February 8, 2008 (LPAC)--Republican presidential pre-candidate John McCain again misused the occasion of the annual, early February, International Munich Security Conference as a platform for hawkish propaganda against Russia, Iran, Syria and other "rogues" (as he calls them). He also calls on NATO to show more military muscle in the world. In an article he wrote for a conference supplement in today's edition of Sueddeutsche Zeitung, McCain calls for "a common line of the West against a revanchist Russia," for the G-8 to "include India and Brazil but close Russia out," and for the formation of a "League of Democracies" to "complement the United Nations."

Moreover, NATO should increase its troop presence in Afghanistan, McCain writes, adding that restrictions posed by some NATO states on how and when their own troops can be deployed, have to be ended. As far as Iran is concerned, "a military intervention, always as the last resort, must remain as an option on the table. Tehran must recognize that it cannot win a show of force with the world." If he were elected President, McCain concludes, he would revive the kind of "democratic solidarity" between USA and Europe" which united the West during the Cold War." But, considering his waning health, LaRouche said, in "Mitt Romney Walks Out," that McCain is an option for a Bloomberg Fascist Presidency, a Presidency which McCain would seem to enjoy if he lived through it.
