel. Why should the United States deal with a threat to Israel? Why don't we let Israel – we've been giving them $3 billion a year to defend themselves. Why don't we say, Defend yourselves. You've got a clear fight. Go take Saddam out?''
McCain: 'Because I think it's our job. I think we're the world's leader and I. . .'
Matthews: 'Our job is to defend Israel?'
Equating our 'national interest' with the defense of Israel, McCain's answer was, essentially, yes. But no one said this was a mutual defense pact.
Israel wants us to defend them: yet who, pray tell, will defend us from the Israelis?
