Now our "brave men and women" are in Iraq to guard Sheiks??? Mission Creep doesn't even come close to describing it...more like Mission Wander-All-Over-The-Map.

McCain and the Rabid War-Loving Right is disparately trying to paint Obama as a traitor to the troops who betrayed their "sacrifices"

...while back at home, McCain votes against (or ducks) every VA Funding and GI Bill he comes across!!!

He doesn't know Economy, Internet, Geography, and now History. LOL

@DivineMoments you lose. =D

ITS OK obama i AGREE WITH MCAIN TO

The ironic thing is that most of obamas followers are more experienced to be president than he is. Sara Palin is more experienced than Bill Clinton was. Bill was governor but a small state and small population and no foreign policy experience or military experience.

McCain Will Win!

fact: the surge played a small part in the reasons for lower levels of violence. Iraq Gov. grew a pair... we were just their along for the ride

fact: there are over a dozen different energy sources more viable then oil.

fact: Rome fell victim to her own power because the politicians thought they could control the middle east. She never recovered and died as the only other super power to arise besides the U.S.You do not beat assassins with an army, you beat them with better assassins.

this country is on a downward spiral. we have so many liars like obama and people below me. anybody who knows history knows that war comes before peace. btw the surge is working and people just dont want to accept the truth. 1. oil in iraq 2. terrorist in iraq 3. strategic position in the middle east. that makes since to stay there. and also dont even say shit like we pay insurgents. your a dumass if you think the government could get away with something like that.

[choppedandchanneled]

there is nobody to vote for once again! More of the same old shit. I do respect McCains service in the military and what he went thru though. I think the republican party is letting him dangle in the wind. They had no respect for him before, remember?

[marniespeaks]

why vote for either crook? unless you're a crook.

and what I said if you read the article, which is very informative and revealing in it's title - US bribe insurgents to fight Al-Qaeda

AMERICAN forces are paying Sunni insurgents hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to switch sides and help them to defeat Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

but you're as clueless as McCain when it comes to who or what is fighting in this illegal war.

haha! if he IS lying, he learned it from mr. "i change my position every second and sometimes hold both positions" obama, and i responded to your comment. your comment had NOTHING to do with what mccain said, it just said google some crap... looks like my well-informed vote will be cancelled once again...

[marniespeaks]

Did you listen to What McCain said?

At worse is he is lying, at best he is telling half-truths.

Didn't you bother to watch the video before your comment?

[gkhongo]

hey marnies, do you want the US military to be there forever? the iraqis have to eventually take control of the situation. what is wrong with you? by the way, 11 years passed between Lexington/Concord and the adoption of the US Consitution. Today, in much more difficult times, its been half that time so far. I think we're doing one helluva job, esp. since Rumsfeld botched the crap for the first few years.
