McCain on CNN just said the Iraq War has had a positive impact on Afghanistan. |
|
That's a pretty big gaffe. The evidence is that Afghanistan is in the worst shape since we invaded. We should jump on him for this one. The so-called foreign policy expert is no expert at all.

10. Far from it -- Blitzkrieg is now parroting talk radio talking points ... |
|
All about Obama "snubbing" the troops by not visiting them overseas ... Nothing like taking your cues about NEWS from what's being discussed among wingnuts on their talk radio shows.

5. The maddening thing is the media isn't questioning their insane allegations. |
|
If they repeat this crap enough times, people will start to believe it. Exhibit A and 'the surge': http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x161370Repeat ad nauseum, and it becomes part of the dialogue.

playbook, for just one example
it's ALL they need to do, really
Marketing 101.
determine your marketing object publicize the theme repeat endlessly
"You deserve a break today"
"We bring good things to life"
"I'd like to teach the world to sing"
"Obama lacks the judgment to be commander in chief"

15. Well it did, from OBL's point of view. |

Al Qaida has loved the Iraqi mess.
I guess we see who sees the world like OBL and Al Qaida. ;-)
