According to Yahoo!News :
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Republican US presidential contender John McCain (news, bio, voting record) turned to popular music to illuminate the debate on the Middle East, singing at the suggestion that the United States “bomb, bomb, bomb” Iran
“That old Beach Boys song, ‘Bomb Iran’?” McCain said in response to a question about US policy on its diplomatic pariah at an electoral campaign meeting in the state of North Carolina.
His questioner had struck an anti-Iran tone, asking him when the United States was going to “send an air mail message to Tehran,” drawing cheers from the crowd.
McCain then briefly sang “Bomb, bomb, bomb” — an adapted snippet of the rock ‘n’ roll band’s refrain “Ba-ba-ba, Ba-Barbara Ann” — winning laughter from the audience.
The performance was filmed and posted by users on the video-sharing website YouTube. One posting presented an edited version of the clip, with added photographs of children suffering from injuries cause by violence in Iraq.
“Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel,” McCain went on in a serious tone, however.
“That alone should concern us, but now they are trying for nuclear capabilities. I totally support the president (George W. Bush) when he says we will not allow Iran to destroy Israel.”
McCain is the Republican candidate most supportive of the war in Iraq, though he has harshly criticized President George W. Bush’s handling of it.
He has long been seen as a likely favorite on the Republican side for the 2008 US presidential race, but recently has scrambled to overhaul his campaign strategy as he lags behind in fund raising and in the polls.
McCain’s campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin told ABC news that the senator “was just trying to add a little humor to the event.”
- Oh the youtube actually got someone that made a funny yet serious video about this song!!
The problem about this is actually significant…as per previous posts that any tension in the middle east will affect the rest of the world…in oil prices…then inflation then economy. The implication is pretty high.
The price we pay is higher cost of living…but we get “allegedly” peace and security of oil supply…from Iran…and those flowing pass the straits of Hormuz…well..what you rather have? I say we start buying USD$ now…or simply cut all your debts quickly! Start prepare for the bad economy…back up plans…and have security for food, water, electricity and jobs…
High oil prices..means possible higher transportation cost…then utilities then food cost…then if you lose your job…it’s not the end of the world..you still have some possible way to find jobs with even lower pay. We can also grow our own food in corridors, take public tap water and stay in rented houses…but we also can earn more money…either way it’s fine..as long you are committed.
Never Say Die is different from “Kiasu” we must not give up and increase the number of MRT disruption by jumping…we must find out more on how to improve our jobs and make important decisions and make sure you have a fall back plans.
Debts counsellings will ask you to consolidate your debts in a single fund transfer at lower interest but remember NOT TO USE THE CARDS AGAIN when you free up your credit limits in credit cards otherwise you will end up with double the debts.
Investment must be very dedicated and able to take risk…must be able to exit at lower lost then holding the investment until it bottoms out…and lose everything. Learn the word diversification…and the whatever easter eggs not in a single basket theory. Knowing the coming energy crisis might not be the same as the last…so be very vigilant on the types of investments. Listen to all sides of the story when they are selling you the investment types…before committing.
Learn, study, research on survival for the worst case scenarios….on URBAN Sustainability at lower cost….on Water, Food, Electricity, Transportation, Shelter and JOBS!….
Seek and make your own preparation!
