Kind of looks like Hagee’s eschatological cartoon apocalypse time line.

Barack Obama should choose someone like General Wesley Clark, General Zinni, General Batiste, General Abizaid, General Newbold, or any of the other high ranking officers that were forced from duty because of disagreements with policy. That would trump McCain’s so called expertise. If he did that, it would pull the rug out from under John McCain and leave him with not a single issue where he can make even plausible false claims.

Let’s get this straight — THE SURGE DID NOT WORK AT ALL. During the buildup of the surge (when violence should have been going down if it had anything to do with the surge), Jan 2007-August 2007, was the BLOODIER THAN ANY YEAR IN THE CONFLICT.

When Muqtada Al Sadr declared a VOLUNTARY cease fire, the violence magically stopped. Well, guess what, Sadr is re-constituting a new army with one goal of kicking out the US from THEIR country. Things will probably be getting worse. How often do you ever hear about the cease fire? Yeah, must have been McCain’s doing.

It looks to me, that they have a much better chance of reducing violence on their own. All we do is instigate the violence while helping other terrorist organizations recruit.

Bu-Bye Bye, Johnny, we really won’t miss you when you’re gone in November.

The Republic convention should be a real humdinger. After officially proclaiming Grampy McCorpse their candidates, the party honchos will go into hiding to plan the 2012 campaign. I find it amusing that he is just a throwaway and doesn’t even know it.

The McSurge:

I’m always a little right on the subject, even when I’m off base because I have friends like Joe LIARman to correct me.

The McSurge-aliscious history of Senator Johnny McTorture…

Does it include his support of the Anti-Habeas Corpus MCA of 2006 bill?

hmmm – those words next to mccain’s head look a little strange – i thought that the whole point of going in there and ‘making progress’ was to dispose of a cruel dictator who had nukes….or to liberate the people….or encourage democracy….or establish a government of the people…i guess the “FIGHTING ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS!!!” is the consequence of deciding what is good for another country you know absolutely nothing about.

So, Johnny Boy wants to now own Dubya’s ego war, which has the popularety of, say a terminal case of hemorrhoids. That by itself should tell us all we need to know about his intellect and common sense.

Bu-Bye Bye, Johnny, we really won’t miss you when you’re gone in November.

That timeline just highlights how limited McCains knowledge is. more troops.. more troops

Yes of course there were too few troops, the generals knew that long before the invasion. But apparently McCain only realized that after the insurgency started and it became clear that his rosy predictions of a quick easy victory was way off.

McCains only solution in Iraq is the military . More violence -> More troops. Less violence -> Troops stay a 100 years. But the military is not a solution. The surge didnt solve anything.

And what if this extremely unpopular security-treaty is forced down the throat of the Iraqis and all hell breaks loose again? Will McCain simply rewind and replay his broken record routine “more troops.. more troops.. more troops”? If so where the hell is he gonna get more troops??

Aided and abetted by the conservative echo chamber, John McCain has launched a campaign to rewrite his dismal history of faulty forecasts and disastrous predictions on Iraq. Demonstrating that experience is truly no substitute for judgment, John McCain like President Bush was sadly wrong at almost every turn in promoting the invasion and occupation of Iraq. From his predictions of a short war and claims U.S. troops would be greeted as liberators to his announcements of mission accomplished, his ongoing confusion over friend and foe in Iraq and so much more, McCain’s is an unbroken legacy of error.

For the details, see:
“McCain and Friends Rewrite History on Iraq.”

Nevar,

You’re welcome. I was disappointed that they cut away as soon as Obama started to speak. It’s that librul media again!

The McCain Surge ??
McCain’s campaign is reaching to the very bottom of political hack when it attempts to lay claim to not only having the idea for a surge (OK, let’s give him that), but then to actually name the damn thing after himself?!

What a complete fool this makes him out to be, and worse yet, his pandering to that element of voter that would believe this crap, makes the U.S. look like a bunch of fools. Who the hell they got workin’ over at the McCain HQ? What a bunch of morons.

4. Nevar – I had been wondering why McCain would want to orate against Obama. At least this starts showing some of the reasoning.

But really, how bad must the neocon be that Fox outs them ? I mean, MSNBC I could see. CNN maybe. But so egregious that Fox outed him ?

Ooops, “senior moments” and “early-onset senility moments.” Sorry, I think I just had one of these myself.

Obviously Sen. McCain is having another one of those “senior movements,” or what I like to call “early-onset senility.” Or at least, the people running his website are having one of these moments.
