How awesome is this? McCain becomes unhinged trying to smear Obama
Any withdrawal of troops from Iraq "must be based on conditions on the ground," McCain told reporters as he stood beside the 84-year-old former president.

The Arizona senator disparaged Obama as "someone who has no military experience whatsoever."

"When you win wars, troops come home," McCain said. "He's been completely wrong on the issue. ... I have been steadfast in my position."

On Afghanistan, McCain said, "I've always said it's long and tough and hard."

As to Iraq, "We've succeeded. We're not succeeding, we've succeeded," McCain said later at a fundraiser.

11. The Obama/McCain debate will be like the male version of pitting Emily Dickinson against Emily
Litella.

2. Yeah, Obama is pissing him off big time.
He's definitely getting to McCain.

3. Obama should just argue that we've already won in Iraq
Will McCain disagree?

4. I hate how hypocritical these SOB's are
they smeared the hell out of Kerry being in the Vietnam War, but give nothing but accolades to this POS McCain. What hypocrites.

watch out what you say John, the occupier of the WH has no war experience either

The Arizona senator disparaged Obama as "someone who has no military experience whatsoever."

6. Part of bush's military "experience" was dishonorable
Deserting your military unit to avoid a drug test is certainly something to be proud of. It must be a conservative value.

7. "I've ALWAYS said it's long and tough and hard."...
Edited on Tue Jul-22-08 09:11 AM by tuvor
Except when he said, "I think the victory will be rapid, within about three weeks." (MSNBC, 1/28/03)

Except when he said, "It’s clear that the end is very much in sight. … It won’t be long. It, it’ll be a fairly short period of time." (ABC, 4/9/03)

Except when he said, "We’re either going to lose this thing or win this thing within the next several months." (Meet The Press, 11/12/06)

13. You have to realize that when he said, "It won’t be long. It, it’ll be a fairly short period
of time," it was being compared to the 109 years he's already lived.

EVERYTHING is a short period of time, in comparison.

8. "We've succeeded." So, that's different from winning?

16. Precisely: If we've succeeded, then can't the troops come home?
Or do they only get to come home for the exact, right, McThuselah-approved reason and not for anything so esoteric as being successful?

9. This pudgy fuck head is just retarded.
It's becoming clearer to me every day that when John McCain was a POW, he was punched in the head, a LOT! This guy would be the death blow to our position in the world, and our country. I want to invent a John McCain doll that whenever it talks, or makes noise, you stomp it's ass to shut it up.



John McCain, please just shut the fuck up. I can barely tolerate the knowledge that you're still breathing sometimes. You are a worthless candidate, and you should just go to bed, for a long, long time...

17. His VP choice had damned well better have military experience
if he's dissing Obama for not having any. Mitt doesn't. Jindal doesn't.

21. Did Congress declare war on Iraq this morning?
I must have missed it.

Hey Gramps, you don't WIN an (illegal) occupation, you end it.

23. What Does McCain Know About Winning Wars?
Someone should remind him that we didn't win doodle in Vietnam.
