If you can sit through the first half of an interview McCain did in Miami, you will get to hear McCain get completely stumped when asked if he would meet with Spain's Prime Minister. He was asked two or three times and gave boilerplate answers about standing with our friends and being against those who would do us harm in 'the region'. It appeared that 'the region' he thought Spain was in was Central and South America since they had just been talking about that previously and he mentioned Cuba or something in the same breath.
The interviewer repeated again 'now this is Spain we're talking about, Prime Minister Zapatero'. Again McCain gave a boilerplate answer and said he would have to 'check on the situation' before giving a specific answer. It definitely seemed like he had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Though some have speculated he is keeping Bush's cold shoulder policy for taking Spanish troops out of Iraq.
Then, McCain's 'i will have to check on it and see' comment, and this is coming from the supposed foreign policy guru maverick, could just as easily have been substituted with 'I don't know my stance on the person or country you are talking about so I will check with my neocon advisers to find out if they are for us or against us. I don't decide who to like or not I leave that to my hockey Mom and her Christian Warriors.
