#10. To: Rupert_Pupkin, a vast rightwing conspirator (#9)
Come now, vast. Wasn't Obama supposed to liberate US foreign policy from the Zionists? Or is appointing neocons just part of the big plan?
RP, you are cruel pulling vast's chain this way. However since I am crueller than you, RP, I will also remind vast telling us on November 4th that one of the big reasons she voted for Obama was to protect her 2 sons from conscription in 8 years to fight wars for Izzy and the MIC. Vast believed that McCain - who actually served in wartime at a time when conscription was in force and who knows the ravages of war up close and personal unlike Barry O who merely read about war in textbooks from his comfy stateside middle class home - would be more likely to invoke conscription. Enter Rahm Emanuel and Rahm's Book of War. Somehow I can't think of a greater neozio war monger that McCain could have chosen for Chief of Staff than Rahm.

It wouldn't have surprised me at all if McCain had given Bill Kristol a cabinet appointment. He already had Randy Scheunemann and Joe Lieberman as shoe-ins.
It's always heads they win, tails you lose with the Zionists, who know how to hedge their bets. Alan Dershowitz admitted as much:
I think that on the important issues relating to Israel, both Senator McCain and Senator Obama score very high. During the debates each candidate has gone out of his and her way to emphasize strong support for Israel as an American ally and a bastion of democracy in a dangerous neighborhood. They have also expressed support for Israel's right to defend itself against the nuclear threat posed by Iran which has sworn to wipe Israel off the map and the need to prevent another Holocaust.

I didn't really follow Mad Mac's politics much until he ran for President in 2000, but I do remember that he started out as somebody reluctant to send US troops abroad, probably as a consequence of his own experiences (a foreign policy moderate like Chuck Hagel). By 2000, he had sold out to the neocons and turned into our noisiest warmonger. Kind of like how Obama went from the "anti-war" candidate in the primaries to showing his true colors today.

I once worried about Lieberman being appointed as Secty of Defense under McCain, but I realized that with an assured Dem sweep of Congress, the GOP could not afford to let Lieberman give up up his Senate seat because Joe was a good little neocon vote for the GOP in the Senate.
Scheunemann I don't know much about except for corruption scandals.
Kristol as cabinet minister or Chief of Staff - definitely I would not see that happening - Kristol is more useful to the neozios as the "respected" ( and well compensated) MSM pro-Israel agitator.
No I still see Rahm Emmanuel's appointment as the President's right hand man to be as scary as it can get for young American males in the future. And make that danger 2X if Obama appoints Dennis Ross to be National Security Advisor.

While McCain would have continued the current 2 foreign wars for the benefit of the MIC and Izzy, I doubt McCain would have considered opening a new front with Pakistan or Iran or getting involved in African "peace-keeping" ventures or for that matter using conscription.
I've read that enlisted people who fought in Vietnam with conscripts are for the most part anti-conscription because they had to deal with the consequences of fighting alongside unwilling and poorly trained conscripts on the front lines.
McCain is more likely, imo, to have upped the numbers of mercenaries to handle Iraq and Afghanistan and just maintained the status quo with 2 current wars for 4 years and then he would have had his 4 years of glory as CnC and retired.
