Second time in two days McCain cites current events in 'Czechoslovakia'

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/16/mccain-again-cites-current-events-in-czechoslovakia/

(CNN) – For the second time in two days, John McCain has referred to current events in “Czechoslovakia” – a country that officially ceased to exist in January of 1993.

“And I regret some of the recent behavior Russia that has exhibited, and I’ll be glad to talk about that later on including reduction in oil supplies to Czechoslovakia after they agreed with us on a missile defense system, etcetera,” said the presumptive Republican nominee at a New Mexico town hall Tuesday.

More than fifteen years ago, Czechoslovakia officially split into two nations – the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

On Monday, the Arizona senator made virtually the same statement about recent Russian moves that troubled him, citing that country’s attempt to reduce “the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia.”

2. If he pronounced it correctly, it's an improvement from Bush.
He's got great foreign policy credentials, doesn't he.

His priority appears to be bringing back the cold war.

4. The thought of Americans being OK with McCain is beginning to make me
physically ill and nauseous.

How can people seriously be directing their energy into attacking Obama when we have McWW3 promising to be even worse than the worst.president.ever?

Honestly, I can't even stomach this "debate" anymore. The people in this country will get what they deserve.
