quote: Fri Apr 20, 9:24 AM WASHINGTON (AFP) - Republican US presidential contender John McCain turned to popular music to illuminate the debate on the Middle East, singing at the suggestion that the United States "bomb, bomb, bomb" Iran.
"That old Beach Boys song, 'Bomb Iran'?" McCain said in response to a question about US policy on its diplomatic pariah at an electoral campaign meeting in the state of North Carolina. His questioner had struck an anti-Iran tone, asking him when the United States was going to "send an air mail message to Tehran," drawing cheers from the crowd.
McCain then briefly sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb" -- an adapted snippet of the rock 'n' roll band's refrain "Ba-ba-ba, Ba-Barbara Ann" -- winning laughter from the audience.
The performance was filmed and posted by users on the video-sharing website YouTube. One posting presented an edited version of the clip, with added photographs of children suffering from injuries cause by violence in Iraq.

quote: Cho came by his murderous rage somewhat honestly. He was certifiably psychotic, a one time patient in a psychiatric hospital. What is McCain's excuse for openly expressing his murderous fantasies in song?The silence surrounding the McCain call to bloodlust was deafening. The big campaign news that day was the cost of John Edwards' haircuts, not a psychotic call to kill from another candidate.The pundits and the politicians all agreed that Cho was evil, demonic, diabolical. If so, he was no worse than George W. Bush. What is the occupation of Iraq if not evil? Four years ago, Uncle Sam began a violent spree that resulted in more than 600,000 dead. As the American people make it clear that they want the U.S. out, politicians like McCain are more determined than ever to stay and keep up the body count. The desire to leave Bush's quagmire behind is not necessarily the result of moral outrage. Instead there is frustration that Iraqis won't clean up America's mess more quickly, or anger about the loss of American lives. McCain has plenty of company among the American people.
MCCain's bloodlust and the media free-ride
