McCain is nothing more than a vindictive little weasel. Brain dead when born, and still is! Competence Level: O%
He's a mimicking mindless monkey working for the bankers, plain and simple. Bought and sold.
He has no creative intelligence. He just does what he's told.

Didn't Bush say "Mission Accomplished" like three weeks after the war in Iraq started? Bet the troops are real happy to hear McCain's prediction. The Republicans couldn't resurrect Ronald Reagan for this election by any chance?

I'm pretty sure the war will be over before 2013. The US will be totally bankrupt by then. The surface cost of this war is approaching 15 billion dollars a month, and that doesn't include all the ancillary costs of caring for the wounded veterans. Does anyone think we can sustain five more years at 15 billion dollars a month? China will own us by then, if they don't already.

this what kills me though..if obama gets in...you have people that are not willing to vote for obama but will vote for mccain just because they dont want to see obama become president. but rather have those troops over there for a longer time and for the US to spend more money into countries that can care less about us..its time we start taking care of ourselves before taking care of others, just my opinion.

Just five more years, folks. Sure, that's another 4,000 dead troops and a couple hundred billion a year (that would mean, say, another TRILLION DOLLARS), but other than that, uh, other than that we're basically screwed. McCain isn't even pretending that he'll end the war in Iraq. He's pretty much promising us that if he is elected president, we'll be there another five years. Absolutely astounding.

Are you sure McCain didn't meant to say the Iraq war was won on January 2130?

Didn't Cheney say that the insurgency was in its last throes about 3 years ago?

McCain believes Iraq war can be won by 2013

This coming from a traitor, who turned on his country in Veitnam.

What Really Happened When McCain Was a POW?

Alexander Cockburn
Counterpunch
April 19, 2008

John McCain’s been getting kid-glove treatment from the press for years, ever since he wriggled free of the Keating scandal and his profitable association – another collaboration, you might say — with the nation’s top bank swindler in the 1980s. But nothing equals the astounding tact with which his claque on the press bus avoids the topic of McCain’s collaborating with his Vietnamese captors after he’d been shot down.

How McCain behaved when he was a prisoner is key. McCain is probably the most unstable man ever to have got this close to the White House. He’s one election away from it. Republican senator Thad Cochrane has openly said he trembles at the thought of an unstable McCain in the Oval Office with his finger on the nuclear trigger.

What if a private memory of years of collaboration in his prison camp gnaws at McCain, and bursts out in his paroxysms of uncontrollable fury, his rantings about “gooks” and his terrifying commitment to a hundred years of war in Iraq. What if “the hero” knows he’s a phony?
Doug Valentine has written the definitive history of the Phoenix Program in Vietnam. He knows about the POW experience. His dad, an Army man, was captured by the Japanese and sent to a POW camp in the Philippines for forced labor. Many of his mates died. Doug wrote a marvelous book about it, The Hotel Tacloban.

Obama's policies regarding immigration are weak, his strategy to pull us out of debt are not going to work, his health insurance answers are generic, his understanding-research for alternate resources for fuel are null & void....sure, he's a great motivational speaker, but: to run our country?
To dig us out of this albatross that's been dug?
Not happening.
I'm not confident.
He's not getting my vote.

I would like to clear something up, if I may. getting captured during a war doesnt make you a hero or a patriot. it makes you a victim. I would refuse any medal offered to me, if I were in that situation. nowadays everyone gets a medal. like the oprah show, you get a medal... and you get a medal. what happend to being heroic? as far as him being bipartisan are you reffering to liberman? will McCain still be alive in 2013?

Better another 4,000 or even 40,000 in the next 5 years than 400,000 of our grandchildren in 20 years because we did not wish to be inconvenienced .

Just when you thought that someone dumber than our current president couldn't be inserted into the White House, along comes this dimwit McCain.

He wants to invest five more years of spending countless trillions of dollars, not to mention sacrificing countless young boys' lives to "Win a war" that nobody wants nor where we have nothing to gain.

Security in the region? Don't make me laugh. These people are governed by beliefs that are thousands of years old. They are still living in the 3rd century a.d. Pull our troops out of there. If they want to kill each other off, fine. If they begin to get too uppity, Israel can handle them with little effort. They know how to take care of these ancients.

Where's Bill Bradley when you need him?

Just like the buffoon Bush sold the WMD lies to congress and the public, the neocon puppeteers are opening warmonger McCains mouth and spewing out moronic, delusional, crystal ball revelations that he will declare, just like Bush, "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq but it will be in 2013. It is as good a date as any. Absolutely irresponsible and idiotic.

Just because the military hasn't found the WMD'S doesn't mean they don't exist.As I read the internet and watched war journalist like Ollie North(Fox News) embedded during Iraqi Freedom war I seen what was described as brand new chemical suits,seen clear UN violations such as Frogger
missles found,the international community (some of which I believe were against the U.S. going into)said Saddam had WMD'S,and I believe his own generals said he had therefore while theres no 100% certainty I'm right theres no 100% certainty that the majority of the peoples beliefs is correct.And for All Lives I pray I'm wrong but what if I'm right?Can the U.S. really afford not to consider my view?I don't want another 9-11 do you?

And yes this is why I believe in President Bush and his war on terror.
