McCain's "Bomb Iran" Joke In Context

Think about the John McCain joke from last year, "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb Iran". It was horribly out of sync back then, now it seems decades off base.

Also, think about how during the elections and campaigns the conservatives railed against Obama and liberals for wanting to engage Iran. Now all the Republicans do is complain how Obama is not doing enough.

Yet another inconsistent, cynical, pure political move by the Right to score points. They have not respected the common people of Iran for years.

Thankfully the GOP's cartoon view of Iran is over. We now get to see the human element to this very complex situation. These are real people fighting a real struggle.

So true! Shame on Obama for not standing for freedom and supporting the people's struggle against a brutal, authoritarian regime. Iranian blood runs in the streets and on Obama's hands.
