Message to Lurking Republicans about McCain

[fascisthunter]

He said several times that Iran, a predominately Shiite country, was supplying the mostly Sunni militant group, al-Qaeda. In fact, officials have said they believe Iran is helping Shiite extremists in Iraq.

Speaking to reporters in Amman, the Jordanian capital, McCain said he and two Senate colleagues traveling with him continue to be concerned about Iranian operatives "taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back."

Pressed to elaborate, McCain said it was "common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that's well known. And it's unfortunate." A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate's ear. McCain then said: "I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda."

Al Qaeda, of course, is a Sunni group. Iran is said to be arming Shiite militias.
Now -- this could have been a brain flub. Some vesicle unloading an errant amount of a neutrotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. Or whatever. We all make 'em. But certain flubs can't be made... and this is probably one of them.

It's the miracle of the SUUURRRGE! Sunni and Shia CAN get along, see?

Iran and Al Qaeda, BFF! What a fucking senile idiot he is. Or worse, he's deliberately lying.

6. Can't they?

I happen to believe that, when it comes to killing Westerners
in general and Americans in particular, Sunni and Shia
extremists can get along just fine.

Just in case any are lurking.

Of course if they have heard him state that 100 years more of the war and are still considering him, nothing short of lobotomy will change their mind.

He'll go into Iran, bet on it. Iran is NOT Iraq. They have an Army.

McLame will need a draft, as our Armed Forces are broken.

YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE IF HE GETS ELECTED.
