McCain calls Obama "utterly confused" on Iraq. Oh, baby, what a set up for some comebacks.
McCain:

"Senator Obama is utterly confused by the progress in the war in Iraq. "

I hope Obama says - "I'm not confused. I know exactly how many houses I have - one. My Iraq policy is ..."

2. Lol. Except Bush just adopted Obama's plan today.
As has everybody else. Everybody but McCain, that is. Which begs the question, exactly whom is confused here?

3. This from a man who doesn't know the difference between a Shiite and a Suni
Who thinks Al Qaeda is in Iran
Who thinks Pakistan borders Iraq

Get real McSame!!!

9. I initially included both of those blunders in my imagined Obama response but
thought it might hide the real smackdown. :) I really hope the Obama camp responds to this in a way to emphasize McCain's repeated episodes of "confusion".

11. Don't you get the feeling he's gonna blow soon?
I think his temperament is starting to show.

6. "utterly" huh?
Since when did McSame use such big words? Does he actually know what it means?

8. when the Obama camp pointed out McCain's Iraq "confusion"
the McCain camp cried "ageism!" ageism! confused is an ageist code word!" No it isn't, jackasses, since you are using it too.


Wonkette posted a picture that Jonathan Martin and Jim Vandehei at Politico had captioned "McCain the War Hero and Palin the Everymom", and said "Many have speculated that Politico harbors a right-wing bias, and this basically confirms it. They want someone to off Ol’ Yellow Tooth McCain after he’s in office so that a REAL CONSERVATIVE, Sarah Palin, can step in and make life terrible for everyone, again."

10. Actually, all Obama has to do is point out that he knows the difference between Sunni and Shia

12. It's McSame who is confused
He apparently didn't think that invading/occupying Iraq would be difficult before he claimed he never said that it would be easy. He clearly is "utterly confused" about who exactly he is talking about.

13. Utter confusion is stating that Obama's timetable for withdrawing troops
"sounds about right", and then denying he'd ever said that. McShitbag doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground from day to day.

15. Yeah, because Barack doesn't know what's happening on the Iraq/Pakistan border
or how Iran is training Al Queda.
