McCain's Foreign Policy: More Procrastination

Michael Cohen, National Security Network | May 30, 2008

The US position vis-a-vis Iran and North Korea has been weakened in the past several years, not out of a reluctance to engage in talks, or because of the emptiness of threats of using force, but because of a failure to formulate a clear-cut policy. ++ As the military option is unrealistic, America should focus on the many diplomatic and economic levers at its disposal. ++ John McCain's refusal to engage in bilateral negotiations would simply continue the same trend of complete US inaction, while America's enemies are expanding their capabilities.
