A short clip of John McCain, asked about Iran, singing 'Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran' to the tune of the Beach Boys' Barbara Ann.

HN brings it up in Iran-related threads as a critical or darkly joking reminder of casual hawkish rhetoric.

here's some intro material: link link here's a fun one: ▶ this video - "McCain Sings "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" also check out the proxy wars being fought in Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen between the US and Iran in lieu of all-out ground war. i was going to start adding links from Trump's presidency but there's just so many...

The translation for that is questionable link Unlike John McCain singing "bomb bomb Iran" during his 2008 campaign ▶ this video Iran has also never shot down a US passenger flight link

> What about the Iranian approach to the U.S.? What if Iran stopped development of nuclear weapons and attacking U.S. forces in Iraq and elsewhere, or sponsoring organizations that are destabilizing the Middle East? It's not like they're not also agitating the situation. It's in their best interest because that way they can maintain power. It takes threee to tango in this situation Provocations and aggressions that maybe the US should perhaps stop doing: - presidential candidates gleefully parodying beach boy songs about bombing Iran. [1] - spending many 10s of billions of America’s hard earned tax dollars surroinsing Iran with several dozen military bases. [2] - Assassinating or supporting Israel in assassinating Iranian scientists abroad.[3] - or assassinating Iranian military leaders [4] - Organizing violent military coups to replace democratically elected governments with Radical Islamist puppet dictatorships [5], [6] - Gatekeeping nuclear power by releasing destructive viruses into the world to destroy Iranian Nuclear research labs [7] 1. ▶ this video 2. link 3. link 4. link 5. link 6. link 7. link

Oh, its a slogan .. I thought we were talking about official government policy. I wonder if McCain meant his death chant literally: ▶ this video Its probably a good thing he didn't get a chance to set official US policy on Iran. EDIT: /s
