Is there anybody John McCain does not want us to invade?

Of course he was for Afghanistan and Iraq, and also Iran, Libya, Egypt and Somalia. Now he wants the President to sent the navy into the Black Sea and confront the Russians! Didn't they teach history at Annapolis? I knew by the end of the eighth grade what happens when you invade Russia during the winter.

When did it become our job to attack every foreign dictator who crosses the wrong border? With the Republicans refusing to raise taxes how can we afford this kind of wasteful exercise? I know McCain crashed four jets in his naval career, but didn't anybody tell him how much those things cost?

Seriously, though, can we all write, email or telephone this man's office and tell him to shut the Falling Under Carnal Knowledge up? Our armed forces are depleted and exhausted from the longest war in our history and we simply can't afford to invade the entire world. Let the European Union deal with this one.

Update:

Yes, "Liberals," he has advocated sending the navy into the Black Sea. He did that this morning. If you can't be bothered checking before you make snide comments you lose any credibility.

    I don't think calling or writing McCain's office will change his mind.

    From what I've read of the man, he's just extremely militaristic. He's the son of a Navy admiral and was raised to believe strongly in the virtues of righteous war. And he does seem to keep calling for the US to start new wars, or join existing ones, in nation after nation.

    McCain has some real virtues, despite all of this. But he seems to be perpetually looking for a fight the US military can join.

    I agree that McCain is a war monger and I am so glad that he wasn't elected president. I saw his posturing for war on this morning news and it is scary. There are many things we can do to >>starve the beast <<. War should always be the last resort.. when everything has been exhausted.

    Do you have actual examples of him saying that we should invade? Or is this yet another in a long line of thinks that liberal make up then ignore that no one actually said it?
