McCain Wants a Terrorist Attack

June 23, 2008

McCain wants a terrorist attack to win the White House this fall. His best showing politically is as a “war leader” able to protect the United States from evil-doers. Right now terrorism is not at the forefront of the campaign or the in the minds of Americans. McCain knows this and wants a terrorist attack for political purposes.

His political advisor, Charlie Black told an interviewer for Fortune Magazine recently that a terrorist attack would give his boss, McCain, "a big advantage" and said "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him…” if an attack occurred.

This points out the McCain strategy of fear and their intent to make the most out of every event related to terrorism, real or imagined. This is the same tactic Bush has used these past 6 plus years. So if McCain were elected, it would be more of the same.

McCain's fear politics will work for conservatives and religionists who are easily intimidated and base their lives on fear. But for most Americans it is just part of the political background noise... just more bullshit from a Republican candidate who wants to win at all costs.

Charlie Black is bad for McCain but realistically McCain needs such a person to keep him on track so they can use fear in the presidential campaign.

Publicly, McCain said he doesn’t not believe an attack will help him and wonders why Black would say such a thing. McCain won’t fire him, after all he IS a politician that wants to win and keep us in fear forever or in Iraq for 100 years, whichever is best for the Republican Party and their fear mongers.

Deep down McCain would relish an attack but he just won't admit it like his advisor.
