McCain has lost touch with reality

CNN: Military Sources Respond To McCain's Escalation Remark With 'Laughter Down The Line'
Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told radio host Bill Bennett that President Bush's escalation is working. "There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today," he said. Today, when CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked McCain why Americans still aren't able to safely leave the Green Zone in Iraq, the senator replied that Blitzer was giving three-month-old talking points:

General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee. I think you oughta catch up. You are giving the old line of three months ago. I understand it. We certainly don't get it through the filter of some of the media.

But according to CNN reporter Michael Ware, who has been in Iraq for four years, McCain is "way off base." He stated, "To suggest that there's any neighborhood in this city where an American can walk freely is beyond ludicrous. I'd love Sen. McCain to tell me where that neighborhood is and he and I can go for a stroll."

Ware also rebutted McCain's assertion that Petaeus travels in an unarmed humvee: "[I]n the hour since Sen. McCain's said this, I've spoken to military sources and there was laughter down the line. I mean, certainly the general travels in a humvee. There's multiple humvees around it, heavily armed." Watch it:

osama has been dead for 5 years or so..The guy was on a dialysis that had to be changed frequently...look at his first videos(not counting the fake one) The guy was practically at deaths door with a serious illness,you really think he survived more than a couple of years running around in caves with a dialysis machine and his health the way it was?...

[rodneykingman]

He has not "lost touch with reality". He is being highly paid and fully backed and funded to say this. He is very much in reality. You just have to understand his "reality" is to manipulate, lie and deceive. This is why he gets the big bucks. If he wanted reality he would be a reported living in Baghdad.
