McCain: 100 years in Iraq "would be fine with me"

LA TIMES: http://tinyurl.com/2clmy9

The United States military could stay in Iraq for "maybe a hundred years" and that "would be fine with me," John McCain told two hundred or so people at a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire, on Jan 3. And U.S. troops could be in Iraq for "a thousand years" or "a million years," as far as he was concerned.

@moe761 since you are so eager for 'us' to be there, I must ask, why aren't you there? Or maybe i'm wrong and you're not a chickenhawk hypocrite. As for me, ilve been (infantry, 2004) and I am and was very much against it. Thankfully I got to go on the mission I very much believe in, afghanistan (2009) and serve under a cmdr in chief I could respect

research it you will see that america is killing innocent people and propping up unpopular oppressive governments literally destroying millions of peoples way of life. there homes are gone, there way of life is gone, theyre walth is gone, and many are dead. if you do a bit more research i think you will see the reason for this is to benefit the military industrial complex and the big oil companies. it is a crime just as morally reprehensible as slavery

People have always been cool with hegemony and imperialism.... right?

i think both of the wars were right...see, your average soldier doesn't look at the big picture, he might not really know too much about Saddam, or know about the Al Queda in Iraq who beheaded innocents and fallujah was straight terrorists wanting to kill Americans ? See the main battle meeting ground is afghan and iraq....anyone from the middle east who wants Americans ...they know where to find them, terrorists had been coming from all over

@crowecole how could you believe in a war that was to go after a rag tag group of people hiding in an entire country? Do you believe in the absurd myth that Afghanistan is a 'good' war where Iraq was a 'bad' war?

@rmccay88 And did you ever notice how scared they get of other militaries attacking us with missiles at the mere thought of bringing all our troops home to guard our borders and airspace? You and I can agree "So what?" You and I have confidence in our military that they can shoot anything down before it got here. These Neocons and Progressives? "Support Our Troops"..Yeah, right. To them, maybe if they're all overseas, but if they're all back home, they lack confidence in the military.

@crowecole God bless your service my friend. Don't you just get a kick out of Maj. Gen. Chickenhawke Cheney? Five consecutive deferrments out of Vietnam? What a brave soul leading the attack and using you and your fellow soldiers as pawns.

[freedomlikesummer]

As long as Americans aren't being hurt, injured, or killed? That must be why we've lost 6,000 troops in Iraq/Afghanistan? Let's just keepup the women and children casualties and encourage people to join radical movements that want to danger America...John McCain is a FUCKING IDIOT.
