He is so full of BS his eyes are liquid brown.

"The exit strategy is success of the surge, continued Iraqi ability to take over their security, requirements to have the democratic process go forward. It's the classic counterinsurgency strategy," McCain told the Fox News Channel.

Yeah, uh huh, that surge is a real "success", and the Iraqis are really in control of security.

2. Old Man McSame...
...writes his own speeches.

First he purchased one of the Patriotic Edition of the magnet poetry things that normal people only use for their refrigerators.

Then he threw them on the floor and reads them out loud.

I almost forgot, my friends...

We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I took the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter you'd say. Now where were we, oh yeah...the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

4. John Negroponte
Neoliberal, Machiavellian, old school CIA, cold warrior, under the radar of civilian oversight, "counter-insurgency" replete with DEATH SQUADS and Chilean style, Chicago School economics... False Flag, Black-ops...all that.

I would bet you dollars to donuts that John Negroponte' bombed the Mosque in Nasariyah... Armed the Shi'a Militias by recruiting them into the Bagdhad Polizei... initiating the death squads and ethnic cleansing of Sunni, already disenfranchised and terrorized, through De-Baath-ification and massive arrests by U.S. forces.

That's John "Bomb-Iran" McCain...

makes my damn blood BOIL... grrrrrrr
