Tweety won't ask McCain how many al-Qaeda does he think there are in Iraq
Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 04:17 PM by NNN0LHI
Or how do we identify the Iraqis who are al-Qaeda from the ones who aren't?

Big huge softballs with no follow-up. Might as well have one of the Fox news knuckledraggers doing this "interview" if you can call it that? They might be tougher than Tweety?

Anyone else notice that?

1. Now that Tweety has stated he will go after Specters seat in 2010
the days of "hardball" are over. From here on out he will be looking to push up his favorables and and be ever-mindful of his base.

:puke:

2. I didn't watch it
Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 04:27 PM by Juche
But I would like to see these questions asked

1. Why do you claim you will follow OBL to the gates of hell but you won't follow him into the mountains of Pakistan, and have condemned Obama for offering to do so if there is actionable intelligence?

2. Only about 3-7% of fighters in Iraq are foreign born, and 45% of them are from Saudi Arabia. Knowing this, why do you focus on bombing Iran?

3. Seymour Hersh has found that the US is working with Saudi Arabia to secretly fund Sunni extremists who are linked to Al Qaeda to push back against the Shi'ites who have Iranian backing. Do you have a problem with funding a civil war faction with links to Al Qaeda to combat Iranian influence?

4. Why do you seem to confuse sunni and shi'ites?

5. In 1993 you said the US should unilaterally pull out of a civil war in Somalia, despite the fact that the civil war had tied to Al Qaeda. Now you are chastizing the democrats for wanting to pull out of Iraq. How do you rectify these two situations, as both involve foreign civil wars where Al Qaeda is present?

3. I actually loved his torture answer, and liked his position
on the war more than Hillary's. But that is an unfair comparison.

4. I didn't catch the torture answer did he admit he voted to allow it to continue?
Hillary says she wants to leave Iraq. McCain says he wants to stay for 100 years.

Are you in the 100 year camp?

He said the instant he was elected, he would close Gitmo. and not one person would ever be tortured by US people ever again. anywhere.
