It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…

During a speech today in Ohio, John McCain laid out his rosy outlook for the world after he’d been in office for four years. The year is 2013, and according to John McCain, the world is living in love, peace and harmony with each other., thanks to his foreign policy expertise. All hail King John we will shout from the rafters!

“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.’’

Ummm, didn’t anybody tell him that Bush his Boss-man declared the war in Iraq a victory some ten years prior to 2013?

“Concerted action’’ by the world’s democracies will have persuaded Russia and China to cooperate in persuading Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions and North Korea to discontinue its own.

Ummm, that is of course if Bush his Boss-man doesn’t annihilate Iran first. And Russia isn’t alienated after McCain kicked them out of the elite G-8 group. And as far as “persuading” China to do anything, maybe by then the sandal will be on the other foot, and it will be China “persuading” us instead. Hell by that time, China might have moved in to their new comfy home of America. Thanks to Bush his Boss-man, China has lent us so much money, they probably own the deed by now!

an increase in actionable intelligence will have led to the capture or death of Osama bin Laden, and “there is no longer any place in the world al Qaeda can consider a safe haven.’’

Well, its been seven years since 9/11, and to be honest, if the world’s intelligence communities haven’t found Osama yet, he’s either dead, or they are looking in the wrong places. I know! Send troops into Saudi Arabia to look for him, I’m thinking that would be a good starting point. Oops, I forgot this is McCain’s future fantasy! So maybe by 2013 America will have invaded Saudi Arabia to get the “evil doers.”

And lastly, after McCain has solved most of the world’s peace problems, he addresses the domestic issues:

The United States will have experienced several years of “robust economic growth,’’ and a reduction in the corporate tax rate.

That’s it? Four years on the job, and that’s all he’s got for the domestic issues is “robust economic growth?” I guess trivial items like education, healthcare, illegal immigration, and the rest of the bothersome domestic issues that have been neglected under Bush his Boss-man can wait for his second term!

Where’s the “chicken in every pot, and a car in every garage” promise?
