McCain Changes Subject When Asked About Pre-emptive War

John McCain in Warren, MI at the General Motors Tech Center is asked this question:

"Um, this is about Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. We preemptively went into Iraq, and not one terrorist came from Iraq. And um, now there's Iran and you made sort of a joke of bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. I hope that was a joke. And Osama's still running around somewhere else. So I wondered what your feeling are on preemptively going into countries where we don't really like the leader, if er, if they have oil or if they don't have oil and what you plan to do if you're President going into Iran, not going into Iran, pulling out of Iraq, not pulling out of Iraq, going into Afghanistan or any other countries that you think you want to win wars with. And we lost Vietnam. You said you knew how to win wars. We didn't win there. And I don't know if winning wars is necessarily something that a President wants to do, or should do."

And he follows it with eight minutes of we're winning in Iraq, be afraid of the evil terrorists, the surge is working, Saddam had weapons, and we're going to have victory in Iraq. That's not what she asked you Senator.

What is funny to me is that the water carriers for this guy... They are like that guy who was wearing the tropical shirts for Hillary, when it was clear she was losing and going to lose. (Terry) This guy has changed his position from 2000 on religious leaders, mCCain-fiengold, "- Kennedy, the border, and othe shit.

We are spending 12 billion/ week in Iraq. That money could be spent here. We don't nation build. McCain has PTSD. He is obsessed w/ winning. WTF is winning? He is not a smart man!

Terry McAuliffe. Loser. I cannot stand that SOB or Mark Penn that were running her campaign. No McCain is not a smart man. He graduated near the bottom of his class at Annapolis.

Here's the deal. You DO NOT WIN an occupation and until the Democrats wise up and quit calling it a "war" and ALWAYS call it an occupation they will not win this argument. When you call it what it is, McCain loses. I am happy that I've heard "occupation" coming out of Obama's mouth. I hope he says it during debates.

my ears are bleeding from hearing so much bullshit

Ok, there was a couple of out right lies that McCain said here. First Obama has been to Iraq before, it was one other time but McCain said he has never been, that is a lie. Obama has meet with General Petraeus before, it was part of the senite comittty on iraq and in a privet meeting with him at around the same time, so McCain is also lieing there. Also the fauls idea that pulling out of Iraq is loseing is just that stupid. McCain is starting to dig a hole he cant get out of

This guy is a NUT- hopefully no one believes this crap.

HE already he admitted he want's to bomb Iran now anyone with half a brain will realize that China and Russia both nuclear country's have "Warned" us about "invading" Iran now imagine there and the rest of the worlds reaction if we were to do that I'm sure we'd be paying the price for this loony. If this guy get's in I would move away from major city's and bases. I guarantee ww3 when he does it I'm not going through that horror for this douche bag. This douche still thinks its Vietnam.

McCain says US and the international intelligence communities believed Saddam had WMD's. That's a lie. The primary source of the 'intelligence' he refers to is so unreliable that his codename is 'Curveball'. And yes, Saddam did gas his own people. Twenty years ago. When we were supporting him. By the way, Jerez, we're using Napalm in Iraq, too.

This guy is scary!!! He's out of his mind!!!
