5 of 1 At 78, McCain savors a new dream job in Senate



Six years after losing to Obama in the presidential election, McCain now has the only other job in Senate besides president that he ever wanted, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He is in charge of overseeing the nations defense policy and Americas military. McCain states that Obama's decision not to send more troops to Iraq has put America at risk, fearing that an attack like the one in Paris could happen in the U.S. McCain has completely different views on foreign policy than Obama does. McCain, a former Navy pilot and the son and grandson of admirals, says that running Armed Services is a fulfillment of a lifelong political aspiration.
