Talk:Aircraft carrier
The largest AC of the world are not NZ-class, the largets one is USS enterprise
- Nimitz-class are the largest in the world. All ten are of extremely similar dimensions. --Hojimachongtalk 20:36, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
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 in wars of the future and was just another example of a wasteful boondoggle (military Keynesianism). McCain was assured the 2008 GOP Presidential nomination if he 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 ground "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 America's diplomatic promises and security guarantees.
