McCain wants still another Iraq.

This idiot should have suffocated in Vietnam.

McCain proved that he would be one of the greatest Commanders in Chief in US history as a great war hero during Vietnam War and as experienced commander and strategist. McCain was right to say about the evil and ugly radical Islamic regime of Iran that "If someone is about to launch a weapon that would devastate America, or have the capability to do so, obviously, you would have to act immediately in defense of this nation's national security interests.”
McCain was right to say that President Bush mismanaged the war with his appeasement of the Iranian regime and without retaliation of the Iranian regime attacks on US troops that killed hundreds of our US troops with IEDs and EFPs roadside bombing, missiles and mortars.
McCain will manage the war in Iraq to achieve better results and will stop the Iranian aggression, defeat the Iranian regime and destroy his nuclear WMDs plants.
Clearly, Hillary Clinton would be clueless and incompetent as Commander in Chief and she is a defeatist loser that will endanger the security of the American people with her appeasement of Ahmadinajad.
Hillary will surrender to the evil Iranian regime nukes and dirty bombs, allowing Iran to take over the Middle east and 42% of the oil resources of the world and destroy Israel.

I think it is quite likely that we will strike Iran before the election if the polls show that McCain is going to lose.

If it's necessary for the defense of the US, then the President has my approval.

Better them and on their soil than my family on my soil.

Let's face it idiot, Iran has only interest to our Gov't., the same as Iraq-----O I L ! There is NO other reason our Gov't wants into either of these countries. They will fabricate and create terrorism to enhance the argument. Whatever it takes, I am sure!

Is this guy a idiot? How did he get nominated? Even though Bush said that McCain had a illegitamate black baby out of wedlock when they ran against each other, I bet Bush likes the way McCain is talking right now. Bin Laden always said he would bankrupt us into defeat...if the U.S keeps electing incompetant presidents he will get his wish and victory. McCain is old and senile but there will be fools out there that will vote for him because they keep voting for the same thing and expecting something new.

Guy you have fallen for the republican trick...make you scared for your life so you will vote for them while they will squander your money on other things besides the war. How about this, take a look at a world map, and look at Iraq or even Iran do you actually think they purpose a threat to us? Then look at the other "axis of evil" and tell me who is a bigger threat. Ya know, if you take the emotion out the thing 9/11 really didn't do that much damage if any to the US. they knocked down two buildings out of 3 billion in the US, and hit of all places the Pentagon where defense lives and we acted like they struck 30 of the 50 states with A bombs. I know how this sounds but here it goes, the American people can learn something from Bin Laden, as small as his group is he got the full attention of the US government we think, and his small group has changed our nation. Now think if we as americans which is way larger and hopefully smarter got together and targeted are own government for truth, and answers, and hold them responsible for all the tax dollars they waste on their pet projects or hobbies, pork spending. So their was a lesson to be learned from 9/11 but it had nothing to do with the ghost of Bin Laden, it is if you want to get the attention of our government you can't tap them on the shoulder you got to hit them with a sledge hammer.

Dude calm down, sounds like either you voted for Bush who has gotten 100's of millions from oil profits or a HillBill fan who has deals with the columbians and other overseas investment groups. Bottom line is they are politicians its what they do. I feel dumb for replying to your ignorant post.

McCain doesn't know Shiites from Sunnis. How would he know who to attack and why. He may have a senior moment and nuke Canada.

Having lived through the administrations from Truman to the present, I'd certainly rather have a man willing to take action in the Oval Office as opposed to a weenie like Carter that could do nothing other than sit and wring his hands while innocent Americans spent 444 days in captivity.

There should be a law preventing ignorent hayseeds like you from sharing your opinions. They would have all died at the hands of the Iranians had the US invaded them. Im sure you dont know the history about the Shah Of Iran and how he was proped up by our own government, and the resulting revolt by the Iranians. The neo-cons dont know how to negociate, just flex thier muscles and puff out thier chest, Just like Bush, and look where it got us.

But you'd rather lose 4000 soldiers in a war that didn't need to be fought... good trade off.

We do not currently have the troops or funds for an elective war. A draft would be necessary, and I don't think Americans have the stomach for a preemptive war fought with semi-willing young men and women.

“I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday did anybody else see or hear him? He was on FOX News, this is a white man, and he was upsetting the FOX News commentators to no end, he pointed out, a white man, an ambassador, he pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he said Americas chickens, are coming home to roost.”

“We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, Arikara, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism.

“We took Africans away from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism.

“We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.

“We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenage and toddlers, pregnant mothers and hard working fathers.

“We bombed Qaddafi’s home, and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your children’s head against the rock.

“We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to pay back for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hard working people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they’d never get back home.

“We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye.

“Kids playing in the playground. Mothers picking up children after school. Civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day.

“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff that we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

“Violence begets violence. Hatred begets hatred. And terrorism begets terrorism. A white ambassador said that y’all, not a black militant. Not a reverend who preaches about racism. An ambassador whose eyes are wide open and who is trying to get us to wake up and move away from this dangerous precipice upon which we are now poised. The ambassador said the people we have wounded don’t have the military capability we have. But they do have individuals who are willing to die and take thousands with them. And we need to come to grips with that.” 2001

Oh yeah that was Rev. Wright's full sermon that Fox used to paint him as a anti american racist...how else do you repubs will get votes, I got it tell half stories.

1. Hillary will not win the Democratic nomination
2. John McCain is more scary than the current Regime. John McCain is a war lord, and shoots before he thinks.
He has now wrongly, on a public stage, said 5 times that Iran is funding the miniscule force of al Qaida in Iraq. They are not.
Iran IS funding the Shiite militia in this CIVIL WAR as Iran is Shiite.
The war on terror is in Afghanistan!!

With such insight, you and Mean Eugene should be in the diplomatic corps, negotiating for our country......

One of you makes a presumption based on a screen name and ISP location, the other presumes that I endorse the current conflict in Iraq, both equally wrong.

The comment regarding why the South lost the Civil War is as on the mark as the rest of your post...presumptive and ignorant of history.
