McCain on Iraq: "I said we would have an easy victory, and we did."
He said that just now, on Larry King Live.

He lies at will.

1. To paraphrase Fozzie bear:
I'd hate to see what the hard victory looks like.

2. Wow. Except when he said "everyone knew it was going to be long and tough"
a couple years back. He can't keep it straight.

3. see when he says "WE" would have an easy victory, he means the repukes, not the soldiers
or the country.

They wanted to crush the constitution and enshrine an imperial presidency. They did. They wanted to enrich their corporate bosses and cronies on K Street. They did.

For bush & him it has been an easy victory.

5. I'd like to see him tell that to all the widow(er)s and children.
I had a tad of sympathy for the old goat the other day. No more. He is a lying piece of shit without a shred of honor or dignity.

15. On Stephanopoulus on Sunday he said
that US troops WERE greeted as liberators in Iraq. The man is as delusional as Bush, maybe worse.

17. McCain must be embarrassed
about his involvement in the criminal war. I heard he even banned this book, Stupid Wars from his campaign HQ. Sort of sad.

20. does he honestly believe
that if he repeats it often often enough, people will sort of stop noticing family members called to their 4th or 5th or 6th tour, or family members permanently disabled, or family members permanently gone, or a ruined economy with no money to spend on fixing roads or improving our infrastructure or stimulating the economy because we're in debt for generations due to this nightmare?

and yeah, if it "was" an easy win, does that mean our soldiers can all come home now?

amazing. effing amazing.
