McCain's legacy
John McCain was absolutely right in a Republican 2000 Presidential election debate when asked why he was running against his own party and Senate leadership. Former Navy Captain John McCain said building more Supercarriers in Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's home state was not needed and just another wasteful boondoggle (military Keynesianism). McCain was assured the 2008 GOP Presidential nomination if would just shut up and back Baby Bush. Voters chose Bush cause he was viewed as an outsider and not part of the corrupt DC system.
By 2008, of course, the neocons were already into the 8th year of two perpetual wars. After losing the presidency in 2008, McCain spent his time lobbying and trying to organize a "troop surge" against the very Shi'ite forces that now apparently have driven the United States permanently out of the Persian Gulf, and exposed to the world the limits of America's military power, and the futility of relying on its diplomatic promises and security guarantees.
