T O P I C R E V I E WAmi AnneI have lost all respect for McCain. He is as corrupt as Obama. IQ is right. Most of them are corrupt. The Republican/democrat thing is horse manure What are they All Hiding?U.S. Senator John McCain called for the invasion of Hong Kong today in response to recent leaks about secret surveillance programs.In an interview with BBC World News, the hawkish Republican said that by hosting the leaker, Edward Snowden, Hong Kong has proven itself to be an enemy of the United States."Either you're with us or you're against us," McCain explained to anchor Freddie Lyon, "and clearly the nation of Hong Kong is against us. By harboring this known cybercriminal they pose a clear and present danger to the American people."I don't want to hear about extradition or rendition or any of that nonsense. This man is a traitor and if we don't get him within 24 hours I say we need to start bombing the hell out of Hong Kong."Luckily this is a tiny country with no real military to speak of. I don't expect any resistance. We could probably destroy their infrastructure and occupy the entire country by the end of the week."------------------Passion, Lust, Desire.

What are they All Hiding?
U.S. Senator John McCain called for the invasion of Hong Kong today in response to recent leaks about secret surveillance programs.
In an interview with BBC World News, the hawkish Republican said that by hosting the leaker, Edward Snowden, Hong Kong has proven itself to be an enemy of the United States.
"Either you're with us or you're against us," McCain explained to anchor Freddie Lyon, "and clearly the nation of Hong Kong is against us. By harboring this known cybercriminal they pose a clear and present danger to the American people.
"I don't want to hear about extradition or rendition or any of that nonsense. This man is a traitor and if we don't get him within 24 hours I say we need to start bombing the hell out of Hong Kong.
"Luckily this is a tiny country with no real military to speak of. I don't expect any resistance. We could probably destroy their infrastructure and occupy the entire country by the end of the week."

YOU please do your homework.
I'm no fan of many of McCain's policies, but he's not a blithering idiot.
I decided to do a search, though, because (while the wording used sounds nothing like McCain) there remained the possibility that senile dementia had finally settled in.
It took two (2) minutes on Google to find that the story ORIGINATED AS SATIRE.
Life without satire would be pretty boring.
