Iraq nowadays does not fall under any of world standards in anything and that includes daily death and murders.
So if 30 people killed in an Iraqi city in one day,few homes and cars blown out, that’s considered ‘quiet’ day in Iraq according to McCain.
If everything so quiet,then why we keep sending more troops to Iraq?
That’s good enough for him to claim ‘The Surge is working’.
And if McCain wins the Presidency, he will sell us another ‘quiet’ war with Iran.

I’m usually first in line to rip McCain, but on this one, he’s right.
It IS quiet.
After all the bombings, people are huddling inside and keeping their voices down.
He said “quiet”, not “safe.”
Let’s judge him on what he actually says for a change.

McCain is not in good health, if you read between the lines of his doctors reports, they say he is in “adequate health”.
That’s similar to saying G W Bush’s mental capacities are “adequate”.

It’s hard to imagine McCain surviving the campaign, much less even a single term in office.

Basra, Mosul and now Sadr city are quiet…

John, if you can’t hear the bombs, turn up your hearing aid.

I saw a clip of him spouting his crap last night…He looks like he’s dying. His face looks like that of a burn victim. What the hell will he look like after 4 or 8 years of bringing us more war?

LMAO, I honestly can’t believe ANYONE would take McCain seriously. Half the time McCain just doesn’t have a single clue. Such a joke. He should change his title from Senator to Dictator Brown Nose. LOL.

Leave the old codger alone, the press reported only part of his quote. What grampy McLame really said was, “Basra, Mosul and now Sadr city are quiet :::under his breath:::: when viewed from my mansion in Arizona”.

Ah, the perfect quiet of the cemetery, the Bush cemeteries scattered across Afghanistan and Iraq, and even a couple in western Pakistan. Heck of a war criminal, Mr. Bush.

I have read that as one ages, one first loses hearing in the highest ranges of tones, as the high-pitched squeaks of the Hummingbirds. Since McCain seems to be almost totally deaf to any kind of real sound or thought, I guess that he is well on his way to total obliviousness. Actually, that’s been the Way of the GOP for the last eight years…

sure all of Iraq is quiet since the GOP US corporate media stopped reporting on what was happening. If a tree falls in the forest and no hears it…according to mccain it proves that it didn’t actually fall.

Other than being clueless on the conditions, Grumpy also went on to claim: “I can look you in the eye and tell you it’s succeeding. We have drawn down to pre-surge levels.” !!!!!YIKES!!!!

hummmmm . . . seems McSame has maybe lost track of the counting PROCESS . . . . 140,000 NOW, pre “Surge” was 130,000 – but who counts facts? No sense in changing the game plan now . . . .

McCain is a “Maverick in His Own Mind”. And nowhere else.

trust me, i don’t carry a brief for mccain, but respectfully suggest that think progress writers try not to fall into the very trap of context-free blogging that your counterparts in traditional news journalism do… “quiet” is relative as you can see by looking at my day yesterday in kabul, a day in which a suicide bomber also perpetrated an attack…

…Basra, Mosul and now Sadr city are quiet…

The only thing that’s quiet is the inside of McCain’s empty head.

Let’s send him back there for some Mosul carpet shopping without the aircraft and other escorts this time.
