Does McCain Really Know Iraq?

From March 2007

McCain claims to be the expert on the War in Iraq, but this video says otherwise.


He also prides himself for supporting the surge and how successful it has been. Yet the questions no one asks is:

"Would a troop withdrawal have been as successful as the surge?

"Would it have helped quell the in-fighting? (From the Iraqi's point of view, if your not fighting against the Americans then your supporting their occupation)

"Would it have saved the lives of hundreds of American Troops, and thousands of Iraqis?"

"And how much $$ would it have saved?"

Baha!! McCain got stuck. I just can't believe why this race is so close with bone headed mistakes like this are being made everyday by McCain. If Obama made the same mistakes the media would never let the subject go. It would bury Obama's campaign.

You see there you go again... You want to vote for the citizens of Arizona yourself, because you feel that you are smarter than they are... And you know what's best for them.. Well last time I checked the majority of the votes is all that matters. And I'm sure if anyone from Arizona that reads your comments, will really care too much for you..

And by the way, I'm sure that there are a few nurses that live in the state too...

Arizona is one of the poorest and least educated states in the country. McCain has done nothing for the state.....in fact polls show that Obama is running close with McCain in Arizona.

Despite all of your attempts to label me a "kid" I am certain I am more educated than you are.....I have two undergraduate degrees, a master's degree, and am in medical school. Perhaps you should educate yourself on the issues before spewing mindless drivel.

John McCain's lack of knowledge on Iraq was confirmed today by the Iraqi prime minister supporting Obama's withdrawal plan. Its amazing to me that so called conservative Republicans used to believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy....in fact, your boy Bush ran on a platform that was against nation building in 2000. Despite all the talk of "personal responsibility" your party essentially supports an indefinite American babysitting operation in Iraq.

amantha03 - You kids just say things that make no sense. Do you really believe at what you just said? Now think real hard.

The good people of Arizona, elected McCain for over "twenty years", REPEATEDLY.. That did nothing for them? Are you calling all the people in the state of Arizona stupid, or are you just saying that you're smarter than the whole state of Arizona? And probably for longer than you've been alive kido..

Obama's not Muslim. But even if he was, that really doesn't mean anything. There is something called the United States Constitution which protects EVERYONE'S right to the beliefs of their choice.

What has McCain accomplished for the state of Arizona during his time in the United States Senate?

In fact, John McCain hasn't even voted in the United States Senate for over 100 days.

Yeah, maybe you should research the story of McCain's first wife Carol. She was injured in an automobile accident, and then McCain cheated on her numerous times with numerous different women, and then callously abandoned her for Cindy the beer heiress.

I agree totally. I can't believe that all these young kids support Obama. The man stands for nothing. I think everyone is too worried about "me" nowadays and they will not vote unless there is something in it for them. Nevermind what is in the best interest of the nation. Not to mention most of these kids have no clue about the war. I like the idea that our military is volunteer, however I think a little service might educate them. Such a sad state anymore.
