President Bush's official heir cranked up his aggressive rhetoric , over the week-end, towards Hamas. Senator McCain stated: " I will be Hamas's worst nightmare..."

This type of counter productive stance remind us of the one made by President Bush when he told Iraqi's insurgents " To bring it on..." ,a few years ago.

The list is extensive, and because of his long political career getting longer and more problematic for him by the minute.

Senator Mc Cain has painted himself as a " maverick " riding the " straight talk express ". However, it is not the case. It feels more that Sen. McCain goes with the permanent changing wind of political circumstances  with no regard for his own original priciples.

It does not give, in any case, the indication of a steady character and of an ability to stay cool under pressure.
