Another man — wondering if an attack on Iran is in the works — wanted to know when America is going to “send an air mail message to Tehran.”
McCain began his answer by changing the words to a popular Beach Boys song.
“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,” he sang to the tune of Barbara Ann. “Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That alone should concern us but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the President when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.”
He stopped short of answering the actual question and did not say if he supports an invasion of Iran.
Listen, we all understand his sentiment. But you can't make light of this stuff in this way. Perhaps at some shtick press lampooning session but not in the public spotlight in serious discussion. Yikes!
That's gonna follow him around.
Here's another greatest hit of McCain (this one is funny and in the right setting)
The joke was about as appropriate as joking about the electric chair during a death penalty trial. The statement seems unnecessarily flippant about war. I think it is very inflammatory to people around the world who already think we are a warmongers.
