McConnell Rushes to Defend McCain from "100 Years" Attack

[Cleareye10]

McConnell can try to spin this anyway he likes, McCain said it- period! 100 years of occupation in Iraq, that's what we have to look forward to with McCain. God help us! McConnell is living in a dream world. He's big oil's man in the Senate, he's Cheney's weak-kneed puppet, he's Bush's hand maiden in Congress. He knows nothing about energy policy, needs, future stress points- nothing! Prissy Mitch is having a hissy fit about oil and occupations. Too bad.

[hartman8883]

Your an idiot... McCain did not say that, he did not mention occupation... He said as long as American troops were not in danger...

I am glad Obama won but uninformed voters like you are a disgrace to our country and the political process...

[wiskawind]

McConnell is a Republican Bush-Dog! We the people need to vote every Republican warmongering Bush-dog OUT OF A JOB!

They are filling their pockets while over four thousand of America's next generation are filling their GRAVES!

NO MORE BUSH, no more McBush!

[fieroyates]

just one more nail in reelection coffin of McConnell

[cobwebhead]

From Hendrik Hertzberg: "what the context shows, I think, is that yanking that sound bite out of context isn't really all that unfair. McCain wants to stay in Iraq until no more Americans are getting killed, no matter how long it takes and how many Americans get killed achieving that goal -- that is, the goal of not getting any more Americans killed. And once that goal is achieved, we'll stay."

[Visfen]

"the mainstream media who has not been particularly friendly to war"

yeah?

Should the be friendly to war, what is his problem with their position on not-wanting-people-to-die?

[ambientdiscord]

that quote is completely ridiculous to begin with too because the MSM did their best to sell us the war and they still maintain a bias to keep it going.

[impietease]

The Bush Administration, and Congressional Republicans have not been particularly friendly to the truth.

[Visfen]

I've noticed that. This liberal bias that they are talking about all the time, is that not int fact simply factual bias? The more and more I see of the American media the more that seems to be true.

The Iraq body count is a good example, they still refuse to accept the accurate estimates of somewhere in the numbers of 600 000 and are steadfast with the Iraq Body Count who only counts people recorded as dead in the media (I didn't know deaths were dependent on media coverage)

[R0SEBUD789]

Wow, I just love all the arm chair quarter-backing "experts" who've never served a day in their lives in the militay. It's just breathtaking how many comments are from people arguing with each other on the way it absolutely is and what will absolutely happen in the future. Why don't y'all join the armed services if you care as much as you say you do? I'll just admit, I don't know sh*t. lol

[acseeley]

The problem with this line of reasoning is that the people who are in the military are forced to be biased. They have to support the president because they are bound contractually to do so. To claim that somehow the grunt on the ground has superior insight into the question of should we stay in Iraq or not and how long, is absurd.

[impietease]

I am astounded by what is implied in your liberal disparagement; that the right-side of the political bipolarity is the side closer to truth, justice and The American way. It's as if you have been comatose for 7 1/2 years, unaware of the damage done to the Nation by The Public Potty Peepers' Party Gone Wild in D.C.

Since your post also implies that you were or are a member of the U.S. Military, I ask you:

Just What Part of

"Against All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic"

Do You Not Understand?

[94fordtaurus]

McConnell is either lying or he doesn't watch television, as McCain has parroted "I don't care if we're in Iraq for 100 years" on several occasions. McCain said as much during his most recent 60 Minutes interview.

[iconhkhk]

Most McCain supporters don't even know where Iraq is located.

[expatted]

Bomb bomb bomb Iran.  Another 100 years in Iraq. Wave flag here.

[ghostoftheyellowdog]

Yea, now explain the "Bomb Iran" song.

[shaire99]

Repubes are pathetic hypocritical Losers. They do stick together in this gigantic clusterfuck however.

[unwashablebrain]

mcconnell was probably promised a cabinet position to do this...isn't that political prostitution?

[SaveOurSovereignty]

It's going to take alot of brave American soldiers lives to make it to McCain's "No casualty Occupation"

American policy is nothing more than a witch hunt.

Through this foreign policy the only way to have true National security is to run the world.

Its sure madness

[dustynbones]

Actually, you Republicans should be nominating Ron Paul.

[mcalien24]

McConnell is right about McCains statements. although by McCains own logic in those statements, the troops should be withdrawn now. as he said we should stay, so long we arent being attacked. well we are being attacked.

However, Mr. McConnell, to say that the MSM has not been favorable to the war is ridiculous.

[94fordtaurus]

McConnell is either lying or doesn't watch much television--his buddy McCain keeps trotting that same "100 years in Iraq" idea himself.

[neverlookback75]

Dude, I hate McCain, but even I know what he was saying. He was saying, we'd have military folks there, just like we have all over the world. I can't wait for him to go down, but I'd rather it be over substantive issues.

[bildoreilly]

Forget about McCain's mythical 100 years of peaceful deployment, how many more years and how many more soldiers lives is he willing to sacrifice waiting for his 100 years of happy time to start?

And why isn't he willing to pay for any of it if it's so important? Why keep charging it all onto the national debt?

Neo-cons support the war in Iraq alright, they just don't want to go fight it and they sure as hell don't want to pay for any of it.

Their battle cry is "Charge it!"

[Unkn0wnGuy]

The fact remains, the US is an occupying force in the middle east. The Iraqis will fight against this for generations, much like the Palestinians against Israel, and the US will go broke long before they achieve their so-called goals. Sorry folks, just my prediction and a little dose of history mixed with reality.

[AmericaOwnz]

I'd be willing to bet most liberals agree with Harry Reid's assessment that McCain actual meant 100 years of combat in Iraq.

Either Reid is clueless on how our military operates or he's deliberately trying to misrepresent what McCain very clearly stated (repeatedly), or its both.

The fact that liberals engage in such intentional, malicious twisting of words demonstrates their propensity for dishonesty. It also shows their perception/reasoning is severely flawed and they are unfit to lead.

[AmericaOwnz]

Additionally, the idea of 100 years of war-fighting in Iraq is utterly absurd (not just in cost/lives but also in its aim), anyone with half-a-brain can understand that. Only a fool would say something like this and mean it or hear it and take it seriously (liberals).

Either McCain a presidential candidate with a long record of service has lost his marbles or his detractors are trying to pin him on something they misunderstood. Its obvious to anyone with a rational mind. Liberals are the herd.

[NanaHall55]

Awarded the 2nd most worse person in the World for this statement!

Ditch Mitch 2008 Vote Lunsford 2008! Mitch you are in for the fight of your life! KY is not behind you anymore!

"100 years in Iraq.

McCain has promised to keep America in Iraq for 100 years. Those are his own words. He has said it many many times. He did not misspeak. The videos are here on YouTube. Check it out for yourself.

100 years in Iraq."

Yeah but we're not supposed to quote Republicans like John Sydney McCain III because quoting them is like an attack. lol

[bildoreilly]

"Victory" in Iraq will be declared only after their state-owned oil production is privatized, or liberated if you will.

And does Senator John Sydney McCain III want to keep our troops fighting in Iraq for the next 100 years waiting for another 100 years of peaceful troop deployments?

How many lives is he willing to spend? How much more money is he willing to borrow?

[codediporpal]

We stayed in Germany and Korea to defend an idealogical ally. Mr McCain answer this:

Which side will be we staying to defend for 100 years: The Baathist Sunnis (who we overthrew), or the Iranian leaning Shiites (who you believe are our enemy)?

Answer that, and we'll leave you alone.

[RideTheLightning1989]

This man is full of shit. John McCain said that he'd be okay with US troops being in Iraq for 100 years. He never said whether they'd be under attack, so don't assume he meant that they'd stay only if it were peaceful.

[codediporpal]

RideTheLightning1989,

Everybody is aware of this distinction you pointed out. The point is McCain is committed to the 'cause' of Iraq NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. I don't even know what the "cause" is! Do you??!! "WMD". Nope. Democracy. Nope. Are we aligned with Baathist Sunnis or Iranian leaning Shiites? The 'surge' has really been about US alignment with the former Baathist, who went to Iraq to overthrow!!

[stealth63]

Actually, Reid said exactly what Mcsame said. You can try to deflect this by defending some straw man, but McCain said he see an indefinite deployment in Iraq, and more damaging, thinks it will be just like Korea, which is ridiculous. (People walking around in flak jackets in Seoul, John?)

[Djronan1]

Republican lies. I'd rather be a tax and spend liberal than a spend and borrow Republican.

[MooseOfReason]

You don't leave toys spread around your room if you're not playing with them.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

News analysis of all major media in the run up to war showed almost no questioning voices anywhere. Bill Moyers demonstrated that disproving the administration's case would've been neither time-consuming, difficult, nor expensive. Bored experts were standing by ready to shoot it to pieces. When the same people who control the media make the weapons, the public's interest can't be served. The Iraq War is a disaster, but good luck finding that out.

[unwashablebrain]

QUOTE OF THE YEAR: voting for mccain is like chickens voting for colonel sanders!

[jaekent]

Maybe McConnell should go the way of Rep. Paul Gilmore ( Ohio ) ..

[mandoelpaso]

Ok guys stop with the ideology of republicans and democrats, its plain and simple after seeing this video Mitch McConnell is talking from his a**,talking in tongues and making no sense just trying to confuse us all what he just mentioned himself

[cleftronix]

Mitch McConnel! Bahahaha, what a joke! Another fake conservative who is really a liberal! Illegal aliens amnisty, and outscourcing jobs and Pro Bush/NAFTA kind of guy. Just like Graham and other fake conservatives who are really just globolists /neocons, they will get thrown out of office. Kentucky is tierd of being shamed by this flim flam man!

[2025DPlaza]

The Corporate Media (all secretly conservative)want Barack Obama to Win so that average Americans can lose.

John McCain will win v. Obama and we the middle class, will continue to burn into dust. Why? Because stupid little boys who think they are men, think it's cool that he is a WAR hero. We will see how you like it when your kids tell you that you contributed to the downfall of the United States, if we get to see the day. McCain will start WWIII and we will all get drafted.

Hillary 08'

[Whoo69]

We wouldn't like it if Iraq invaded the US, overthrew Bush, and then occupied this nation until conflict ended with insurgents, and then they kept a residual force here against our wishes. Lol. Permanent bases in Iraq. It's obvious we don't really give a damn about the Iraqis with all this contracting, not letting them have full access to their own oil reserves, taking over their streets and cities with troop presence, and not getting out when they want us to leave.

[Whoo69]

If we further expand American empire to Iraq, what does that say about "the mission"? Has it really been accomplished? Will the Iraqis truly be free knowing there's a foreign military right in their backyard, able to possibly overthrow one of their future governments at any given time or coerce them into not doing things that might piss us off?

[Whoo69]

Plus, Iraq is not a dictatorship that's about to invade and conquer its neighbors, like some theorize about N. Korea, so having troop presence after conflict is over is totally unnecessary. It's just speculation-based then. Fearmongering, if you will. I'm so fucking sick of American hegemony with all these bases and military deployments. What's the use?? Why have troops in democratic nations that aren't our own?? Don't you think it pisses THEM off? Don't they have sovereignty?

[Whoo69]

Why do we even need troops in 100 years just as some provisional force "just in case" anyway?? If the Iraqi democracy succeeds, won't it have changed and strengthened a lot by even a few decades from now?? The troop deployments for 50 or 100 years will be a waste of time and money. Rather than trying hard to recruit so many new people in the military, even recruiting people with certain crimes in their background, why not just bring all these troops home in 700 bases??

[Whoo69]

Besides, what would S. Korea have to gain from uniting with the impoverished North under a dictator as one nation?? Sure, N. Korea could gain a lot, but S. Koreans who want reunification immediately (at this point im time) must be morons.

[Whoo69]

If there is no more fighting, what's the point of keeping troops there long after?? Is it to "prevent terrorists from coming back in and fighting" or some stupid nonsense theory like that? Oh yeah, I'm sure that's a HUGE deterrent to Kim Jong Il taking over S. Korea. Please! I'm sure the man doesn't really give 2 shits about whether we have troops at the dmz or really care about taking over s. korea anymore. Korean War was 50 YEARS AGO!! I think they've pretty much given up that pipe dream

[Whoo69]

I don't give 2 shits, frankly, if McCain was referring to 100 years of war in Iraq or simple deployments like the DMZ in Korea. The fact is, we'll still have troops in Iraq, rather than giving the Iraqis full sovereignty! How the fuck is that giving them freedom and democracy if we're gonna keep our troops there long after the original occupation is done?? What if they want us gone? Has that thought even occurred to Johnny Mac? Or is he one of those "We know best" idiots?

[Weaseldog2001]

Freedom is slavery

Ignorance is Strength

[foley15136]

Newspeak is what's happening here.

[shaire99]

McConnell and McCain, two sorry assessed doddering, senile, run around in circles and bump heads old fools. They keep propping each other up, neither one sure of what they're talking about but each one pretty damned sure we need to be over there killing someone even if it takes 100 years. PATHETIC

[JoeFelice]

Nice reply from Reid. Essentially, 'I don't blame Mitch for lying to you'.

[huckahblah]

I thought McCain said he'd be fine with deploying U.S. troops in Iraq for "100 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 yeasrs."

[jaekent]

impeach every last one of them and start over. Or .. we could just continue to let them lie to us, steal from us and kill in our names. We all know that just like 9/11, the people are going to suffer for the governments mistakes and not the government. And if they won't let us impeach them .. well then it's time bring back the gallows pole or maybe even giliteen.

[JoeFelice]

That worked well last time.

[lamouchemorte]

"The mainstream media" What a load of garbage. These morons always twist things so that the majority opinion looks as though it is not represented, as if the silent majority were secretly cheer leading for this highly unpopular war. Rubbish I say.

[josephbnany]

thieves and liars, every single one of them.

[nanquan491]

lol the lib loons are getting desperate.

[Weaseldog2001]

Well yeah. You folks are winning your war against the US Constitution and the Rule of Law.

I think it's inevitable that you will succeed in turning the US into a desperate fascist state.

Already you've made great strides in turning the US into a second USSR.

I believe also that you'll successful in starting WWIII. And you victory will be celebrated gasoline at $15/gal.

[nanquan491]

You people are hilarious. Your ridiculous views are like a parody of itself. I can't even start addressing your comment since it was so ridiculous. All you stated are your *opinions* that you formed on the basis of far left-wing propaganda, and you try to pass them off as "facts". Of course in your head they are facts already, which makes you an extremist loon. Sorry if that sounds harsh, I know the truth hurts.

[foley15136]

The situation IS desperate. Being deployed over and over in the wrong war (Iraq) and not the right one (Afghanistan) is a desperate situation. We need desperate measures. Do the non-"libs" and those who are downright conservative who agree are "loons" to you? You know there are "libs" serving right now (while you sit and type comments in front of a computer)? How long was your last deployment?

[nanquan491]

Who are you to say that the "right war" is on Afghanistan? You know better than president Bush or General Patraeous combined?

I know my "loon" remark upset you because deep down you know that you are one. It's pretty obvious by your comment. Make piece with yourself. You know what they say.. the first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one.

[foley15136]

Yes. General Clark (who I know personally), Admiral Fallon and I know better. As well as hundreds more. Why have so many top commanders resigned?

Son you "loon" comment or any other cannot hurt me deep down. There are far more worse things I have dealt with than some chickenhawk's comment on YT. Making "piece"? with yourself is ironic. Peace doesn't come easy but you wouldn't know that. Chickenhawks can't.

[nanquan491]

Yes?! Wow. Listen,if you feel demoralized and sick of fighting, that's a totally different issue, and something you're gonna have to solve with yourself personally. Al Quaeda has a big presence in Iraq, and Afghanistan is almost irrelevant at the moment. If you're tired of fighting then you can quit.But don't try to pretend that running away and allowing radical elements to take over a whole country is the right thing to do. Is the notion of long term strategic thinking familiar to you at all?

[Weaseldog2001]

Oh , you're part of the non-reality based community that Cheney bragged about being in.

AQI, doesn't have that great a presence in Iraq.

Most of the insurgents are Sunnis from Saudi Arabia.

but you knew that. You're dragging your bedwetting noodle spine to the keyboard, because Netvocates won't pay you if you don't post.

Afghanistan is irrelevant? Are you as brain damaged from drug overdoses as Rush Limbaugh? I think you are.

[nanquan491]

So typical of you idiots, you can't stomach the though of someone suggesting you might be WRONG, so your immediate reaction is to try to link that person with this or that group so he will be easier to dismiss, and you can go on with your delusion. Sorry to disappoint, but I think Cheney is an asshole, and I have nothing to do with this or that group.

Al Quaeda in Iraq is only part of a complex situation, there's also heavy Iranian influence etc. But of course you already knew that.

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

No no. You said AQI has a big presence. Now you're saying it's only a part of a complex situation. You can't have any notion what complexities exist. You can't know. All you know is what the neocons have fed you. it's of course your right and prerogative to say foolish things from Hannity but you should think about stepping back and listen to those who know or even consider staying neutral on the subject, not "chickenhawking" but its up to you, of course.

[nanquan491]

I see, so you personally have done a survey among the insurgents, and asked them "hey, are you from AL Quaeda or not?". As you know, members of AQI come from a lot of different countries. The point is that Radical Elements are fighting for control over Iraq as a result of the big power vacuum that was created after the removal of Saddam. That's the reality you seem to have repressed. And so you want to just walk away and go chase some people in robes over in Afghanistan instead.. smart!!

[foley15136]

I can see you haven't a clue what you're talking about.I am tired but giving up, running, there's no quitting where I'm from.

AQI is not a big presence in Iraq. You've been buying the bull. Afghanistan irrelevant?!? Are you kidding? Remember a guy named bin Laden? You obviously don't have a clue. AQI couldn't possibly take over Iraq. Why am I discussing this with you? Talking "strategic thinking" with the likes of you? You're brainwashed by the neocon chickenhawks.

[Weaseldog2001]

They failed at getting Osama Bin Laden, so they want us to forget that Bush promised not to rest in the hunt to get him, just before setting records on vacation days and saying he didn't think about Osama Bin Laden anymore.

Osama Bin Laden defeated Bush, and they don't want to talk about it.

[nanquan491]

All you've stated there are your own personal opinions, not facts. And your own views about how "Bin Laden defeated Bush" etc. are totally irrelevant when having an objective discussion.

Again, very typical. I know you'll just continue like this because you have nothing of real substance to say, so don't bother.. I've heard it all before from nuts like you.

[nanquan491]

I don't listen to "neocon chickenhawks" to formulate my opinions.

You're actually suggesting that sending the entire might of the US military to chase down some guys in robes in some mountains in Afghanistan is the best thing to do??! Bin Laden is ONE MAN.. capturing or killing him will make no difference. The real fight is in the center of the middle east, and it's not just about Al Quaeda.

You've obviously abandoned common sense a long time ago.. and I'm the one who's "brainwashed" ?

[Weaseldog2001]

You, just make crap up, than call your ideas stupid. Very stupid. Do you have other stupid ideas to think up and share, so you can call yourself stupid?

So you want Osama Bin Laden to run free, so he can kill more Americans? Why?

And what makes you think he's in the mountains of Afghanistan? That intelligence was unreliable and Bush announced months ahead of time that we would hunt him there.

He's probably in Dubai. Enjoying his oil revenues.

[nanquan491]

Why would I want Osama Bin Laden to run free you dumbass?! What I'm saying is that he is ONE MAN, and it is not the priority of the entire US army to hunt this man down. There are many other considerations.

You seem to be very simplistic in your thinking... like this is all about some personal vendetta... it's bush vs. osama! I think you've been watching too many movies, kid. Again, you're almost a cliche of the typical lib loon. It's quite laughable.

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

You have to be just yanking chains here. You can't possibly think this way. Either that or you have a "dittohead" bumpersticker.

You mentioned names ,like the good General Petraeus, who is ordered to agree with the president,is having to torturously try to answer Senators and Congresspeople truthfully (because he is honest) and still try not to contradict Bush is hard to watch you can see his stress and anguish. try to listen to people like Adm. Fallon & Jon Soltz (you dont bel me)

[Weaseldog2001]

Netvocates pays people to troll on blogs and chat rooms.

They are funded by the RNC.

They have sophisticated software that detects new threads on various forums and allows their employees to jump in and fill in the appropriate Pravda inspired propaganda.

[nanquan491]

lol that's your best comeback?! You can't give me any smart answers, so now I'm some payed "netvocate" funded by the RNC.

You just owned yourself with your own paranoid delusions. Oh and, 911 was an inside job too, right? So pathetic.

[foley15136]

Weaseldog2001,

Yeah, I have noticed a lot of people doing exactly what your describing. There is a lot from Asian countries, weird places like Cape Verde Africa as well as our own islands like the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico etc.

[Weaseldog2001]

The sad part is that if nanquan491 is actually living in an English speaking country, he working to make sure that he is drafted in the war that he is promoting.

We can't hit Iran and hold our military position in the ME with current troop levels. Iran hasn't been beaten down by ten years of bombing. We'll need a lot of new boots on the ground. And our economy will completely tank as gasoline prices skyrocket.

If he is too infirm to be drafted, he'll likely still become unemployed.

[nanquan491]

Actually I can agree with you about hitting Iran and perhaps Saudi Arabia as well. Stopping the problems from the source, instead of fighting in Iraq. Something like this though can't happen over night.

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

Ok spacecadet. You're OUT THREE!

"hitting Iran and perhaps Saudi Arabia"

You haven't a clue in the world. Not a clue. You haven't a shread of understanding of the Middle East or military.

[nanquan491]

I was speaking hypothetically you dolt.

[nanquan491]

Again.. you've said nothing of substance, and resorting to giving me your personal opinions and interpretations about General Petraeus etc.

I'll say this again... *Opinions* are not the same as FACTS.

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

I see you've learned more than both of us on your last Iraq deployment.

[nanquan491]

Yes, we get it. You were deployed in Iraq and so your *opinions* are automatically turned into "facts". Move along now..

[foley15136]

Wouldn't that make any sense to you then? you would KNOW more then right?

Horn of Africa, CENTCOM, Kuwait, Afghanistan ...... Where were you?

[Weaseldog2001]

And you've provided no FACTS.

Just made up bullpuckey.

You remind me of the Judeo-Christo-Fascist that was arguing in an other thread that we should adopt the Spanish strategy used a few centuries ago. Was that you, posting under another pseudonym? Do you agree with him that we need a new Spanish Inquisition to promote Christianity?

[foley15136]

Weaseldog2001,

I noticed that they NEED to have the last word in the conversation. You're right. They work in packs, many channel names, no faces. They're all chickenhawks, fighting the war from their keyboards.

[nanquan491]

lol I see you both found each other as co-conspiracy theory nuts. Congratulations! :D LMAO

Just to point out your lunacy:

"They work in packs" - so far I'm one person, and seems there has to be two of you spewing the same rhetorical garbage.

"They're all chickenhawks" - Again, a testiment to how your mind works.. opinions become facts without any evidence.Everyone who doesn't think like you must belong to some group etc.Really pathetic.

It's really a waste of time talking to the likes of you.

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

Let me ask you this factboy. How the hell would you know more about the ground over there than someone whose been there and all you've done is sit behind your keyboard, get your "facts" from the likes of Rush and Hannity and regurgitate it on YT. How is it you know more about what I was doing more that I do?

[nanquan491]

There you go again with your "Rush and Hannity" B.S! I've already asked you this one and you didn't answer me; how exactly can you be SURE that the insurgents are not part of Al Quaeda, or are not being influenced by Al Quaeda? Did you come up to every insurgent right before he blew himself up and ask him if he's Al Quaeda or not!? Also can you be sure that if the US leaves then radical elements won't take over? Whether it be AQ, or Iran? You seem awfully willing to take a lot of big risks!

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

How do you make a statement saying AQI will take over? Am I supposed to give you documents. I bear some burden of proof to disprove your "facts". When all you've done is type on your keyboard in a comfy chair, yet you know more than somebody whose who career is dealing with what we're talking about. You don't know (McCain) the diff between Iranians and AQI. You don't know. Period. You can't tell me that you know more about my job than I do.

[nanquan491]

There you go again with the same rhetoric, avoiding all my questions. Also it's very presumptuous of you to assume exactly what I do and do not know. Let me guess, with your twisted way of thinking, those presumptions are now facts, right?

[foley15136]

nanquan491,

Been there son. Since '91.

Not presumptions. You can't just watch your tv and play on the Internets and know what you're talking about. If someone knows directly, you want to dismiss because you want war and justify it but not get behind it for real. Type away, you're helping your country by doing that right? If you don't believe me turn off the Glenn Beck for a while and read some books, Richard Clark, Bob Woodward. Listen to Jon Soltz for a minute. He's been there.

[nanquan491]

Thanks for enlightening me oh wise one.

[shaire99]

nanq, You guys sound like the Ladies Sewing Circle with your illiterate, half baked 'notions' backed by Nothing. Give it up and go get a job so you won't be making a fool of yourself on Youtube for the rest of your sedentary life.

[Weaseldog2001]

you're the one telling us that we have to wipe out all of the Muslims, because they are conspiring to kill us all.

And that is very Rovian of you. Think of your own weaknesses, like your IslamoFascist Conspiracy Theory, and accuse your opponents of that weakness.

Still no FACTS from you at all. Not one attribution. Just bedwetting fearmongering learned from Rush Limbaugh the brain damaged drug addict.

[nanquan491]

Is twisting what I said and putting words in my moth really the best you've got? Honestly, is there not one single brain cell left in that thick liberal skull of yours that will enable you to have just a single moment of clarity, enough to realize what a dumb fuck you're really being?!

Liberalism really is a mental illness it would seem. I'm not gonna waste my time anymore talking to a loon like you. There really is no point.

[nanquan491]

Whoah! What the hell are you on about?! Spanish Inquisition to promote Christianity...!? wow!

You really are a loon.

Germany, North Korea, Etc. Are NOT the middle east meaning, They DON'T want us to be in their country. As long as we " occupy " their lands, they will continue to fight with us which in turn means " an endless war with no end in sight "

These people are hoping to God the voters are stupid in the elections.

Germany Japan and South Korean people dont want the american troops in there country either, neither do us from Britain but our governments over rule the way of the people.

Down with all governments everywhere they only supress there people in various forms and with varying techniques.

[Telcontar1962]

We even have US spy installations set up here snooping on UK citizens expressly against the wishes of the people.

But of course we have no say, we are just the electorate.

There is no end in sight to the violence in Iraq, and we'll stay there as long as necessary, but it is "laughable" to think McCain meant 100 years of being in harm's way.

[oldbaldy129]

We have to defeat Bush/McCain and their cronies in November. Old-timer McCain DID say that it would be fine with him if our troops are in Iraq for 100 years or more.

Anyone know how to start getting things named after McConnell renamed after something else?

[Weaseldog2001]

Yes, specifically he was arguing that the US occupation of Iraq should last 100 years.

This was in the context of answering a question, of how long he would continue the war.

In context, he seemed to be saying, after we defeat Iraq and they accept us as owners of the country, he would like to see us occupy Iraq, for another 100 years.

And Mitch McConnell, the Senator from Philip Morris, also says cigarette smoking is good for our health! McConnell is the typical Republican cancer whore trying to take back what McCain said not once, but 100 times.

[Bolgernow]

Mitch McConnell, "He was talking about troop deployment over seas, not the continued engaugement in warfare. He was talking about having troops deployed which we've had in Germany, Japan & South Korea for many years. He was talking about a situation under which they're not under attack, being killed, or wounded".

THAT'S not up to us. He refuses to understand what's happening in Iraq. The things he described were AFTER war had ended, & the state was secure...

Clueless chicken hawk ass-hat...

[Weaseldog2001]

The other possible interpretation is that when he's president, as soon a soldier is wounded, he'll immediaitely withdraw all of our troops.

I don't think anyone believes that this is what he meant.

His answers almost never go with the questions that he is asked. He's better at being evasive with his non-answers than Bush.

By replying with nonsense answers, his comments can be spun to mean anything.

He's not only a great flip-flopper like Bush, but he's everything to everyone and no one.
