McCain Promises Preemptive Testing

By TChris

Leave it to John McCain to turn an opponent's gaffe into one of his own.

Republican John McCain vowed that as president he would "test" America's enemies rather than having them test him. ... "I am going to test them. They are not going to test me."

That's great, Senator McCain. As long as you're announcing a policy of American belligerence, do you think you could be more specific? Which enemy do you have in mind? How exactly do you intend to "test" that enemy? And, since Republicans have not shown any ability to anticipate the consequences of their actions, what trouble do you predict your "testing" might stir up?
