Default McCain Met Dictator without Preconditions

John McCain, who has harshly criticized the idea of sitting down with
dictators without pre-conditions, appears to have done just that. In 1985,
McCain traveled to Chile for a friendly meeting with Chile's military
ruler .....



Whoopee. 23 years ago. Wow.
Things have changed a bit.

Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel, huh?

Not quite as far back as when Ayers was active...you know, when Obama
was eight or nine years old, eh?

You know, if we hadn't been so chummy with right-wing dictators in the
20th Century, we might not have have had so many problems in places like
Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Chile, Nicaragua, Cuba, et cetera.

I'm watching McCain at the moment give a speech in Colorado. The man
ought to be opting for a rocking chair...he looks old, sounds old, has
no ideas and repeats the same old crap that isn't working for him. He
just brought up the Cuban Missile Crisis with no context.
