What do you say when McCain asks Obama why "Yes, we can!" doesn't apply to Iraq?

[calmblueocean]

I'm sure it's going to come up.

McCain will say that he's the true candidate of "Yes, we can!" because he believes we can win in Iraq and Obama doesn't. He'll say Obama is really saying, "No, we can't."

It's glib, sure. But how would you respond to it?

[thereismore]

1. We have already won. What more do you want to do? nt

[rzemanfl]

2. Because that would be "Yes, THEY can." n/t

[jakem]

3. "yes we can"

get the fuck out of a senseless oil-profit driven war.

[VolcanoJen]

8. Good answer!

:thumbsup:

[ClassWarrior]

4. Yes we have.

NGU.

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Iraq isn't part of "we" and therefore "we" have little control over its course.

[rzemanfl]

17. We were agreeing with each other at the same time without

knowing it. Great minds and all that.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Yes, we have.

[Schema Thing]

7. Yes we can end this thing for the betterment of America and the world.

[Schema Thing]

9. ps. the above was pretty fucking simple, and simply irrefutable.

[FrenchieCat]

10. He'll say that it is time for Iraqis to say "yes, We can".

We've done more than enough already.

[bellasgrams]

11. With BO's arrogant temperament he'll have a hard time taking

the needling he would get if the nominee.

[helderheid]

12. YES WE CAN END THE WAR IN IRAQ AND BRING HOME OUR TROOPS!

Sorry for yelling. :hi:

[maximusveritas]

13. The question isn't whether we can, but whether we should and whether it's worth the cost

We can invade Canada too, but that doesn't mean we ought to.

[TwilightGardener]

14. Iraq is a bad issue--it will lose the Repubs the election. Count on it.

[abburdlen]

15. Yes we can.

Yes we can be honest about the fact that we are there protecting our oil interests rather than Americans safety.
Yes we can fight Al Qaeda and bring Bin Laden to justice if we stop focusing on this misguided war.
Yes we can bring our troops home from Iraq by sitting at the negotiation table with Iraq's neighbors.
Yes we can honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in Iraq without staying there for another hundred years.

I'm pretty sure Obama would hit that ball right out of the park.

[slor]

16. All he has to do is point out that...

mccain is fine with being there 100 years. And follow that up with how that is impossible.

[Sybbis]

18. Yes we can have a successful exit strategy. n/t
