McCain Adviser: Facts on Iraq Undermine Our Troops

[siavash8p]

What a cunt. It is the most intellectually dishones practice to reduce a complex 5 year war to 5 simple letters of s-u-r-g-e. And obviously when you are called out, you are against the troops, or the infamous POW card is thrown at your face.

"P pushed an evang. agenda in Was'a. "She wanted p'ple who believed in creat'ism on the [school] b'rd. I said, 'How can you believe in crea'ism your father's a science t'er.' She said, 'We don't have to agree on ev'thing.' I pushed her on earth's cre'n, whether dinos and p'ple walked earth at same time. She said yes, she'd seen dino fossils with h'mn footprints in them." Did she believe in "End of Days"? "She looked in my eyes, 'Yes, I think I'll see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime'."

the awakening started in 06 and was gaining momentum by 07. It's bitches like this who are undermining the Iraq people for doing the right thing. She's propagating the lie that we did it all. lolololol what a dumb bitch. We may have laid the KO blow but we didn't win the fight alone, not even close. I think this is all another "mission accomplish" and we will all snicker at "the surge worked" in a couple months when thousands more people die because that's what happens when you destroy a country

Jedi mind trick....the surge is working...the surge is working...

George W. Bush said the war in Iraq would be a long hard war, but worth it. McCain should have credit, the Republicans, the Troop Commanders should all have credit for the successes in Iraq. Who knew Iraq wasn't an imminent threat? Obama?

[proofset666]

I agree they deserve more credit than they are getting, but imminent threat? NOBODY was saying that except for the bush administration. Give me a break. Suspicion of chemical weapons programs, but it was very, very well known he had no nuke program, which is the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS.

[skids7682]

You know the sad thing about this is McCain is trying to take credit for the success of the Awakening, which the troops that were there before the surge did so much to help along (I mean, someone had to pass out the bribes and perform the negotiations, that was good work they did there to restore order.)

Along comes McCain claiming that "the Surge" strategy (which he tries to claim credit for) as possible, was what did the trick. I'd prefer if the pre-surge troops got the credit they deserved.

[catfishmaccabee]

It astonishes me that the wingnuts can't have a discussion without blaming everyone they disagree with for "wanting to lose" or "Disrespecting the troops".

No wonder they're gonna get shellackled come November

[mannemalon]

The GOP is quite audacious, as they continually use the great service of our men and women as their personal pawns whenever they can't logically defend themselves against a self-inflicted wound in a debate.

They use the troops rhetorically like they do literally. As pawns to further their own personal aspirations, at the expense of country and world. Sick sick beings.

It will be great as we move forward and fully cleanse ourselves of these lunatics who will be relegated to the fringe.

[mannemalon]

lol, more nonsense from Republicans. And they wonder why their brand is "radioactive" and "if it was a dog food, it would be taken off the shelves" (Republican's own words).

stop the ridiculous arguments, argue real facts if you want to salvage what remains of your pathetic party.

[mannemalon]

The GOP must've been salivating when they saw this woman for the first time. A decently attractive, decently articulate WOMAN (notice how all their strategists on TV these days are woman or of color? Image makeover, maybe?) who can spew absolute bullshit through her teeth without flinching = *DROOL*

[darkally]

who is this stooge? she is full of talking points...

[dafttool]

The GOP have never let facts get in the way of spinning their version of the truth. Just watch how they change the justifications for starting the Iraq War, as if we all have short-term memory loss not knowing what they said the week, month, or year before. This is just an extension of that, rewriting our history.

[thecreammaster1]

CNN, MSNBC, and other "left" news channels are absolutely Pro McCain. Every source will speak of the Liberal Bias or the favoritism towards Obama while they bash him. I can't wait until he wins and trust busts the media corporations.

[GBTRU]

Wow spin spin spin. This is what this campaign has to do everyday, because John McCain does not know what he is talking about, that or he is a confused old man with memory issues.

[dogstar7]

Did I just hear Pfotenhauer openly claim that Sen. Obama and "his followers" are "undermining our troops"???

How dare she!!!

Why do we tolerate people like Pfotenhauer slandering other Americans like that?!!

What have we come to, as a nation, when our friends and neighbors are charged with DISLOYALTY TOWARD OUR ARMED FORCES simply for exercising their political choice!!!
