To Lisa, temple NH, you are in NH and I am in Missouri, and you read my mind, LOL!! So sad what Guiliani did to America, New York is part of America, and this man wants to now lead America? For who? Bet you know that answer also, huh Lisa? Great posting of yours!!
As for most of the other comments on here about what Mr. McCain said, just goes to prove most Americas can NOT stand the TRUTH.
What goes on in this war on the ground, McCain is right about, or has no one read any of the interviews the Generals ON THE GROUND have given?
ALL the ones I read, the Generals agree with McCain. For months now, but since most of America cannot stand the truth, then I won't say how stupid they are for refusing to believe our military leaders.

Great script… When does the movie come out??? Let's worry about the problems we *have* right now (no shortage of them around…) and let Hollywood play around with the fancy "What If" scenarios. They do a better job of it than either of these two could.

Here is something I really care about–my health insurance went up 10% for 2008. That is something I feel every two weeks. What will you do about that? How about the environment we are destroying, will the midwest be a dustbowl in 20 years? Will my kids still have a beautiful country to live in? And how are you going to make our cities safer so all citizens can walk around without fear? Call me crazy but I am MUCH more worried about these issues than a terrorist attack. These problems are far, far, more lethal to the average American, who will in all likelihood never be a victim of a terrorist attack! Yet this is what these politicians continue to talk about. Terrorism is big news and big business, community policing and environmental protection not so much. Makes me sick.

Huckabee, Romney [nor his five sons], and Giuliani are those who never faced combat nor the threat of combat are always talking about sending others into harms way.

Ah, Senator McCain, spoken like the total jerk you are. You'd not only telegraph your punch, you'd throw it like a weak-kneed sister.

McCain may be right about exposing your hand but sometimes a strong bluff may work wonders as well. McCain/Huckabee would be a dynamite ticket.

Rudy Guliani was too busy before 9-11 hiding the interests of Bernie Kerik who is now under federal indictment.He knew about his mafia connections and kickbacks.
He was protecting his friend – a pedophile preist.
He got kickbacks from the company that made defective radios that firemen had to use.
He was seeing another women while married.
No wonder he did not protect Americans before 9-11.
And murder rates went up by over 3000 in 2001 alone while Guliani was the mayor of new york.

Yeh, just as "totally unnecessary" as McCain idiotically singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb ...bomb,bomb Iran...!"

McCain should have retired 4 years ago. At least Obama and Huckabee address the main issue surrounding Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Let me see, McCain is saying its naive to talk about getting Bin Laden when he is the same big-mouth politician that sung "BOMB BOMB BOMB, BOMB BOMB Iran!" If Bush were to "temporarily" end the US Constitution after the troop surge ended in Arpil 2008, would McCain call President Bush a "good man" like Mushareff?

Unfortunately there is no law without order being established first. I agree with Governor Huckabee....we need to establish what our order/policy is going to be, so that those that have control of the law of their land will be motivated to do something about threats to the USA.

The same people that criticized the invasion of Iraq before are now attacking Senator McCain for respecting Pakistan's sovereignty. He is the best candidate for commanding our forces. Senator Obama and Governor Huckabee need some serious tutoring from Senator McCain.

Also, my president cannot be against the theory of evolution. It doesn't matter what party, race or gender he or she is from.

And what military experience do you have to tout other than the only piece you drag into the news over and over: that you were a POW. I'm certainly not knocking that it was a tough and ugly experience, but it doesn't make one fit for C-N-C.

I second the thought. Go home, John. I'm sure your mom will make cookies and serve you milk with them.

Huckabee's foreign policy sounds Bush league to me. Eight years of cowboy diplomacy is enough. Lets get someone in the oval office who isn't an amateur. Joe Biden anyone?

On this I agree!! Huckleberry demonstrates a "knee-jerk" response sometimes. Frankly, I hope our next President is more thoughtful touting foreign policy initiatives, and a lot more nondescript with regard to our possible military engagements. A cowboy gunslinger attitude may work well in Texas politics–but not for the leader of the most influential nation on earth.

"On Saturday in South Carolina, Huckabee said if there was an "imminent threat" inside Pakistan, he would take military action there, even if it meant violating Pakistan's sovereignty under international law."

So... McCain would not attack within Pakistan if there were an "imminent threat?" I hope he would. "Imminent Threat" sounds pretty bad to me. It sounds like Huckabee is definitely one of the front runners now, judging by the weird stuff people are trying to come up with about him. Makes me want to take an even closer look at him as a potential President. I am still undecided. ThirstyJon

Lovely side-view of McCain you have there, CNN. I can see all the thinning hair, choked, bulging thick neck lines, and gross-out dotted skin lesions this 71(!)-year-old hoss has on his head. Nevermind written articles, you could decide the fate of the presidency merely through pictures!
