[McCain on Iran: From February 2008]
The excerpt below is from the transcript of Senator McCain's speech.
SEN. MCCAIN: I intend to make unmistakably clear to Iran we will not permit a government that espouses the destruction of the state of Israel as its fondest wish and pledges undying enmity to the United States to possess the weapons to advance their malevolent ambitions.
---------
No endorsement of either candidate is implied.
....
I intend to defeat the threat by staying on offense and by marshalling every relevant agency of our government and our allies in the urgent necessity of defending the values, virtues and security of free people against those who despise all that is good about us.
