Is McCain a bomb first ask questions later guy?
"Learning the lessons of September 11 will require asking hard questions. It will require digging deep into the resources of the full range of Government agencies. It will demand objective judgment into what went wrong, what we did right, and what else we need to do to deter and defeat depraved assaults by our enemies in the future. "
Nov 13, 2002 from John McCain

This statement was made a full 18 months before the 9/11 commission report was published....and it's a fair assessment. There were failures in the federal intelligence systems that resulted in information not circulating to the right people and departments because each agency had been embodied with a virtual cloak of silence vis-a-vis other agencies by Clinton administration directives.
Further, this statement was made in context of the debate of forming the Department of Homeland Security which was approved on Nov 25, 2002.
So, next time when you quote someone, do it in the proper context.

what? No he isn't. You are asking this question of a man who had every bone broken during his 5 1/2 years as a POW? Of course this man doesn't want another war but he does want to make damn sure we aren't *hit* again!

Yes he is.
That was 6 years ago. Why don't you post something he's said recently?
No need. Everybody's heard what he has to say on the subject during the debates.

I don't think so. I don't think many people exist within the military structure any more.
