WAY TO TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT ASSHOLES! WE STILL HAVE SOLDIERS IN GERMANY, AND ITS BEEN 70 YEARS. MCCAIN WAS LEAVING THE WINDOW OF TIME OPEN BECAUSE A TRUE MILITARY DOESNT GIVE THE ENEMY A TIMELINE. God I hate Backwards Leftist hypocricy. McCains comments here were intelligent and honest, we dont know when the Iraqis will be able to do it alone, and this comment was protecting that uncertainty. Quit trying to crucify him for only trying to protect you and your freedom to whine.
The end of his sentence is completely relevant. I would like to spend every day sunbathing nude and drinking margaritas if I didn't have to go to work and pay my bills. But the reality is that I DO have to go to work and pay my bills. And the reality of Iraq is that American troops (and all coalition troops) ARE getting injured, harmed, wounded and killed. So perhaps in McCain's wonderful fairyland, 100 more years in Iraq would be fine. But a quick check of the REAL world dictates otherwise.
You are an idiot, staying in iraq is injuring and harming and killing americans u fucking moron. Oh I guess the Republcians forgot the troops and their families right? You guys make me sick.
addwarlord wrote: "You are an idiot, staying in iraq is injuring and harming and killing americans u fucking moron. Oh I guess the Republcians forgot the troops and their families right? You guys make me sick."
Neo-cons support the war in Iraq.
They just don't want to pay for any of it and they sure as hell don't want to go fight it either.
Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove, and former sec. defence Rumsfeld need to be arrested and sent to gitmo, water boarded then tried for treason. Read against all Enemies. Watch the 2 hour movie Zeitgeist on line. Read the 9-1-1 commission report. Remove the traitors and find the puppet masters. Exxon, Rockerfeller, Halliburton, ect ect. REPUBLICANS are the Enemy!!! McCain would be worse than Bush!!!
lol. how does that debunk anything!! He said we should stay for 100 years. Regardless of lower death tolls (which will never be 0), i dont think the american people want to be an empire. America does not create colonies!!!
I think the USA should get the COALITION out of Iraq right now before more COALITION TROOPS SRE KILLED OR MAIMED!! LOOK IT........FIVE YEARS SINCE "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"
Surely that is long enough?.......Somaliland, Yemen and Afghanistan are FAR MORE IMPORTANT.
We were bamboozled by the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld team. We bought into their lies... hook, line & sinker. We were told that this war wasn't going to cost us one red cent. We were going to be greated as Liberators, have flowers thrown at our soldiers feet, We were lead to thinking that this was going to be a "SHORT" war like the first "GULF" war in 1991. We were lied to. Mission Accomplished. That was another lie. I'm dumb founded how we let ourselves believe this nonsense. It's sickening.
If you want the God's Honest Truth. The Iraq War was planned out long before 9/11 ever happened. The NeoCONS started planning the Iraq War in 1993 after Clinton moved into the White House. 9/11 gave the NeoCONS a reason to go into Iraq. NeoCONS hijacked the republican party. That's one of the reasons why I left the republican party. Due to the NeoCONS. I'm now a moderate Independent. I doubt I'll ever return to the republican party. It doesn't speak for me anymore.
The Mismanagement until early 2007 was enormous since it gave Al Qaida Space and Time to establish Nests in the Country...
The Existing Troops there will not stay for a 100 years but for as long as it will take to Really & Finally Accomplish the Mission under a Better Administration sharing the same Determination with this one for this Critical Issue unlike some Democrats i know these days...
How low can the DNC sink? Not as low as the Republicans. Remember when they accused McCain of fathering an illegitimate black baby? How about their constant lying and misconstruing about the war on terror, the PATRIOT Act, 9/11, tax cuts, social security, etc?
People in glass houses are the last ones who should throw stones. And the Republicans have constructed one hell of a glass house over the past eight years.
I Guess that shows your "gratitude" to those who died in Korea and WW II in order to make sure that you will be a free man to type comments like the one which is under mine Tranzphonic...
That is what happens in Iraq and Afganistan these days Tranzphonic...
Perhaps it is time to check what happened in WWII and why the Bloody thing started...
There's a WORLD of difference between World War II and Iraq. If you don't understand that, then you need to get the hell off Google, turn off Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, drive your ignorant ass down to a library (that building with all the strange objects called "books" -- I know it's foreign to yuou) and start reading some history textbooks.
Actually no, you don't have the right facts. For your example to be correct, America would have had to invade China after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Bush has basically become bin Laden's advertising agency. The Iraq War has caused hundreds if not thousands of Iraqis to join up with al Qaeda. Their ranks have swelled thanks to our occupation and it's also served to increase the power base of Iran. By waging an illegal war, we've only succeeded in empowering our enemies.
Your argument looks childish or you are trying to exaggerate for no reason
The WWII PATTERN which the entire Senate Shared as a View back then (Pearl Harbor for 9/11) was more than correct...
The Retaliation against Afghanistan was logical and parallel To the Authorization given to President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Prepare the Nation against Japan after Pearl Harbor (TORA TORA TORA)
The Above also are trying to Justify why History is Science
The Senate shared that view because they were given fradulent intelligence. It's you who are being childish and making no sense when you actually look at the facts. Your claim is every bit as fraudulent today as it was in 2003.
Iraq wasn't part of that battlefield until we invaded, and it's not a major part of the battlefield now. Al Qaeda is delighted we're bogged down in there and that it can use our presence as a recruiting tool. They want us to stay. Iraq is an artificial country comprised of groups who hate one another, and now we own its civil war. Iraq is doing nothing for us but distracting us from the larger struggle. It is the worst U.S. foreign policy error ever, and shame on anyone who wants to prolong it.
"That'd be fine with me [staying in Iraq 100 years] as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed."
-------------
And if Americans ARE being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, as they are now? Would THAT be fine with McCain? If not, when would it stop being fine with him to have Americans being injured or harmed or wounded or killed in Iraq, as they are now?
Seeing as how he doesn't want to do anything to help the troops or ensure they have benefits when they come back, it's obvious he doesn't have a problem with how they're being treated -- either during war or during peacetime.
I am afraid you have to check General Petraus's Valid Report in order to prove the Above or else you reply just to reply and have fun which is fine by me...
You also have to counter an official NATO Policy along with what happens in Iraq ,these days, not forgetting to study the Political Situation in the Entire Middle East...
General Petraus does not want to do anything?
Do you have a good Proven Example for that?
That Blind Totally Lost in the Super Duper Space Ignorant Partisanship...
Mr. McCain is the Only Candidate who has a real time view of what is going on in Iraq and he has also General Petraus's Report to support that along with Mr. Bin Laden's Video Posts calling Iraq the Fortress of Islam these days...
7Jack7 both you and dp812 have to check the site of Mr. McCain it has a Timeline with all his efforts to support the Troops...
September 2007: McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.
May 2006: McCain voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities.
April 2006: McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.
March 2006: McCain voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes.
March 2004: McCain once again voted for abusive tax loopholes over veterans when he voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans' medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive tax loopholes. Jeez, McCain really loves those tax loopholes for corporations, since he voted for them over our veterans' needs.
October 2003: McCain voted to table an amendment by Senator Dodd that called for an additional $322,000,000 for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322,000,000.
April 2003: McCain urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests.
August 2001: McCain voted against increasing the amount available for medical care for veterans by $650,000,000. To his credit, he also voted against the 2001 Bush tax cuts, which he now supports making permanent, despite the dire financial condition this country is in, and despite the fact that he indicated in 2001 that these tax cuts unfairly benefited the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
Everytime this video plays, whether it's a youtube video with hundreds of thousands of views or just a handful of views like this one, it will only help to get out the word of John McCain's willingness to commit to 100 YEARS in Iraq. Whether it's snippets or the full context, it will be helpful. Who in the right mind thinks Iraq will be anything like Korea, Germany, or Bosnia? Please, keep posting this stuff. The more people know about 100 years, the better! lol
Problem is when they learn that actual comment and the context they'll realize you're disingenious fools ala Rockafellers advice to Hillary about how to frame healthcare reform dishonestly to BS the public. You people are pure scum.
who isn't? democrats can admit it. Republicans just have a hard time believing reality over fox news. these kinda "smears" aren't stopping till Nov but ALL parties Need to realize there is more that one side to the argument. there's no compromise just I'm right UR wrong. this is deadly to the future of America! not terrorism, not the economy, our biggest threat is the lack of UNITY in the once United States!
You're right, I remember Pelosi admitting her hypocrisy re: earmarks, special interests, culture of corruption, do nothing congress, procedural politicing, etc. That's right, dems admit it. Foxnews. Wow, haven't heard that trite reference in awhile. As if it's the only biased news source. There's never been a unified US, study our founding. There's not supposed to be unity, just a political means by which the people can pursue their political will.
sounds great, but it will never happen (in any foreseeable lifetime). it's contrary to human nature. everyone has different experiences, therefore perspectives, different needs, therefore different goals, and different philosophies, therefore different means. Moreover, good things come from healthy disunity (defined as different opinions). What we need is more respect in our disagreeemnets and greater efforts to compromise.
That part that was "left out" dosen't help McCain's case very much. The presence of several military bases and Vatican-size embassies, as long as they are in Iraq, will be a thorn in the Muslims side and will continue to trigger blowback towards the US for decades. To somehow compare the people of Korea or Germany with those of Iraq is just ignorant.
WAY TO TAKE IT OUT OF CONTEXT ASSHOLES! WE STILL HAVE SOLDIERS IN GERMANY, AND ITS BEEN 70 YEARS. MCCAIN WAS LEAVING THE WINDOW OF TIME OPEN BECAUSE A TRUE MILITARY DOESNT GIVE THE ENEMY A TIMELINE. God I hate Backwards Leftist hypocricy. McCains comments here were intelligent and honest, we dont know when the Iraqis will be able to do it alone, and this comment was protecting that uncertainty.
