		<description>According to Bush, the mission was accomplished in May 03.  Why have we not brought the troops how if that was true?  I think we are asking the wrong question.  Lets agree with the idiot, and convince him he was right.  (In the sense that he wanted to take down Saddam, he was right).  Lets just leave Iraq to its flower strewn streets and cheering crowds.</description>

		<description>#33-Questionauthority believes that Obama is &quot;... willing to give our troops the victory they won long ago...&quot; Pray tell, over whom was this &quot;victory&quot; accomplished, against the Iraqi resistance? The United States has about as much chance of obtaining victory over the Iraqis as they did of defeating the Vietnamese some forty years ago. It should also not be forgotten that this alleged anti-war candidate wishes to leave close to 100,000 troops in Iraq or in the region, even after his phased [not immediate] withdrawal is finally complete. It should be acknowledged that doing that will never win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.

Support the troops. Bring them home-All of them-now.</description>

		<description>Well, McCain it seems is conflating two different things. I dont know how one surrenders to a nation building campaign, which is odd because Iraq was declared sovereign by Bush. 

The war against terrorism is a much broader battle than Afghanistan or Iraq and the word terrorist could mean a drug smuggler from Mexico....

I really wish the candidates and the current occupier of Casa Blanca would differentiate between the two as getting out of Iraq has nothing to do with surrendering the war on a word.</description>

		<description>John McCain says he&#039;ll never surrender in Iraq; while having also said Barack Obama has wanted to surrender for some time.

This is the classic fubar, Rovewellian schtupping of the message into the public mindset.

Barack Obama doesn&#039;t want to surrender, he is simply willing to give our troops the victory they won long ago, the victory denied them by GW Bogus &amp; the Lie Factory; the victory McCain will continue to deny them!

How many times have we heard from military leaders, that there is no military solution in Iraq?  How many polls have shown the majority of the American people, the majority of the Iraqi people, and the majority of the Iraqi government WANT US OUT?
  
Our troops finished their job in Iraq long ago.  They have been denied victory so that GW Bogus &amp; the Lie Factory can use America&#039;s resources to exploit Iraq&#039;s resources. Period.  McCain will only continue the Lie Factory&#039;s policies.

OBAMA, OH EIGHT!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t get to the old version of McCain&#039;s webpage, so I suggest you fix that link.

Second, I was at that very webpage a couple of weeks ago, before his staff updated it.  The page also called for the implementation of a surge strategy.  The surge strategy began implementation in Feb-2007, which should tell anyone that McCain&#039;s webpage was woefully out of date, by at least 15 months.  McCain&#039;s pronouncements on troop levels have generally followed General Petraeus&#039;.  Last April, when Petraeus appeared before Senate committees, McCain agreed with the general&#039;s assessment that troops be reduced &#039;til mid-July, then paused for six weeks.

This isn&#039;t the &quot;gotcha&quot; that you&#039;re trying to portray.</description>

		<description>It is as simple as this:
Repugs need a contiuous supply of recruits, without which, they must draft or end the war (even THEY are too smart to try to reenact the draft). Weighing the risk of each, they must feel recycling troops to death is their safest bet, and keeping recruits from advancing is the safest way to keep them fighting.
Should these criminals decide to read between the lines, however, they would understand that the lack of NEW recruits directly reflects the utter disdain for this pointless war, and the lack of support for it.</description>

		<description>Lets talk about the 900 lies of the current admin JT. 

Better yet Ronald Reagan told Menachem Begin that he had personally helped liberate the death camps--when in fact he&#039;d only personally helped make a propaganda newsreel about doing so on a Hollywood lot.</description>

Nice observation. 

Republicans and libertarians don&#039;t do irony.

Irony is an adjective to them--it&#039;s how they describe the shirts their housebound wives give them before they go off to &#039;work&#039;. 

&quot;Say, this shirt sure is irony!&quot;</description>

Really dumb tangential question: How come it is vital for the internl peace and tranquility in Iraq to disarm the various factions

BUT

In the USA, the story is that, along with the Bill of Rights, an armed citizenry is vital to our internal peace and tranquility ?

And yet the NRA seems much more likely to support McCain (who is taking guns away from Iraqis) than the demo candidate.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Good question. Not sure if the answer is a variation of IOKIYAR or not.  Y&#039;know -- it; okay for US to have guns, but you folks... no.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;George Bush has never been seriously called-out for his knowledge of history (and geography) as a qualifier for his fitness to be President&lt;/strong&gt;: 

&quot;&lt;em&gt;That&#039;s a chapter, the last chapter of the 20th, 20th, the 21st century that most of us would rather forget. The last chapter of the 20th century. This is the first chapter of the 21st century.&lt;/em&gt; &quot; --George W. Bush, on the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Arlington Heights, Ill., Oct. 24, 2000 

&quot;&lt;em&gt;My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; —George W. Bush, who apparently forgot about a little something called World War II, Tokyo, Feb. 18, 2002

&quot;&lt;em&gt;This very week in 1989, there were protests in East Berlin and in Leipzig. By the end of that year, every communist dictatorship in Central America had collapsed&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 6, 2003

&quot;&lt;em&gt;America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness, and for the unalienalienable right of life&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2003

&quot;&lt;em&gt;I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. &lt;strong&gt;September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;It&#039;s a day I will never forget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; --George W. Bush, Marlton, &lt;strong&gt;New Jersey&lt;/strong&gt;, Oct. 18, 2004 

&quot;&lt;em&gt;The point now is how do we work together to achieve important goals. And one such goal is a &lt;strong&gt;democracy in Germany&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&quot; --George W. Bush, D.C., May 5, 2006</description>
