McCain points out Obama's weaknesses again

If you are looking at this objectively, you have to like McCain's answers lately.

Here is his response to Obama's childish comment that terrorists were only in Iraq because of the GOP:

"That's history, that's the past," McCain told attendees at a town hall meeting at Rice University. "That's talking about what happened before. What we should be talking about is what we're going to do now. And what we're going to do now is continue this strategy which is succeeding in Iraq and we are carrying out the goals of the surge, the Iraqi military are taking over more and more of the responsibilities."

Exactly right. He has no plan except for failure. His policies would put our country and the entire world at risk. He is wet behind the ears, he has no clue how to tackle such a complex issue.

Yes, John, let's forget all about the fact that our actions have served to help our enemy's recruting efforts. Let's ignore the fact that the Bush/McCain "strategy" has allowed the Taliban to regroup in Afghanistan.

How does the saying go?

Those who forget the past are doomed to do absurdly stupid things like "bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

In other words, McCain doesn't want to see talk about the past mistakes and blunders. He wants us to believe in his rhetoric again on how everything would be so great in the future!! right? WOW!! Cool.

So, since he wants to attack, Al Queda, are we going to attack Pakistan next? Because, there are tons of Taliban and Al Queda folks living in Peshawar and Quetta area!!

Man, Barack Hussein has to be embarrassed. I almost feel sorry for him.

Well of course you fool, anytime we attack a particular area, “they” are going to recruit a little harder. Dah!

Re-grouping in a specific area might be beneficial, did you ever think of that? Of course not. You people only think in terms or anti-whatever we’re doing at the moment.

Just a little curious here, how would O’bama handle this situation?

What exactly would the anointed one do?

does anybody here know what blamin' is talking about? that last post doesn't make any sense.

the point is, iraq is not about al qaeda. it never was. the number of al qaeda in iraq is very small and iraqis only tolerate them insomuch as they kill americans. the iraqis will take care of al qaeda. and if they need our help to go after a strong-hold or "base", we'll give it to them. but we don't need 130,000 troops in country and spend $trillions to do that.

anon 11:26--

When things were going badly in Iraq, progressives wanted us to leave because they said we shouldn't help stop a civil war. Now, when Iraq is improving, they argue we should leave because Iraq doesn't need us. You guys with justification complained about the conservatives emphasizing different reasons for removing Saddam at different times-- WMD was the centerpiece leading up to the invasion, while Democracy has been the main point since then. Given this, how can you in good faith jimmy the reasons for leaving recklessly?

The moral point of view suggests this-- regardless of what one believed about what Bush did, we should leave in a way that minimizes human deaths and leaves the Iraqi democracy with the ability to stand on its own legs. Al-Anbar is scheduled to be handed over soon, to give you an idea of our progress. Troops will be coming home this year, and we need a Republican to make certain they come home responsibly in the future.

The left doesn't care about this. The left is unpatriotic, yes, but they are definitely nationalists. If you're not an American, as Rwanda in 1994 showed, the left simply doesn't give a shit about you. People like Barack Hussein Obama are genuinely indifferent to more Iraqi bloodshed that would be caused by a premature withdrawal, and even the prospect of undoing all of the progress we accomplished with the Sunnis-- so much for the "audacity of hope."

Talk about human rights and self-determination is all for show with the left, while George W. Bush is the real deal. While McCain is a progressive Republican, I also believe he is loyal not just to America, but what America should represent in the cosmic scheme of things.
