• John McCain and Barack Obama on How Best to Destroy the Iranian Threat

    The two presidential candidates have responded to Iran's hilarious missile joke, because that's what they're here to do.

    Believe it or not, John McCain seems to be a bit excited to begin retaliations. What a shock…

    "Ballistic missile testing coupled with Iran's continued refusal to cease its nuclear activities should unite the international community in efforts to counter Iran's dangerous ambitions.

    "Iran's missile tests also demonstrate the need for effective missile defense now and in the future, and this includes missile defense in Europe as is planned with the Czech Republic and Poland."

    In other words, right about now is a fantastic time to get a brand new cold war started. 'Cause the first one was so awesome.

    Barack Obama, as always the diplomacy-monger, had a slightly different response…

    "As these tests have reaffirmed, the threat from Iran's nuclear program is real and it is grave. As President, I will do everything in my power to eliminate that threat, and that must begin with direct, aggressive, and sustained diplomacy."

    "Direct, aggressive, and sustained diplomacy!" I like that! We'll just get right in their face and take them out to fancy dinners and comp them tickets to the opera, and we won't take no for an answer. We'll be like, "You're coming out for a night on the town with me, and you're gonna like it!" And we'll do it every day until they stand down in the nuclear research.

    We can show them just how annoying and overbearing can American truly be.
