The majority of our Allies have turned and run the other way. Who does this man think our Allies really are??

I'm very glad to hear this. I'm definitely not going to vote for McCain, but it makes me feel better to know that our next President, whether Obama or McCain, will try to be more diplomatic than Bush.

Nobody likes Bush. Nobody likes Republicans that robbed them.
John, you don't even make sense reading your que cards.Talk about
the economy? No John you don't get the economy and your words will
never make a believer out of MOST AMERICANS. Go sit in the corner
with Hillary, John.

"McCain called on the world's democracies to form a new global pact 'to advance our values and defend our shared interests' " - Sounds a lot like "One World Government" to me. And here I was under the impression that Republicans were against that sort of thing.

Just goes to show you, if you want to be a Republican, be a Libertarian.

judging by the fact my rational but contrarian posts are being ignored by historically left leaning CNN and this mugwump Darth Vadick keeps getting plenty of air time……The ultra-liberal CNN moderator must be working today.

Thanks for your bias CNN!

Our Foreign Policy in the Middle east has Been for the last 30yrs Do whatever looks good to Isreal while we sell weapons to there enemies???

Paris,
Is that why John McCain supports the war in Iraq even though he doesn't even know who we're fighting? Refreshing? Ummmm.

Your've got to be kidding. Is this guy for real. His he still running for president? That's the problem we have been doing what we want for a very long time. It is time to fall in line and do the right thing.

John, I strongly believe now that there is nobody other than yourself in the presidential race who can come closer to you. Keep it up. Howard Dean suddenly jumped in to criticize you. These are the dirty tricks of democrats like Howard Dean who was discarded by American people in hte last election.

Paris,

If you sell out everthing you stand for you are NOT a man of principles.

Welcome to Los Angeles Mr. McCain…however your perception of creating a new world order and mending ties with our "friends" and allies is badly misguided.

The issue is that most of our NATO allies and other liberal democracies around the world are completely opposed to continued occupation of Iraq. Not to mention the majority of Americans whom feel it's not worth the tremendous financial costs.

Until you figure-out how to distance yourself from Bush/Cheney…those relationships with allies will continue to be strained and our reputation around the world further damaged.

The "key" to McCain's foreign policy is to make sure Joe Lieberman is by his side to prompt him with the correct answer.

John McCain doesn’t play politics with everything like democrats do.
He is a man of principal and this is so refreshing.

What allies, the whole world litteraly wants the US to elect Obama or Hillary, there isn't one country in this world that would take insane McCain over Hillary or Obama.

Get real, we can't bomb ourselves into other countries hearts.

They're even closing ranks today…

You'll never get a Guard Of Honour, reception….

They still think!! They Rule!!!! Somewhere on this Planet..

Dear Kim,
But Democrats do generally support John's positions on comprehensive immigration reform, campaign finance reform, global warming, torture, treatment of prisoners, gang of 14, stem cell research, bipartisanship ,etc. And I think they would also support his views of international cooperation, a comprehensive approach to dealing with terrorism, improving our image in the world by living up to our ideals, etc. The greater cause of which I speak is our ability to love one another - even Republicans.

uncle sam, transcending partisan politics!?!?!? most democrats do not support the occupation in iraq, invading iran, being surrounded by lobbyists, maintaining the tax cuts for the rich, outsourcing jobs, corporate welfare, and all the other insane, destructive things mccain supports.

and you must know that those democratic countries do not support bush, our failed invasion of iraq, our planned invasion of iran which will also fail.

what do you believe is his "greater cause"?

Love ya John. America is still the leader of the Free World. Not France, England or Germany. See if you can get them to pay for their own defense and protection of their oil resources. Maybe then we can bring our boys home with honor.

There is no Policy-Just same old stuff. It is a continuation of Bush's War. Obama/ Edwards 08

Dear Kathleen,
In his speech on foreign policy, Senator McCain was referring to democratic countries not the Democratic party. The irony of this year's election is that it will be John who delivers on Senator Obama's message of transcending partisan politics in service to a greater cause.

to late mcbush, u should have said this to g dubya before the iraq war!
t

in regards to defecting democrats article that is closed for comment………………………………………..all the rats are jumpin ship

They'll let you down again. John…
If you mean, as to the hostilities in the middle east.

France! Will for sure…. They have so much history…

Alex H: I salute you because you are so right. That's the speech of a wolf in sheeps clothing and a theif in the night.

Wonder why CNN continues to cover this guy's blathering while giving us "short attention-span theater" on the deteriorating situation in Iraq.

People over there are dying, and this guy is just dying to keep them there.

Sorry, did I miss something?…What foreign policy vision?????

Yep, just as soon as you can figure out who the al queda is.

To all you who like to call him McSame and so forth, today you are just now starting to see what will be an increasingly obvious gap in differences between this great man and the currant administration. I still believe that history will paint this time in a different more positive light than most believe. However having said that I am not for a second naive enough to think that Mr. Bush didn't make mistakes and rush to actions.

I am truly proud to be an American and work hard to support my wife and children in this great country. I am tired and long past annoyed at the infighting and wasted majority of the congress by the left.

I think when you say "advance our values" you mean "impose our values". And when you say "defend our shared interests" you mean "take oil that doesn't belong to us".

Wow! Image that!!

A global pact of the worlds democracies working "to advance our values and defend our shared interests". In effect, an anti-UN.

John McCain is indeed a man of vision..

This man is crazed. "OUR GREAT POWER" meaning him.
Desperate and dumb. "We need to advance our values and
defend "our shared" interest." We need to listen to the views
and respect the collective will of our DEMOCRATIC allies.
Does this mean he knows the Democrats ideas appeal
to the voters, but vote for him and he will decifer what he
will and will not use from the Democratic Party????????????
Oh, my God!!!!! What an ugly monster we have here.

McCain sounds like he is trying to trick us into voting for him
and he will consider Democratic ideas. Yeah, right?????

Vote for McCain and you can kiss your Social Security GOODBYE
along with Unemployment and Medicare. Employers will NOT
be obligated to pay benefits. He said, the Employers can give
the guy a raise so the employee can pay for his own Health Care.

Taxes for the Rich to be made Permanant on Day 1 and an additional
2 billion in tax breaks will be added.

For us fools out here, this is it. If we vote McCain, kiss democracy
as we know it goodbye.

Fox news trashes obama everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then why are you for going into iran?!!?!? mccain actually spread the LIES about iran having an al qaeda connection, just so they can get us into another war. SOUND FAMILIAR FOLKS?!!?!?!?!?

none of these other democracies he CLAIMS he will meet with will approve of his wanting to invade iran, just like they didnt approve our illegal invasion of iraq FOR THE SAME LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mccain = MORE EXPENSIVE WAR!!!!!!!

Los Angeles is a great place.

News flash for you, Methuselah. We haven't got any more allies. Your good buddy George took care of that. And as long as Republicans are in charge, we aren't going to be able to repair the damage.

That's a complete contradiction of what he had done for the last 6 years. He supported going to war without regard to what allies have said and even now our allies have pulled out while McCain demands we stay. Our allies are smarter than him and therefore he needs to get advice from them because his independent judgment has been so horrible.

Imagine that, we should work with our allies instead of sitting down for tea with men who have sworn to destroy us. Are you listening Barack? This is foreign relations 101.

Another new world order believer.
