You said it. I also live in AZ. Flagstaff actually

The only “benefit of the doubt” that I think applies is that McStain has a short attention span, and speaks before he thinks.

Either way, he makes for a very bad CiC.

PEACE

You have to admit if he didnt speak BEFORE he thought it would most likely end up in him never speaking at all. He just isnt the swiftest calf in the pasture

The problem they face is that under present conditions Congress is not about to pass a draft, the American people are not about to put up with one, and conscripted soldiers are unlikely to be cooperative. So how do they change this situation?

Clearly their plans require some kind of event or situation that will dramatically change the way people are thinking. This will require something that at least matches – or perhaps tops – 9/11.

A further problem they face is that a majority now doubts their story about 9/11 and their justifications for the Iraq war. The options they have for dealing with this are to either have the event be something so scary that most people will panic and put aside their doubts, or something that will justify taking actions to shut down debate and discussion. Or both.

There are many possible scenarios, and there is no way to know which the Overlords will choose, when they will strike or whether there is a chance that their scheme can be thwarted. But the logic of the situation, and signals such as McCain’s remarks, strongly point to the likelihood that the Overlords will try something big, soon.

We need to do everything in our power to expose and block their schemes and deceptions, now, while we can. Failing that, we need to be prepared to keep our own heads – and those of the people around us – clear, and to preserve ourselves and them from getting caught up in media-fanned hysteria and lies, and the natural urge to join the “bandwagon”. Furthermore, we need to be looking at how we will stay in communication with our networks and with each other under much more difficult conditions.

I suggest that Chuch Todd is afraid to say anything truthful about Mccain because of what happened to Andrea when she did. She mentioned that perhaps mccain wasn’t in the cone of silence.

Well, he not only wasn’t in the cone of silence, BUT, he was in a limo with Charlie Black a lobbyist with Burson Marstellar, the same lobbying firm that lobbies with the military dictatorship in Columbia, as well as Charlie Black and his CEO partner of Burson-Marsteller lobbying to buy the gangster voting paper-less machines used in 2000 and 2004 and 2008 presidential elections.

McCain does **NOT** support a draft. McCain is gonna raise the number of military in Afghanistan and, on the advice of his advisers (who happen to be paid lobbyists of Georgia – although that is irrelevant) is gonna put us defending Georgia.

Simple math – where are the troops going to come from ? The Troop Fairy ?

So, what’s benefit of doubt when it comes to signing coerced statements obtained under acts of torture?

“It’s O.K. when Johnny McTorture does it… but one of those Gitmo detainees… that’s a different story.

RUCerious Says:

When is ANYONE going to ask him what “win” the war in Iraq actually means.

I’d like to see someone, anyone, ask him what he means by

“I know how to win wars and I know how to win this one”

and

“I know how to capture Osama bin Laden”

I heard a clip yesterday, where he said that both he and obama want to end the conflict and bring the troops home, but the difference is that mccain wants to win, and obama doesn’t care. does this even make sense? especially in light of the fact that *no one has defined “victory”*?

I also heard some discussion about how bush himself has said in the past that there’s no way to define “winning” in the war on terror. Which of course is exactly the point: start a war against a nebulous, geographically undefined enemy, based on vague principles as well as outright lies, to benefit corporate entities in perpetuity. If you can’t win the war on terror, you just go on fighting it forever, precluding peace and reconciliation.

he can say stuff like he’s said above because it’s completely irrelevant and therefore you can’t prove him wrong:

“I know how to win wars” = I know how to get shot down.
“I know how to win this one” = By declaring victory and getting the hell out. It’s not a war, it’s an occupation, and you can’t *win* an occupation unless everyone else leaves.
“I know how to capture Osama bin Laden” = But apparently george bush never asked me how to do it. Oh, that’s right, he doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about UBL. He spends more time closing down the task force that’s been chasing him for years.

SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW??

The McCain campaign just released this statement in response to McCain’s comment about reinstituting the draft:

Let us just go there and give McCain the benefit of the doubt as to what he might have thought he was agreeing to. However, John McCain does not speak for the McCain campaign, so it is impossible for us to know what he was talking about.

That’s what I want to hear every time someone says Obama got the nomination through affirmative action.

“It’s past time for the media to STOP giving McCain the benefit of the doubt.”

it’s also past time for Obama to come out swinging!
i have no doubt that if the election were held today, McBraindead would win. Obama needs to go on the offensive and he needs to act NOW! show no mercy, gawddammit! McBraindead has given him PLENTY of material to work with!
DO SOMETHING!!!!
Geesh!

We can’t have that. We need to keep it close to keep the viewers coming and the sponsors paying.

What a crock. McCain has said several times that he would consider the draft and has not made any plans for mandatory national service.

McWars question makes no sense.

Mission accomplished: I have fluently spoken your language.

Now, excuse me while I dehypnotize myself back to reality.
