Terrorists in the Whitehouse

Harvey Wasserman over at Counterpunch has an entry eviscerating the heinous legacy of Westmoreland, LBJ and Nixon as the true terrorists of the 1960s. He should have also mentioned that McCain is the direct descendant of this loathsome threesome. McCain takes great pride in his glory boy role of bombing Vietnam back to the stoneage. As his demonic refrain of "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" demonstrates he can't wait to continue where his mentors left off.



Why McCain is portrayed as an heroic figure is beyond me. His treatment as a POW compares favorably with how we treat enemy combatants at Gitmo. He deserved far worse. Imagine if we captured a maurauding terrorist who bombed and straffed Peoria or Topeka, inflicting massive civilian casualtes and destroying our societal infratructure. To have this war criminal lauded as a hero makes me want to puke.
