Quebec doesn't have to be concerned that McCain will pull a Putin and attempt to annex them anytime soon.


I don't think he has to "get past" the Congress in order to get us in trouble. Be that due to "non-declared" wars, or just interpersonal issues (I can see him losing his cool with a foreign leader much more easily than Obama).

And I take offense at the charge it's fear-mongering. If anything it's concern for my cousin who's in the Army, and all the men+women wearing the uniform who could potentially give their lives because somebody didn't explore all the options before deciding to commit troops.
