He's made an interesting statement recently featured on ABC News (via Hot Air):

At the end of his Friday town hall meeting in Denver, Colorado, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., seemed to imply that an energy policy less dependent on Middle Eastern oil might have prevented fighting in the region.

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East,” McCain told a crowd of 300 at a Jewish Community Center in Denver.

“That will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.”

McCain’s comments came as he was discussing his Democratic rivals’ plans to remove troops from Iraq immediately, which he opposes.

Another way they could keep from having to send soldiers into conflict again is to eliminate Islamofascism, and to get Iraq to change their ways so that problems like the one where an Iraqi girl was murdered by her father for falling in love with a non-Muslim don't crop up again. As for oil, that's right, the time has come to stop depending on oil, specifically from Saudi Arabia and possibly even the UAE.
