McCain: Watch that Iraq / Pakistan Border

As Barack Obama ventures into Iraq and Europe this week, John McCain continues to harp on his "lack of experience," particularly in terms of foreign policy. However, perhaps we need to focus on McCain's lack of memory. Just last week McCain spoke of Czechoslovakia, a country that hasn't existed since 1993. Today, on Good Morning, America, when asked by Diane Sawyer, McCain spoke of the situation in Afghanistan.

McCain obviously has a better idea of what strategies are needed.

Watch/close the border to insurgents crossing is key. Something that some old dogs saw in Vietnam.

BTW, didn't Obama's potential VP Sam Nunn say the same Czek comment last week? Yes.
Shall I find the quote and video?

The Iraq/Pakistan border?

Haha, that's a pretty bad gaffe, especially coming from someone who continually professes to be so extremely experienced in foreign affairs.

What's the big deal with McCain talking about Czechoslovakia?

Bush didn't know how to differentiate Slovenia from Slovakia and couldn't name the leaders of half the countries in the world (including some very important ones).

When Milosevic was banned from power in Servia, his only remark was "One less world leader with a name having more than a syllable I'll have to memorise".

Anyway, he got elected twice. Big blooper for McCain? Nah ... just a bit of history repeating!

They don't want to talk about McCain - they hate him. But they do hate Obama worse.
In their weird douchebaggery, the wingnuts hate everyone except Reagan and Jesus - both of whom they would nail on back onto a cross in a moment despite the fact each consorted with prostitutes - which got Clinton impeached.

While Sebnator Obama is showing the world that at least one POTENTIAL US president is intelligent, McSame should be paying less time on the negative (Obama) and accentuating the positive (McSame - if that is not an oymoron)

Show us that he is enthusiastic, non-bored, engaged, not an elitest man with a rich wife, and has the potential of being a true leader - and not a leftover Bush..
Use your time, McSame wisely ....

Not at all, Sam Nun is a front runner for Obama's VP search. Is he not?

Would his making such a comment on the now defunct Czechoslovakia automatically eliminate someone from a VP or Presidential race?

Absolutley not.

This is too easy... McCain is going to be the CinC when he doesn't know how to use a computer, don't know where a country is and doesnt't know where the troops are at?

Obama is the only person to choose when it comes to a good commander and chief, it's either him or a man that doesn't understand the world that he is living in.

Just another detraction from the criminals who are really doing us harm. Keep us worrying about stuff that makes no sense and is not TRUE so we don't see what is going on behind our backs and is of more importance. THIS IS BLOOD MONEY BY MCCAIN AND BLACK TAKING MONEY FROM COLUMBIAN DRUG KINGS! THIS MAN KNOWS EXACTLY WHO HE IS DEALING WITH AND DOESN'T CARE! CALL HIM ON THIS!

Face it. McCain is to old. He is definitely showing early signs of Dementia. He tries to BS himself out of the unknown and he puts his foot in his mouth every time. When you have PTSD as he does, as the troops coming home have, life is difficult until you die. WAR is hell on the physic.

Obama has his army of bots and BIG muslim money behind him, but the silent majority will give him the thumbs down on election day.

I know far more than you do and would be glad to show you where you are wrong -- which is just about everywhere. Butt-head! I don't mind you talking so much, as long as you don't mind me not listening. You are such a smart-aZ*Z, I bet you could sit on a tub of ice cream and tell me what flavor it is.
