麦凯恩终于坐上了几代人梦想的宝座——米国总监军

出生于将军世家的约翰·麦凯恩终于坐上了几代人梦想的宝座——国会武装力量委员会主席。五角大楼现在看见这个78岁的顶头上司得跪着爬了。

美国国会武装力量委员会由25个参议员组成，负责监控包括国防部在内的美国繁多的各种武装力量，由约翰·麦凯恩出任委员会主席。麦凯恩现在就是米国的最高总监军啊。

奥黑的头更大了，而麦凯恩则是得意地叫嚷：“我是对的，他（奥巴马）是错的！”

At 78, McCain Savors a New Dream Job in the Senate

Now, six years after losing the presidential election to Barack Obama, Mr. McCain finally has the only job in Washington, other than being president, that he ever wanted: chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, overseer of the American military and the nation’s defense policy. The question is whether he will use his new clout (and ability to subpoena) to make war or some accommodation with the White House.

“McCain now has the power either to destroy the president’s national security policy or shape it constructively,” said Leslie H. Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. “This is the first step to see whether he is going to use his new power to clobber Obama as he has for the past six years, or whether he will use it to try to shape and improve Obama’s policy.”
