John McCain actually said...

"Make no mistake, if Iran achieves a nuclear weapons capability, it will not be because we couldn't stop it, but because we chose not to stop it."

"we meet here today to discuss U.S. policy toward Iran, which at present is focused foremost on the imperative of preventing that government from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability."

"We're asking for your assessment as to when they will have a nuclear weapon that is deliverable because that is obviously a very critical point in this entire situation."

"I'm not asking about a country historically. I'm asking about Iran."
