Well, gee whiz since McCain says Iraq is now a “stable and peaceful country” our troops can go ahead and leave. No need to wait until 2011. Right, McCain?

Senile –
adj.

3. Geology. Worn away nearly to the base level, as at the end of an erosion cycle.

Yep, that’s McCain!

McCain gets it–he’s just willing to lie through his straight-talk-express teeth to get to the top of a stinking, repugnant pile.

In kindergarten maybe. The new trolls are even dumber than the old trolls. Pathetic.

These guys are correct- McCain is dead wrong & ridiculous on almost every issue, but his statements on Iraq are so delusional, how can anyone think this man can run a country? McCain is either an arrogant, pathological liar, or so out to lunch that he actually believes what he says. In either case, totally unfit, and anything but a leader. How he dares to criticize anyone else is beyond me.

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520

——————————————————————————–

This information is current as of today, Thu Aug 28 17:14:09 2008.
IRAQ
June 13, 2008

This Travel Warning updates the current security situation and reiterates the dangers of the use of civilian aircraft and of road travel within Iraq. This supersedes the Travel Warning of July 23, 2007.

The Department of State continues to strongly warn U.S. citizens against travel to Iraq, which remains very dangerous.
Despite recent improvements in the security environment, Iraq remains dangerous, volatile and unpredictable. Attacks against military and civilian targets throughout Iraq continue, including in the International (or “Green”) Zone.

Whew! I am so glad traditional media outlets, in which millions of voters rely on to get needed information about the candidates, will never get a hold of this story.

How far do his misrepresentations have to go before some one actually calls him on it, reports this mess. He doesn’t understand the most basic facts about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; or worse, he no longer has the mental acuity to articulate his understanding.

Will they excuse what you know are going to be awful debate performances?

Schröd-user’s cat
Theory that states that if McCain describes a country as a ‘Happy, Fun place to be and live and completly safe!’ and another politician of the opposite party say ‘That statement has no basis in objective reality.’
Then the country exists in a middle-state until a McCain camp operative clarifies the original statement.

McCain’s rose view of Iraq = A noun, a verb, and POW. Very out of touch of reality. By the way, at the age of 19, Rep. Ellison converted from Catholicism to Islam. So, Mr. Ellison was not born a Muslim.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Ellison_(politician)

But, I agree with Wexler and Ellison: McCain is just plain out of touch on his assessment of Iraq.

I say the United States is in the Northern hemisphere.
Someone else says the United States is in the Southern hemisphere.

You conclude the United States is on the equator.

I just hope McCain chooses someone like Dick Cheney for VP. Ya know, someone who will start a war to really increase the profits of his former investment, while winning the contract by default.

nanlichi Says:

users, this thread’s subject is the comparison of two statements that are polar opposites. One, McShitforbrains said that Iraq was a stable and peaceful country, and two, Wexler and Ellison said that it is not peaceful and stable.

Which of those two statements best fits the reality of Iraq today?

So they’re polar opposites, the truth is simply in the middle….

“I guess if in fact he’s right then why do we have 150,000 troops there? We ought to bring them all home as quickly as possible even under his logic. “

Dead on. Best way to address that in my opinion.
