Kall: So to kind of wrap up here now, knowing John McCain as you know him so well from the time you've spent with him both as a student and as a prisoner of war, how would you see him operating as President that scares you or concerns you? What would be some of the ways that he would function, and in a way that we wouldn't want to see him as President, if he became President?
Butler: I would totally completely expect four more of the last eight years.
Kall: In what way?
Butler: In every way: in the Neo Con thinking; the insulated decision making; not listening to the members of the Cabinet; listening to an insulated, closed group of right-wing, politically oriented Neo Conservatives.
I would expect him to be bellicose to other countries like Iran, I would expect him, if he took a notion, to launch missiles if something irritated him or something ticked him off.
I just would expect him to be a hair trigger kind of President; I would expect him to not really see the world of nations in all of their complexity, in all of their cultures, in all of their religions and all of the different points of view in ways of doing life, I could not expect John McCain to be a student of that, and to try to understand it, just like George Bush has not done.
Kall: Is he an intolerant man?
Butler: I'm sorry is he what?
Kall: intolerant--of those differences?
Butler: I guess--(Rob's assistant announces time is up).
