McCain Needs A Little STFU And A History Lesson

A little context to John McCain, serving as de-facto hawkish Republican critic, and his call to Obama to do more in Iran via Time's Joe Klein:
"You don't need to do this. You know? You know what you're doing is a self-indulgent at this point. Sen. McCain, if he's going to talk about this, should also talk about the fact that the United States supported Saddam Hussein in the Iran/Iraq war for eight years. Every one of those protesters out in the streets, every last one of them believes the United States supplied Saddam Hussein with the poison gas that has debilitated tens of thousands of Iranian men."
These facts and histories are of no use to the McCain's of the world. The same people who did not like dissent against the completely inept George Bush, now are the biggest supporters of it against Obama.

Elections do have consequences. You lost.
