Is that worse than ... ( 8 months ago by WorldofTomorrow420)
Is that worse than being told "America is under attack" and then sitting in front of a school class like a deer in the headlights like Bush did on 9/11? Or confusing Al-Qaeda with Shi'ites numerous times like McCain?
We cannot buy our ... ( 8 months ago by deznuts1980)
We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat al qaeda by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion now in slavery in the mid east, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters." Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.

first off i WILL NOT DEFEND THE D*RTBAG B*SH ADMINISTRATION, but McCain is not Bush, and he is on the Senate armed forces committee, he knows full well the difference between the two, funny how Obama goes duh, uh, uhm, uh over and over like he is retarded, yet you see no similarity to "my pet goat" bush?

Then his wish is to draw down the troops, but not leave for 20 or 30 years? WTF? WTF? WTF?
What a piece of garbage!! Obama 08, BULLCRAP!!!!
No he didn't say ... ( 8 months ago by IonicStormFront)
No he didn't say that. What he said was he thought the idea of attacking Iraq was a massive strategic blunder. There's a difference.
Array ( 8 months ago by ixaxion)
The truth:
It's a messy situation with one of two outcomes.
1. We withdraw our troops and let the cards fall where ever they may, concerning the Iraqi government.
2. We stay and make sure the government is stable before leaving.
I prefer option two but that requires a renewed commitment from America and I don't know if she has that. But with the Dems you're only going to get option one. And option one is sloppy.

Obama can't even ... ( 3 months ago by BillOByrneIII)
Obama can't even formulate his question, the General has to do it for him. The Ambassador graciously overlooks Obama's confusion calling Iran Iraq. The ambassador had to teach Obama the basics of civil diplomatic relations between neighboring countries. And finally Obama posed a hypothetical question about the "status quo" which entirely depends on a strong US presence. The Obama-Democratic platform leads to destabilization of the region and meltdown less affordable than the status quo.

BillOByrnell: its somewhat suprising that ur saying that the best political orator of our time cant formulate a sentence. Also a Mccain thinks putin is the president of germany! mccain thinks the fundamentals of the economy are strong, mccain thinks checkoslovakia is still a place! face it mccain voted for a war that has been described by dems and republicans as the biggest blunder in us millitary history!

Yes, of course we ... ( 3 months ago by BillOByrneIII)
Yes, of course we all make mistakes, but "the best pol. orator" was certainly fumbling here. The contrast between his eloquent speeches and this hearing is astounding. A great orator does not necessarily a great politician make. I agree Iraq was a mistake, but it was an intelligence fiasco that got us in and political bickering and cowardice, not military problems, that McCain has turned around. Once we were in, we had a responsibility to leave the country more stable and free than we found it.

Makes sense to me, man. So many damn um's and uh's that I forget what the hell he's saying, because, like you, I'm waiting for him to say um or uh again, as he soon will.
