1. thanks

[Kdillard]

2. Thanks for the heads up. He is doing very well.

Also unlike what the morons on CNN are saying he does understand it is not his job to negotiate with Iraq. He said it before he left we have one president at a time.

3. What would "The Surge" look like if we stopped handing out cash?

It works until the cash stops.

[MarjorieG]

4. No one mentions that. But media can only talk about the surge, and McCain's winning.

[Kdillard]

5. not to mention that the surge that John McCain is so gungho on

only returned things back to presurge violence levels. So basically it just went from worse back to bad. Yet they keep trying to hammer Obama on this as if his assessment of the situation was wrong.

7. Of course, They Always Ignore McCain's Mistakes Regarding Iraq

And McCain gets a free pass regarding his screwed up predictions regarding the Iraq War:

John McCain declared before the Iraq war: "There's no doubt in my mind that we will prevail and there's no doubt in my mind, once these people are gone, that we will be welcomed as liberators." --on the Iraq war, "Hardball" interview, March 24, 2003

Also, remember this McCainism: “There’s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along.” (MSNBC, 4/23/03)

Mccain - "I believe that the success will be fairly easy." (9/24/02)

McCain - "We will win this conflict. We will win it easily." (1/22/03)

McCain - "Our technology, particularly air-to-ground technology, is vastly improved," McCain told CNN's Larry King on Dec. 9, 2002. "I don't think you're going to have to see the scale of numbers of troops that we saw, nor the length of the buildup, obviously, that we had back in 1991." It

Or, what about these three inconsistent beauties:

Sept 2002: “From everything I can tell that (Rumsfeld’s plan) seems to be a very good strategy.

McCain - On May 12, 2004, in the wake of the Abu Ghraib scandal, McCain was asked on "Hannity & Colmes" whether Rumsfeld could still be effective in his job. "Yes, today I do and I believe he's done a fine job," McCain responded. "He's an honorable man."

January 2008: “The point is, my friends, when Rumsfeld’s strategy was failing, I was the only one who stood up and said, it’s a failed strategy, and we gotta adopt a new strategy.”

Yet, the GOP claims that Barack Obama is the one with naive views on foreign policy?

6. tired of the repeated argument that Obama is not ready to lead the military

and as the "reporter" says at the end about that - "a topic that will continue to be a hotly contested one the rest of this campaign"


Well, well, well.... There they go again! Repeating the GOP talking point for millions of viewers in yet another nationally televised program, that Barack isn't fit to lead and there's so much widespread debate over such...

Notice there's never a "hotly contested debate" over McSame's inability to remember something as simple as the story about his torture days, and how it was always the Packers football team's offensive linemen who he'd give when they wanted names of his comrades, but in Pittsburgh just a few weeks ago, he said it was the Steelers' defensive linemen's names he recited when he was being tortured!



Somehow - the inability to remember that fact, shows me he's getting really unfit medically, to lead this country's fighting forces, let alone solve the problems we are facing!


I HATE THE MEDIA...
