Democrats be careful, McCain is going to reinstate the draft! Why do you think he is against the GI Bill from Sen Webb.

Anyone but that creepy old man, I hate to say it even Hillary will be enough for me though i support Obama if that is what it takes to avoid going to Iraq and Iran. We are literally going to WAR and HELL if we allow such an old mentality get into the white house. I repeat Mccain wants to bring back the draft!

Vote for Obama or go to WAR! Your choice.

And this was by far the most excitement ever seen at a McCain rally.

Victory, victory? You have to have a war first.
The illegal invasion of a soveign country that didn't do anything to us, that never had a SINGLE terrorist link (duhhh republican morons, read a book and know middle East, you idiots might learn that the bath party rulers are from a different brand of Islam and are actually AGAINST radical Islam. Saddam was a nut job and a dictator but not a radical religious, and THERE WAS NEVER EVER any Al Quaida in Iraq !!! Get it through your thick skulls.

Duhhhh, we need to elect someone smart , intelligent for a change.
McCain is NOT SMART enough and DOESN'T NOT understand foreign policy. He is a veteran (I give him that, thank you) and fought overseas,…doesn;'t he understand jack about foreign policy.

Ron Paul was the best, but the Republican party mouth piece, aka fox news, and the rest of the ignorant hard liners right wingers never understood that…

It is scary to think this man may become the next president! we will be at war for generations to come!! Democrats and Independents unite for the general election, and get this country back on track!

Obama 08!!!!!!!

I think its funny that everyone blames all of our problems on the Iraq war.

Wait until Obama is president- see what a liberal commie socialist will do to our country. Social security crisis? No problem, we will give health care to everyone!….. wait…. that won't work… uhhhhhhhh

I can't wait for the socialist commie libs to fall on their faces.

McCain hasn't said anything different from what we've heard in the las 8 Bush-Cain years!!!Please no more republicans!!!!!!!Obama 2008

No McCain! Not now not Ever!!!!!

Senator McCain:

Define victory and once defined it cannot be achieved in this lifetime.
The "enemy" can only be contained. Quit playing the majority of the citizenry as a much of chumps.

Ernie

So many "cut and run" proponents out there. Glad there weren't so many back in the 40's.

There is no question that the Bush administration blundered by attacking Iraq. Papa Bush knew that there would be a vacuum in the middle east with Sadaam removed…that's why he didn't go into Baghdad in the late stages of the first Gulf War.

To his credit, McCain was one of the first to opine on the way the war was being mishandled under Rumsfeld. That being said, he has the knowledge and courage to understand that it would be an even bigger blunder to arbitrarily pull out at this point. Conditions on the ground continue to improve and to just up and leave before our objectives of a stable Iraq are met would be destabilizing to the region and would inevitably lead to greater chaos going forward.

Personal attacks on any of the candidates for their views are immature and convey a lack of intellect. I discount the opinions of anyone who uses terms like "McLame" or "Shrillary" and belittles the service of people in elected office. People like that are the political equivalent of "armchair quarterbacks" and I have pity for their shallow views and tendency to regurgitate party soundbites.

I am shocked! No I'm not. He deserved it!

Obama has now opened a big lead in Iowa. So he's now leading in Penn, Ohio, Virginia, California (where more that 50% dislike Hillary).
Point is, he is way electable and ready for the general. Let the lady make her farewell and prepare for GOP dirty tactics. To paraphrase the village idiot, bring them on.

What a bunch of disrespectful morons.

Not just the ones at McCains speech, but on this blog as well.

I just hope you people aren't old enough to vote!

The protestors do not even want to hear the man out all they care about is their agenda and no one else has the right to view their opinion. To the left they are the only ones who have freedom of speech because they do not like conflicting ideas. I guess we know what these protesters Mom and Dad injected into their bodies in college and their liberal professors have taught them well.

I don't agree with the war in Iraq. HOWEVER, many, many Americans SUPPORTED this "venture", as someone else said, because 9/11 was still so raw. The problem now is that we invaded Iraq, people are finally realizing what a lie it all was, and want to "just leave". I am not so naive that I think it is possible, although I wish it was. McCain is far from stupid, has sacrificed tremendously for our country-I do believe even his young son is now an Iraq war vet. I believe Obama is FAR from the answer to our problems, and have enough faith in McCain to give him my vote for at least the next four years.

Ok… I get the whole anti-war thing; really. There are many valid arguments. But I can't help but wonder: what's the alternative then? I'm sorry but what good does chanting "Bush lied people died" do us? Who wouldn't want to bring all the troops home; but then what? Does anyone honestly believe that will bring peace? Does anyone think that if we leave Iraq then magically the terrorists will stop? Magically iran won't go after nukes? IMHO, the alternatives are far more frightening than anything we've seen so far.

If you want to be all anti-war, fine. But until you come up with a better way to safeguard and defend our country, then that line of thinking I find entirely worthless and wholeheartedly disrespectful to our military.

Yes, this war makes sense NOT. We were in so much danger from Iraq. HECKLE AWAY FOLKS! And to you MIANNE: Your brother is the only one to find wmds because after 19 months there I didn't find one of them. You sure he was in Iraq? And for all the folks crying McCain is a war hero; As Gen. Merrill A. McPeak said "…you don't get to be a hero by getting shot down, you get to be a hero by shotting the OTHER guy down"

. We must ask ourselves as a people what is more important than bringing our sons or daughters home from Iraq, This is not a white thing, or black thing, or yellow or red. A bullet or bomb doesn't set out to kill one race of people in a war, all of our children are dying in this war and we are here in the comfort of our homes making an argument if my candidate does not win then I am voting for McCain. Remember if it is not your child or relative in Iraq, it could be if this war continues. This is so scary. They are talking of building up the Military, where do you think the young men and women are going to come from? Think about this people, and quit the childish bickering and lets do what it takes to bring our children home. No one is exempt, no one goes untouched. If you ask a serviceman or servicewoman, they are not over in Iraq divided, they need one another and we who pride ourselves on being patriotic must really seem hypocritical to those who are paying such an awesome price for a war that no one really understands why we are fighting. We all are paying enormous gas prices, food prices, and mortages and that is something we all have in common no matter where who you support. Let's stop all of this hating and rudeness and come together if not for us for our children and grandchildren. I have one son who is almost 18 and I will do whatever it takes to ensure his future, I LOVE HIM MORE THAN I DISLIKE EITHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

Obama isnt even president yet and you are all brainwashed by his communist views. get lives

He just doesn't get it !!!!!!!!!!!!Just like Bush…He will not get my vote

I hope he gets used to actually hearing from the people of America, i think every speech he (or his clone Hillary0 gives should be interrupted wiht protestors saying "You voted us into this illegal, immoral war based on lies, you are keeping us in this illegal, immoral war based on lies and we want our people to come home" We no longer want to hear lies like we are fighting them over there so we will not ahve to fight them here! The TRUTH is there WERE NO AL-QUEDA IN IRAQ IUNTIL WE BROUGHT THEM IN! the TRUTH IS AL-QUEDA WAS IN AFGANISTAN AND WE AHVE IGNORED THEM TO FIGHT IN IRAQ, THE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO REASON FOR US HAVING GONE INTO IRAQ AND WE SHOULD LEAVE NOW AND FIGHT THE REAL TRERRORIST!
Bush you and Hillary are GUILTY OF AUTHORIZING AN ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR, YOU, HILLARY AND THE ENTIRE BUSH GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE UP ON WAR CRIME CHARGES it is wrong for crimminal to seek the office of the President war criminals should be tried not elected!

These comments clearly illustrate the intolerance of Obama's radical left base.

Quote……Ron May 27th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Never retreat, never surrender. I don't care if every soldier in Iraq is killed, we can never give up! The stakes are too high. If you want the terrorists to win – vote for Hussein Obama. If not – vote for John McCain – a real American hero.
***********
Ron you are truly one sick puppy. I guess its not your kids getting killed is it or maybe it is and you just have the usual republican war is good mentality.

Make no mistake, there's a special throne in Hell for George W.

For all his lies, deceit, greed and turmoil, that moron better drink all the ice water he can while he's here on earth. When he gets where he's going, it's gonna be so hot Satan's gonna need A/C.

Rock on John McCain. As a former Hillary supporter, we need you and your experience in the White House.

I will never support Obama. Hillary can not save us, but now you need to!

John McCain has principles and that is good. But appearing with Bush and fundraising with Bush is not going to get him a lot of applause and it is probably going to hurt his long term fundraising efforts. The problem with his campaign is he has been all over the place. He has been doing the proverbial flip-flopping. He is green but mean. He is Conservative but Moderate. He is independent but dependent on Bush. He is frugal but promotes further big spending on the war. Sorry. Take a stand that you believe in and stick to it. Or you will lose your support on all sides.

Who woke the baby-killer and had him give a speech?

Go back to sleep, John. November is right around the corner, and then it'll be over and you can retire on your C**t wife's money.

This is great, Hillary supporters heckling McCain, I heard one of them scream, "Hillary" in the background. So Hillary supporters are you supporting Hillary or McCain, you guys need to make up your mind!? And you Hillary/McCain 08 people, what are you going to do? It is like going to McDonald's and ordering a Whopper!

WHY ARE WE IN IRAQ : ANSWER , TO STEAL THEIR OIL ! THE TROOPS WILL LEAVE WHEN THEY HAND OVER THEIR OIL, IT'S THE BIGGEST STICK UP GONE BAD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME STOP JOHN MCCAIN !! (YES OBAMA CAN)!!!!

Churchill said that the weakest part of a democracy is the voters. After perusing a number of the comments on these blogs, I know he was correct. The non-thoughtful herd following behaviour demonstrated here is actually frightening. If you want to be listened to, don't call names, do research, make an argument and state facts, not opinions to support it. Think with your head, feel with your heart, don't confuse the two.

So "Body Bags McCain" still wants to continue this war until we are "victorious". I still have yet to understand by what criteria does he actually measure "victory" by. Is it by the amount of tax payer dollars that the U.S. is spending unnecessarily? Or is the number of lives that we have lost while in combat?

Then again, maybe he is trying to relieve his war days vicariously through our troops. But yet, he opposed an amendment to a G.I. Bill that would give our veterans supplemental funding for college.

SHAME ON HIM.

Democrats '08.

l

I can understand where McCain is coming from…Our VietNam vets came home without honor…and that was a shame!!

Go Hillary.

Elect McCain and Bush will have a 3rd term. McCain is more Hawkish than the bloody Pres and VP. He wants to deny vet benefits unless they've served at least 3 years. What if they become disabled in the first year of service? I guess they'be tough outta luck.

"American Party May 27th, 2008 1:44 pm ET
MSNBC aka Muslim State National Broadcasting Corp. is pushing this Left Wing Nut Job in Training pants that can't win the votes of anyone except his cult; The obama team is now sending Daschle to get the working man's vote, now why in this world would Obama want to send a loser like Daschle to speak to blue collar workers? He's about as blue collar as Bill Gates. Anyway, these folks won't vote for Obama. They're smarter than that. " they voted Daschle out"
.Obama is an unelectable lightweight. At least McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry, whose footsteps Obama would soon be walking in if he successfully weasel his way into the nomination of the Democratic Party, had the experience to run a national campaign and the resume to be President of the United States.

Obama's nothing new. He's the same old story for the Democratic Party, with the comic twist that he's got a ridiculously thin resume that would be laughable if we weren't talking about losing the presidency of the United States yet again"

————————————-

Wrong blog – this one's about McCain getting heckled. It's not about Barack Obama.

Next time, focus on the task at hand!

Don't mess with Grumpy Grandpa McCain, he will send you to your room without any dessert, then forget why he sent you there in the first place.

Wake up John McCain. How many of your rich republican supporters of the war in Iraq have served, and how many of their relatives have served? I'm so sick of their macho crap about cut and run, surrender, etc.I am not a member of your party, but being a former Airedale Navy Sailor i did respect you. Do the tough talking clowns you represent respect your military service? I don't agree with sending our service members to Iraq to be killed, and to kill others.

Our troops need to come home, McLame.

I totally agree with you army captain and thank you for your service. I'm going to Iraq next year and dreeding to go…why can't the civilians realize we cannot win over there. Also, people like ron need to serve in the military obviously they don't respect us! Thanks again army captain!

As a still serving veteran of 27 years I believe McCain is intolerant of any views regarding Iraq that differ from his own. He has wedged himself into the nomination with an unrealistic solution and is determined to not waiver on this issue. He has really becom pathetic and cares little for the tropps as he has systematically voted against their needs for years. The troops serve with honor now and pulling out from a misguided pre-emptive war is not surrendering. We achieved the military mission. Those who decry that we have to stay there regadless of the deaths need to put their money where their mouth is and enlist.

There will be no country for old men! Say no to this WARMONGER!

Obama '08!

Is it possible for McCain to start thinking diplomacy instead of harping on fighting and winning this war as long as it takes? Hasn't it been long enough, now? It's time for some policy changes and McCain doesn't appear to be entertaining that possibility. Why he continues to follow Bush's policy in Iraq is beyond comprehension, especially, after over 70% of Americans are against this war and want to bring it to an end soonest.

"I'll never surrender in Iraq?" Never say never, John.
As in, I'll never vote for John McCain.
Ooops…that would be just like a politician…I misspoke. Allow me to correct myself. I'll not consider voting for McCain. Or Obama.
Third party please stand up!

Typical military guy– it's all about 'victory and honor,' right? PLEASE. Put your pride aside, bring out troops home.

This will be your downfall in November McCain… America doesn't want to be at war anymore. This just shows how out of touch you are.

Ron,

You seriously need some help. "Hussein Obama"…that's a nice touch, you fear monger. I hope the good people of this country wake from their deep sleep and rise up against politicians and people like you. Only then will the true spirit of America be fully realized.

Please people, start writing to your congressmen and women. Start taking an active involvement in politics. Things will never change unless we change them.

What is victory in Iraq?

Has any of the Oil Club told us what that is yet?

At first, I couldn't imagine anyone voting for this guy. But then I realized that both Dem candidates want to use my hard earned tax money to bail out morons who didnt realize that house prices were inflated and ARMs and NegAm loans were a bad idea. In actuality, it'll only bail out those that have claim to these mortgages, not the borrowers. As prices CONTINUE to fall (which they will), homedebtors will continue to walk away despite whatever bailout they've received.

Call it the MBA in me but rewarding uninformed people's financial stupidity with my tax dollars when I knew prices were headed down and I needed 20% and a fixed mortgage…is just a slap in the face.

In short? I hate the war, but I don't wait a stupid bailout. IDK '08. Dems are all about helping people who can't help themselves, etc, but about 90% of these people's predicaments were built on their own greed and ignorance, not anyone/anything else. Then again, we need to get the hell out of Iraq NOW. It's a waste of time. These people were POLLED, and a majority of people want a constitution based on Islam – which, like all religions, does NOT equal democracy (or logic). So what are we going to do convince them otherwise? Give me a break. Either our government is extremely cocky to think they can counter thousands of years of beliefs, or there's another agenda. Either way, it's BS.

Scott W. May 27th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Don't blame me, I voted for RON PAUL.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!
"The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Ron Paul
#1 on Amazon
#1 New York Times Bestseller

Read it.

LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN

McCain please define victory? It's now 5 years +. A point on the GI bill? McCain with the war in Iraq and Afganistan and the deplorable conditions at Walter Reed and other bases during your tenure, and your experience being a war hero. How on earth could you argue about this bill? If you really want to show your support, then incorporate your bill with the one that just Webb has out there which includes educational benefits for family. This is what working together is all about. Our troops deserve everything the US can offer them and their families.

McCain calls himself a patriot and says no one respects the service men and women of this country more than he does, yet he is against the GI Bill put forth by Sen. Jim Webb of VA guaranteeing all military personnel full benefits after a year of service. Apparently what was good enough for McCain is not good enough for todays men and women in uniform.

McCain will turn his back on the service men and women of this country, as well as the rest of to get what he wants. TYPICAL REPUBLICAN. Hasn't the last 8 horrific years opened America's eyes???????? WAKE UP PEOPLE!

ONCE AGAIN, intolerant liberal Democrats interfere with the "rights" of American to express their views.

What a truely sad bunch………………………..

Why is it so hard for "The best polital team on tv" to update there own delegate counter.

As a war veteran myself, I'm sick of this notion that many veterens (McCain included) think of themselves as some kind of super citizen. It's disgusting that he thinks Obama has no right to mingle in veterans affairs or be commander in chief because he didn't put on a uniform…Obama clearly had the foresight to not get caught up in the pro-war hysteria and give his approval to this debacle. THAT in itself makes him supremely qualified to be commander-in-chief…I don't care how many shiny buttons and pins you have on your uniform or if if you have one at all.

C'mon, people, stop calling him an old man. I have the deepest respect for McCain and his commitment to this country. He suffered in service for America in ways most of us cannot even imagine.

However, I think that his Vietnam service is clouding his judgment, making it impossible to admit that this was an unjust war that should never have been waged. Object to his policies; critique his poor judgment in not seeing the financial writing on the wall; reject his attempt to continue the same Bush policies and to sell out to the conservatives. But don't question the man's integrity, devotion, or service to this country.

Incidentally, I am a staunch Obama supporter. I trust most Clinton supporters are smart enough to swallow their bitterness from the primary and do what is best for themselves and America–if they are capable of rational thought, anyway.

I am tired of people on the news saying how americans hate to lose so we will stay in this war tell we win. STOP SPEAKING FOR ME. We have been losing as a country for the last 12 years. No one has done one thing for the american people. What Washington has forgot is "We the People" and not "You the top 10 to 15% wealthy".

It is time "We the People" take back our country.

We should never have gone into this war, we now have a broken country.

Bush needs to get it together, start taking CARE of our service men and our country. Get it together or get out! That is what we hired you to do, Washington start doing your jobs.

How does a political or foreign policy failure determine the success or failure of a military campaign. I'm tired of hearing these beaurocratic bone heads trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Just because their idea of a solution failed doesn't constitue a failure on the military. The military has done what it was asked to do. They deserve the utmost distinction that our country can give them no matter the circumstances of their return home. We as a country threw them into this mess and tied their hands with bad equipment and unrealistic goals and we just expect every thing will come out rosey. Sometimes we make mistakes it just takes a true leader to admit it.

The Obamaniacs at work again!!

Ron,

Glad to see you're willing to sacrifice everyone else but you for your war fanatsy.

let me re-write

For all of McCain's so called "war expertise" to date he fails to realize….or at least admit…..we are NOT in a war in Iraq. The "war" ended almost 5 years ago.

We've been locked in this absolutely moronic position where we are caught in the middle of a civil war.

If Joe Lieberman was present…he could correct McCain so he doesn't continue to mistake our occupation in Iraq with a war.

Pity the old gentleman his loss of orientation.

These may be the finest moments of McCain. Once he has to deal with Obama on policy and vision, he will be toast.

the protesters are obviously unemployed bums. get a job you democrat degenerates!

McCain is a war pig. We don't need another right wing kook in office.

How long until McCain starts referring to the insurgents as the "Viet Cong"? It's obvious that he's one of the people that believe we only lost the Vietnam war because we stopped fighting. He's still fighting the (Vietnam) war in his head!

McCain will not go to the white house this year. He has join forces with Bush again. No McCain not this time. America is deternine not to let you into the white house. McCain has no intention of changing the Bush policies. McCain is one of the same with Bush. Both of them are losers.

Hey, Vince in NC-

To answer your question: Yes, it is our problem if the Iraqi state fails and Iran comes to dominate the middle east. For a number of complex, interconnected reasons, we cannot afford to let Iraq fail.

If they don't make it work, there will be even bigger problems with oil supply- due to who will control the vast iraqi reserves (most likely iranians).

So, instead of regurgitating the typical and sad democratic party line, why don't you do a little research and hit the books. I suppose you could be one of those liberals who doesn't want us to drill for oil in the wildlife reserve in alaska or off the coasts, you want to "protect the environment," but you won't bother to look here first. You want to make us dependent on foreign oil, and then just give up a major line of supply to Iran, by pulling out of Iraq and declaring it a failed state.

Thats just one small facet of the complex situation we face.

Don't let obama and his anti-American drug users fool you!

My name is Sgt. Baird. I am in the Army over in Iraq. I watch this sights and posts with disappointment that the freedom I am willing to give my life for is so people can bicker like this. Yes this was a bad guided war and yes young American's have lost their lifes for its cuase. And yes we all wish we could come home, but at what cost. Ask yourself this before you protest to bring the troops home. If we leave, who are to protect the innocent over here, the children, the wifes, the husbands, the sons. I joined this military to fight for freedom both at home and abroad. Is their freedom any less important then ours?

Please, could someone ask McCain what exactly he means by 'victory'? Victory against what or who? What/who are they fighting against in Iraq? What is the war all about? Why are they wasting american money and resources fighting the war? Who is benefiting? What is 'VICTORY'? You hear of wars between two countries/powers for a certain purpose, but the Iraq war has no goal nor opponent…John McSame, please clarify what 'victory' means. Thank you.

I really don't like the man (McCain) but he is not nearly as scary as Obama and Michelle and their deep seeded hate for whites and America. Obama doesn't have a clue about foreign policy and he will sell out our country to the Muslims like Bush has to the Saudis and big oil. Anyone but Obama in 08!

Heckling McLame is the patriotic duty of all real Americans. No to 100 years of war in Iraq!

No to mcLame!

No to McBush!

Yes to Obama!
Yes we can!

American Party,

I love your words. They speak of you of little integrity and character. You are too big a coward to even attach your name to your own words, or perhaps you are not smart enough to come up with these words yourself?

". . . we don't interfere with others' right to free speech" McCain said as one group of protesters were escorted out.
Am I the only one who finds this sentence funny?

How many American lives is McCain's pride worth?

As far as I can tell, all the objectives for Iraq have been met:

1. Secure Iraq against the threat of spreading WMD to terrorist groups that might use them against the USA — check.

2. Remove Saddam Hussein, his family and his followers from power — check.

3. Institute a democratic government in Iraq — check.

4. Have democratic elections in Iraq — check.

What else are we doing there? At what point do we have to say that we have done all we can do, it's time to go?

Meanwhile the Taliban is trying to mount a comeback in Afghanistan, bin Ladin is still breathing air and putting out tapes to al Jazeera, and we have more enemies than we did on September 11, not less. So could someone please explain to me why we are wasting our time in Iraq instead of refocusing our forces on the people who hit us on 9/11?

If McCain doesn't want to be coined "fear monger" "war monger" then he needs to let up a litte. We've all heard his war stories, we all know he's patriotic, we all know he was a POW…enough already.

I want to hear about the economy. So far the only candidate who acts and talks like a true leader is Obama.

This is a country, not a commercial for the pentagon.

John McCain needs to get his old behind on the battle field to see what these young men and women are going through.

Alex,

You are unfortunately one of a kind.
May 27th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Republicans LOVE war. psycho people.

STUPID AZZ BIGOT.

"Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor to a government that doesn't support the veterans with healthcare or education."

There, I fixed your quote, McCain.

For of McCain's so called "war expertise" to date he fails to realize….or at least admit…..we are NOT in a war in Iraq. The "war" ended almost 5 years ago.

We've been locked in this absolutely moronic position where we are caught in the middel of a civil war.

If Joe Lieberman was present…he cought correct McCain so he doesn't continue to mistake our occupation in Iraq with a war.

Pity the old gentleman his loss of orientation.

Also, what gets me is that he thinks that anti-war people are making plans to “surrender”. Maybe after we surrender then they’ll send in a leader to take over the White House and kick out the current president. Yes, this is the kind of world that the filthy liberals want you to live in. And that’s exactly why we stay in Iraq. And, at this stage of the argument, all the intelligent people are going to be dead due to head explosion because of the sheer stupidity of the argument.

I wouldnt be suprised if bush started another war right before he got out of office, to help McSame's stance on war!!!

obama 08′

He sure as hell surrendered in Vietnam; so what is his problem?
Or did some one else waive the white flag for him?

McCain and the other Republican twits that think the Iraq war can be won if we just throw enough of our young men and women at it should be forced to go to Andrews Air Force base each day and watch the coffins being unloaded from the transport planes. What appallling arrogance to think we can fix something so completely screwed up.
Our kids will continue to die, because W and his boys have no strategy other than to throw more and more troops at a problem that needs to be solved politically, economically, and socially.

It's time for the Iraqis to solve their own problems. If they don't have the guts to stand up and fight their own battles, then they don't deserve to have their country. The puppet government we set up over there will either face the challenges, or be replaced. it's time for them to stop feeding at the trough of American good will.

RON, you are just plain stupid. There it is. There is just no other way to say it.

May 27th, 2008 1:32 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Thank you, skylark. Well said.

John McCain is a threat to global security.

P.S. I am so annoyed that so few of my posts make it to the comments, whereas there are other times when a triple post of the same information is allowed on. What is the critierion by which posts are judged?

Sounds a lot like Bush to me……

What means victory?….Bush's reasoning for being there keeps changing.

* WMD's?…….
* Get Saddam?……
* Set up elections?……
* Set up a Government?……
* Restore utilities?……
* Organize police force?……..
* Train an army?………
* Mediate religious conflicts?….
* Push democracy?…….
* Fight terrorism?….
* Intimidate Iran into war?….
* What happened to Bin Laden?……………..

You and that idiot Bush dont have a clue…And HILLARY voting to go there made it even worse! BRING THE TROOPS HOME!

When Obama gets elected he will bring our honored troops home.

OBAMA '08!

I'm curious what McCain would consider victory. This is war on terrorism. This is a problem with deep roots. Until we can solve the problem of poverty and the Israeli / Palestine conflict, there will always be terrorism.

So McCain, who is really naive and lacking in judgement? He says we are winning…What does that mean? Are there fewer terrorists out there today then yesterday? I doubt it….

For once tell the people the truth….

VICTORY FROM WHAT???????????WASN"T HUSSEIN THE CAUSE OF THE IRAQ WAR??????????????McCain is still in 2000 when he wanted to be president!!OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband serves in Iraq, his 5th tour and is as proud to meet this obligation as the ones to Afghanistan and his previous Iraq tours. He and the rest of them will not have honor until they have victory. You people who bash him are along the lines of the Vietnam War debacle citizens who settled for what we had to end the war, you have no honor. What will you say when this country goes through another 9/11, it is the actions of this administration and these brave men and women who have allowed you to get on here and speak your trash ensuring this does not happen again so you can speak your foolishness. You may want to go back and review who on the Dem side voted to go to war, you all remind me of the sports fans who jumped on the band-wagon when a certain team started winning claiming you were a fan all along. Those of you and your comments disgust me and are not even worth to call yourselves Americans…. Signed…..A proud wife.

I will bet this man has los his bearing. Bush who is McCain's "mentor" is currently negotiating with North Korea, and is sending an envoy to meet with Bashir in Sudan while allowing GE to do business with Iran. Hmm, I wonder. I guess we don't need to talk with our enemies. The fear tactics worked in the past when most Americans were lost, but guess what, we are now found, and we are tired of this adminitrations manipulations.

A vote for McCain is a vote for a never-ending war in Iraq and a yes to war with Iran.

McCain is as dangerous as Bush, even more so becuase McCain has a brain.

"My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote?"

We have been. You old idiots have been giving us crappy choices, obvious political animals who're wholly co-opted by lobbyists and special interests, and telling us that we should vote for them. And, previously, we have been. Now we're happy that we have someone better, and you all just can't stand that you know you've supported a system that's been so wrong for so long.

These people, as well as some posters, give an insight into the angry and bitter left who will fight for "rights" of enemies, but attempt to silence opinions different from their own.

Iraq never attacked us NO 1. NO2 Iraq had nothing to do with 911, no3 no W.M.D.'s WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DUMB OLD MAN TALKING ABOUT. THE SAME BULL GEOREG BUSH GAVE US SAY NO TO THE MCCAIN WAR!!!! (YES OBAMA CAN)!!

Being a former member of our Armed Services, I see this war in Iraq as something that can never fully be, for lack of a better word, won. This war has now become about an ideology, not an actual purpose. Once Saddam was captured, we thought it would be peace throughout Iraq and the people have continued to show us that they do not want us there. I am so proud of our military and what they do to sacrifice on a daily basis, but let's be honest, we need to bring our troops home. It would not be "surrendering" nor would it be "quitting." It would be doing what's right for our country. We've already put their country at a disadvantage, let's make sure ours doesn't fall into disarray. Do we all remember the sign on the battleship that read "Mission Accomplished"? What has changed? Have we accomplished the mission or no? Let's bring our brothers and sisters home…NOW!!!!

People who claim to believe in the right of free speech and then interrupt someone exercising that right are the worst kind of hypocrites.

blood-thirsty war monger

How many of you saying we need to stay until we win (which we never will – these people don't back down because they don't fear death as we do)…how many of you are posting from your foxholes in Iraq?

Aren't we running out of soldiers? I realize it's a trivial problem, but shouldn't we try to resolve it before we commit to another several years?

And isn't this country running out of money? Aren't we in a recession?

And my last question is: If we have a Democratic congress (with a larger majority), what do you think the odds are that they stop funding the war?

McCain: "One thing we don't do is interfere with others' right to free speech."

–> So why don't you let them speak instead of kicking them out of the room ?

McCain "Jokes", what else is new.

"Never surrender in Iraq"; aren't the Bush's wallets full enough, or is McCain planning to profit from this war also?

Better hope this guy isn't elected president, as big of a mess this country's in already. McCain will definiately finish destroying this country's meaning and purpose of our existence.

And our troops, they do need to come home, but with McCain, don't count on it. I can say this though, my sons will never serve this country under a guy like McCain or Bush, I will make sure of it.

Carl Los Angeles, all you are doing by pointing out that McCain voted to authorize the war is letting the Republicans shape that debate, just like Bush let the Democrats shape the debate definfing success in Iraq by allowing the argument to revolve around the finding of WMDs.

Many of your party elders also voted to authorize the war, including John Kerry, and the Republicans used this to their advantage in 2004. Obama was not in the Senate when that vote was taken… so saying that he didn't vote for the War as some positive qualification would be like a 15 year old bragging that they didn't vote for Jimmy Carter.

delusional old man give us a break. Our troops will come home with honor..remember the war is a lie.

So no honor would b????

Rep party? hello

Rep's are nothing more then warmongers

No way will this country vote 4 more yrs of this stupid war.

get real McBush!

"I will never surrender." Hillary is that you?

Obama supporters would like to take away his right to free speech
They are pathetic. I think the country will wise up before November and Obama will go back to the streets of Chicago. This only proves how anti- American they really are.

Senator McCain– This is the beginning of unrest.

Please excuse
their rudeness
and/or
the rudeness of a country and a group of legislators so uninformed and unwilling to see their mistakes that they will allow others to die for them.

We pulled out of Vietnam–just think where you would be if that lasted as long as the Iraqi War.

History Lesson–How do you spell Iraq–Vietnam

McCain, we are all surrendering , are children in that unspeakable mayhem of a war that isn't even, or never should have been, it was about greed and power, did you bother to listen to the boys at the congressional hearing , about the coruption ,and they know it's wrong to be there, doing the horrible things they are told to do, to keep occupying that country, What in God's name do you call winning???? When all the poor people that live there are dead, women and children slaughtered like animals in a pen, and we even treat animals better. It is discussting to me that there are people that will vote for you, thinking that you will make everything o.k., you are discussting to say the very least, mc bush. You play the nice guy part, but a war monger under the sheeps cloth!

Most likely some Obama supporters. They don't know any better.. Maybe they listened to Rev J. Wright to much…………………….No, wait a minute, slept for 20 years and didn't listen and didn't know. YEA RIGHT!

Your bad JUDGEMENT to take us to IRAQ war has costed our ECONOMY, EDUCATION, NATIONAL SECURITY, ……………………

OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN SERVICE ALREADY HAVE HONOR.

BOOOOOOOO…….McBUSH

Keep on dreaming McSame!!!! You will not win the Iraq war. You said:" I will never surrender in Iraq". This is easy for you to say because you don't have a son or daughter in that country, you don't care about all the money the USA spend in Iraq and you don't care about the struggle o fthe American people. We don't need your face!!!!! Go away.

How can you restore honor to soldiers fighting in an unjust war?

I don't see how you can surrender to an ideology Mr. McCain.

Vince in NC – " we ousted Saddam, rid the country of the non-existent WMD's,…"

There ARE wmd in Iraq. My brother in law is in the military and he confirmed that they absolutely found wmd in Iraq. I'm not sure why this isn't being reported… liberal media I guess….

Mcsame's problem is that he has no real ideas or solutions for the blunder that is Iraq. He is engaged in wishful thinking, hes gambling and he is more of the same failed Bush foreign policy fiasco. Mcsam's problem is not his old age but his old ideas which are irrelevant to Americas future.

If Bush doesn't take us to war with Iran before he leaves the White House, McCain sure will if he gets in. VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Hey McCain….. seems like u are still in a dream thinking we are still in Vietnam war surrounded by thousands of so called enemies shooting at us….. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Vietnam war is over and we lost and we decided to CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To McCain this is all about winning. Listen to how he says we cant have Al Qaeda claiming they beat us. Who cares if they claim that!?! We know the truth. This was never going to be won or lost anyway. Get over it John.

John McCaine speaks so often of never surrendering in Iraq – I am puzzled, who would we surrender to? We invaded a country, there is no real identifiable enemy, rather then "surrender" lets say that we will get out of a country we are not welcome in. Could that explain a lot of the resistance?

End the WAR. End the blood shed. Send all the Bush, Cheney, and Mccain family members to Iraq to serve. Instead of innocent young kids, you should be giving your lives for this unjust war you got us into.

Republicans and war cannot be separted. It's in their DNA!

"Victory"???

What the hell are we in Iraq for, again??

McCain doesn't give Foreign Policy speeches; he gives War Policy speeches.

And Bush III starts his campaign in the tradition of his Bush predecessors. No dissent allowed and gung ho on we go…. The Bush Wars were based on LIES and represent one of the lowest points this country has gone through.

Bush III stands there and rants about VICTORY without ever defining it…. sound familiar?

VOTE OBAMA FOR CHANGE

Whatever happened to peace? I don't see America being a leader of peace with this war in Iraq… a war that should have never been started. I as an American take no pride in kiing innocent people… its not about winning or losing…. its about all the innocent lives that have been lost in this war. Bush ought to be a stone cold alcoholic from all the souls that have been lost in this unnecessary war.

I pray God have mercy on his soul…. but what does he care.. he has never worked a day in his life…. have never served any thing for our country… .. and yes.. he will go down in history as the WORST PRESIDEN that has ever cheated his way into the White House….

And by the way.. i will never surrender in Iraq…………………………
loser.
there is a well known saying.. something about Pride and Falling?
loser.

I don't support McCain at all, but those kinds of protesters are doing a bit of harm to others who honestly want change.

My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. Go back and check the record…Obama released his platform weeks after Clinton released her Solutions For America agenda. His were extremely similar to hers. The Clinton campaign reacted to the release of the Obama platform by saying…”at least his is not that different than ours” So I ask you, what does this man stand for when he copies what it convenient to his campaign? For shame!

Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement — your time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought or experience as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. The simple and relevant truth is……. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time.

McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him. He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.

For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.

I believe McCain is still fighting old war (Vietnam). There is no victory in wars, and Particularly not in Bagdad because of the reasons we went in there. We went in there based on Lies and false pretence. Our Men in the Military are already brave men and women because they have done their job under uncertain odds. They don't need a victory in Bagdad to be called brave men and women. This is the longest war we have ever fought and for what? Lies and more Lies. They need to come home and we need to start taking care of our own people for a change with all the billions we are spending in Iraq. We Americans needs to speak up and demand change. The only way we can do that is not to settle for the same old propaganda from tired old man like McCain. And you really don't have to have served in the military to be President of this country Like he would like us to believe.

Let's demand change Americans.

This man is insane and a threat to the entire world.

McCain is a blood-thirsty war monger.

Let there be no mistake, when it comes to war McCain and Bush are joined at the hip!

Liberals absolutely kill me. Make a comment about Clinton's gender or Obama's race and they come down on you like a load of bricks. But if it's McCain it's all right to say, "go back to the old folk's home". Libs are the epitomy of a double-standard.

Funny how it's not "surrendering" when McCain panders and says that the war will be over by 2013.

Of course, HE can set a deadline, but anyone else who suggests such is guilty of "surrendering."

How can anyone buy this??

"I have town hall meetings all the time when people are allowed to come and state their views. One thing we don't do is interfere with others' right to free speech," McCain said as one group of protesters were escorted out.

Oh, really? Is that why McCain has been so condescending and dismissive of Obama's right to stand up for his position on the war in Iraq? Is that why McCain and Bush have been so dismissive of the majority of Americans who want to withdraw from Iraq?

I am not looking forward to a McCain presidency. All he knows about is war, but nothing about diplomacy or even respect for others with different views.

Booooooo

It's easy to state six years later that the war was wrong.

When it was proposed, EVERYBODY was for it. Bush's approval at the time was in the eighties, and it would have been impossible if the House and the Senate hadn't agreed.

I'm SO glad that we have a president who doesn't rule by what most of the idiot public thinks at the time. To quote Cheney

"So?"

My whole family is military and we all support our commander in cheif and the warriors who do battle for your right to be beatnik hippies.

they'll come him victory and with honor, but NOT with good health care, unemployment benefits, or college money, you hypocritical creep!!! how dare you talk about our troops when YOU and your huggy-kissy buddy bush are denying them them the benefits they DESERVE for risking their lives for our country!!!

i hope you mccainies know that john mccain DIDNT EVEN BOTHER to show up and vote for the benefits our troops DESERVE!!!

the repugs SAY they support our troops, but it's just a slogan and empty yellow-ribbon magnet to them. ACTIONS speak louder than their empty words, and their ACTION was to NOT support our troops.

there is "supporting the office of the presidency" and then there is voting against your own interest, a vote for mccain is EXACTLY that!!!

Watching the latter half of the speech on CNN was scary. This guy is all about nukes and Iran, and he's obsessed with both. Not somebody whose finger I want so close to the Big Button.

Victory and Honor (can anyone define it?) with no G.I. Bill so the American Dream will be as elusive to them as it is to most other Americans.

McCain's (media ignored) Triple Play: Hagee, Parsley, and Falwell.

I'm not swayed by these protesters. I will vote for Hillary or McCain.

Mc"Bush" is an old fool and so are his ideas. I would have heckled him too. RIGHT ON!

You liberals are so hateful and disrespectful. I don't like Republicans or Democrats, I think they are basically the same.

But its like Mr. McCain said, be respectful and don't interfere with another person's right to free speech.

Maybe you should go hang out with Jimmy Carter- Your beloved Obama is as liberal as Jimmy, just wait and see what a disaster this guy is in office. I am willing to sacrifice 4 years of anther crappy president if it take away the delusions of all you socialist commie liberals. WAKE UP, we are not a socialist nation! Thats why i am forced to vote for mccain. hes not exactly my cup of tea, im more conservative.

They SHOULD have heckled him about his opposition to the new GI Bill… His sorry butt didn't even show up to vote on it–he was too busy raising money with the owners of a pro football team. Shows where his priorities are.

Support the GI Bill John, and prove that "Support The Troops" are more than hollow words coming from you.

Just checking in to see what McCain's position is on Iraq today.

Seriously, if he believes that leaving Iraq equates to surrender, he's saying we can NEVER leave.

There was a time when Mr. McCain stood up to the Bush administration's stranger polices. Now he just parrots them.

Look at this barage of short sighted responses. Where do you think islamic extreamist will stop? The middle East? Europe? Asia? Do you believe they are too lazzy to cross the ocean?

Ha! Ha! John Mc "Looks Like He's in Pain"

There is a major disconnect from washington politics and the American People. We have to many of our young people now risking theirlives on a daily basis because this Administation and this Nominee wants to see things thru. We should have never set foot in Iraq and we must go. This is the type of respect that John McCain gives this country's veterans, a continuation of a war that should have never been sought and the non support of the 1940's GI Bill.

This is not a leaer of the future but a figure of the past. It's time to turn the page.

What are we not SURRENDERING. Please someone tell me. Iranian influence. We are the ones who made them stronger. Irag Oil. I thought we were not there for oil. What are we not SURRENDERING? Please someone tell me.

Only the beginning McShame, only the beginning!!!
There will be many more protests at many more of your speeches.
You'll never be my President.

End this WRONG WAR Now!!!!! 4,075… 4,075… worth of collateral damage!!! Rice, Bush and McCain that is all our young, old, women, men… are to these heartless, blinded by their own personal agendas …war at any cost! Nah I take that back war at BIG COST!!!

End this WAR Now!!!!!

Obama 2008!

You can expect more of the same wherever you go John McCain.

Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States.

YESSSSSSSSSS.. INTERRUP THIS MAN… let him know we had enough deaths and injured in the war… stop the war and take care of our injured soldiers!!! THIS WAR HAD MORE CASUALTIES THAN SEP 11!!!

Our country and our armed services cannot afford another leader like President Bush who would keep our overstretched military in Iraq for 100 years while ignoring the other threats our country faces both at home and around the world." McCain has said that U.S. troops could be in Iraq for many years if those troops were no longer being injured or killed. He also says the economy is strong but how can he not see that families like mine are struggling to pay for out-of-control health care costs, home heating bills, gasoline and college tuition. And to think i or anyone else for that matter can have four more years of the same Bush policies
Bush said McCain "won't flinch in the face of danger" and McCain strongly supports the U.S. efforts in Iraq. Electing a leader who would continue Bush's policies in Iraq would be a mistake.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

The GOP Is STILL trying to play to our sense of VICTORY.

Further proof that the SON and GRANDSON of Miltary ROYALTY has NO Idea what it means to serve as a common servicemember.

McCain just wants to keep that HUGE FREE MONEY pipeline to Bushs Buddies WIDE OPEN for as long as possible all the while pretending it is all about " Honor" and "Victory" He is just a full of BS asw Bush is and plays to the hopeless people who think their mission (yes I said "THEIR" Mission) is about anything more than greed, power and Oil.

Once the Democratic nomination is wrapped up by Obama and America's focus shifts to McCain, his feeble-mindedness and senility will be exposed. His 'support' will plummet.

Obama WILL be the next president. This is apparent to anyone of a certain intellectual level.

FYI, John, Withdrawal does not equal surrender. Think about those 4500+ young, gifted soldiers who gave their lives for an oil war. Do you want to be remembered as they candidate that lost because he supported an unjust & indefensible war?

Support our troops. Bring them home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only way this guy would win would be because of the Hillary supporters.

Poor McCain! He's at his best when he's conjuring up wars! He just keeps fighting and fighting and fighting! It's his only way of getting attention! If he's not fighting a war, he really doesn't have a reason to exist! How sad to be so old, and so angry! Does America REALLY need a McCain in the W.H. in THIS DAY AND TIME! McCain is 2 Old, 2 BE GIVEN, 4 PRECIOUS YEARS OF MY LIFE!!!

How many young Americans have to give up their lives or bodies to satisfy McCain's concept of "honor and victory" in Bush's Iraq War? Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith have committed a war crime in Iraq with tragic consequences for the 4,000 plus Americans killed and the 30,000 plus wounded as well as the Iraqis themselves. The Bush Repubican neocons have achieved their dream of regime change in Iraq but a nightmare of grief has spread across America. A vote for McCain will only continue this Bush Iraq War tragedy and may well include war with Iran!

Sounds a lot like Bush to me……

What means victory?….Bush's reasoning for being there keeps changing.

* WMD's?…….
* Get Saddam?……
* Set up elections?……
* Set up a Government?……
* Restore utilities?……
* Organize police force?……..
* Train an army?………
* Mediate religious conflicts?….
* Push democracy?…….
* Fight terrorism?….
* Intimidate Iran into war?….
* What happened to Bin Laden?……………..

You and that idiot Bush dont have a clue…And HILLARY voting to go there made it even worse! BRING THE TROOPS HOME!

When Obama gets elected he will bring our honored troops home.

OBAMA '08!

As I watched this happen live earlier, I was clapping in my living room for nobody to see. He may feel that this was rude of people to do, but he better get used to it. It goes to show that the level of dissent against this war and the mentality of the GOP destruction machine have reached a boiling point. McCain may never "surrender" in Iraq, but thankfully, a growing population in this country will never surrender to another 4 or 8 years of relentless manipulation and bullheadedness. Bring on change and bring on intelligent conflict resolution! This country can be looked highly upon by the rest of the world again, but not with the GOP in charge. NO MORE!
Obama '08

From this point forward John McCain will be known as "Body Bags McCain".

victory over what? how is it that we are suddenly at war with Iraq? I thought we were liberating them from a dictator. We've done that – hooray for us!

If we are at war with Iraq, it is bush who put us there.

Republicans LOVE war. psycho people.

McCain believes that winning is the most important thing; I think McCain believes that winning is the only thing……..and so did Hillary.

Of course the usual questions without any answers.

First of all, what is victory? We already won the military victory, we ousted Saddam, rid the country of the non-existent WMD's, we installed a new government. Is there realy any more we can do? Isn't it up to the Iraqi's now to make their country work? If they don't, is it our problem?

Our troops are already honorable for what they have done. Their honor is not contingent on 'when they come home'.

all the fools through all the ages…same old bluster…..'we. will. never. surrender'. I just wasn't certain until now that it also applied to illegal, illegitimate, phony wars where innocents on both sides are slaughtered by the folly of a few tired old men. McCain gives me that…well…that imperial Romanesque kind of twinge in my belly. It makes me sick.

Someone said it best in another comment;

'pride before the fall.!

What does McCain call victory? Our military has already achieved military victory. Does he think that we can give Iraq a democracy, then he is like a no good hound dog, by barking up the wrong tree.
He may be getting senile along with his age. If he and Bush think they can put in a puppet government and get the backing of the people in Iraq they are both nuts that have been in the sun too long.

Greg in Pottstown,

Where in the article did it say that those 4 sets were Democrats?

Nice spin.

Why do so many Americans seem to attach such a stigma to having one more insignificant entry into the "L" column. It's time we got over it and brought the troops home.

I am sick and tired of the Mccains of the world leaning on their time while serving as a stepping stone for many americans who will not or have chosend not to serve. I Have been in the army for 9 years and I am so please at the respect that I recieve from the civilian population I am also happy they have decided to support the USA in other terms serving your country is more than just being in the military. J. Mccain is like a cancer that many Soldiers would not feel privleged to deal with. He had his time in the lime light when he was serving and I bet he would of voted us out of this war if he was my age. I have 70-80% in my unit that I just beat up and tired more have lost there families of this war and many are just fed up with all the troubles…….The GI BILL veto will come but its a shame that its has not been pushed to the american people truthfully …..this bill would give the Soldiers too much power it would encourage them to leave the service and go to college…Mccain does not think that is a good Idea know that we will be serving in Iraq for the next 100 Years…Obama/Dems 08

ps. Hilary please lay off the Kennedys they can't help you its too late.

GO ARMY

People forget under what circumstances the vote for Iraq took place. A lot of people were very shaken after 9/11 and, even if there was a 1% chance that all the 'evidence' was true they didn't want their 'nay' to be the cause of another attack. This piece seems to be missing in your analysis CNN.
Further, this makes Barack's opposition even more valiant.

McCain is losing more of his bearings.

He's still trying to win one for Nixon. He's suffering from flashbacks which makes him even more dangerous.

MSNBC aka Muslim State National Broadcasting Corp. is pushing this Left Wing Nut Job in Training pants that can't win the votes of anyone except his cult; The obama team is now sending Daschle to get the working man's vote, now why in this world would Obama want to send a loser like Daschle to speak to blue collar workers? He's about as blue collar as Bill Gates. Anyway, these folks won't vote for Obama. They're smarter than that. " they voted Daschle out"

.Obama is an unelectable lightweight. At least McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry, whose footsteps Obama would soon be walking in if he successfully weasel his way into the nomination of the Democratic Party, had the experience to run a national campaign and the resume to be President of the United States.

Obama's nothing new. He's the same old story for the Democratic Party, with the comic twist that he's got a ridiculously thin resume that would be laughable if we weren't talking about losing the presidency of the United States yet again

Never retreat, never surrender. I don't care if every soldier in Iraq is killed, we can never give up! The stakes are too high. If you want the terrorists to win – vote for Hussein Obama. If not – vote for John McCain – a real American hero.

The neo-progressive way of promoting free speech..

Great post skylark. Thank you

McCain must 1) either know something the American public does not know about the specifics of the debacle in Iraq or 2) be guided by the ghosts of Vietnam in that he does not want to see what would appear to be another foreign policy defeat. McCain is enough of an independant-minded figure to challenge the missteps that have already taken place. I guess the third option is that he really thinks that American policy in Iraq can win a secure peace and viable government.

If we leave too abruptly without an adequate political infrastructure in place and the correct amount of security, Iraq will turn into a humanitarian crisis-ridden, civil war where Iran's militias will certainly win out. However, staying there as a strategic foothold in the region for generations to come will not, most likely, create stability in the region. The whole strategic course is faulty here. Nation-building is a commitment that Americans don't want.

This is a bitter pill for all of us. It is time to stop the blame game and get to work on real solutions. Withdrawl in 16 months is unrealistic Obama. Staying in Iraq long-term is not going to create stability, McCain. We need to re-stablish our credibility, re-build the coalition, and turn this baby over to the UN. Militarily we have all the capabilities to win. We just don't have the political will and Iraqi infrastructure to do so.

But it is probably too late for that.

A showdown with Iran, who conitnues to supply sanctuary to the militias in Iraq, is the next act in a series of risky, short-sighted attempts at not making the world safe for democracy, but making the world into democracy.

Don't blame me, I voted for RON PAUL.

Write in Hillary Clinton in November…We can make a difference in the General Election.

Gotta love how protestors shoot themselves in the foot by making themselves and their cause look foolish/childish.

I dont think we are protesting agianst the war ENOUGH

If McCain and Bush want to bring democracy to the middle east, they should start with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The reason all the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia is that Al Qaeda wants to overthrow the corrupt and brutal dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, the most conservative Muslim dictatorship in the Arab world, and America is Saudi Arabia's number 1 supporter. Saddam Hussein not only has nothing to do with 9/11, but viewed Al Qaeda as a threat to his dictatorship. The war against the people behind 9/11 is in Afghanistan and Pakistan, not Iraq. American politicians have to be more aware of the blow back they are generating in the Muslim world with their backing of Arab dictatorships in an effort to keep the price of gas low.

MCCAIN NO MORE WARS, THIS IS NOT OUR WAR YOU KNOW IT AND AMERICA KNOWS IT. STOP HANGING ON TO GWB COAT TAIL, IT'S STINKY BACK THERE. MCCAIN DO YOU HAVE ANY CHILDREN SERVING IN THIS WAR?

His view appears to be that, in Iraq, the choice between "victory" and "surrender". if that is the case, then our country has a real problem if he is elected. The only resolution to the conflict in Iraq is through engagement or negotiation and the same goes for most of our Middle East problems. If we cannot find a mutually agreeable future with the nations in the Middle East, and for they cannot with each other, and between our nation and the Islamic World, then we condemn ourselves and our children to ongoing strife.

If our leaders, like Bush and McCain, cannot understand this, then they cannot lead. It is not about capitulating, but we must find a way to achieve our goals for peace, stability, and economic growth for the United States and for the nations in that region.

If McCain only will pursue this war to "victory" and sees negotiation as "surrender", we WILL be fighting for decades, if not for 100 years.

I, too, would like to see our troops come home from the occupation with victory and honor. But five years in, we have neither. Our national reputation is in tatters around the world, al-Qaida is resurgent, Afghanistan is sliding back into chaos, and there is no victory on the horizon. I'm a progressive, and I like John McCain, but hopeful bromides and slogans aside, he has chained himself to a Texas-sized turd and I think he'll go down with the next flush.

I'm looking forward to seeing this primate whose views are no different than that of W's being blown away come November.
This so called war has made the U.S. the lauging stock of the planet. Iraq was invaded, and regardless of it's dictator NO country would put up with another country storming it's borders, bombing it's infrastrusture to bits, putting in place a puppet government then killing it's leader no matter how bad he or she was. Bush and company are to be sure the most corrupt in possibly the history of mankind, but even with that said American's would not tolerate another government doing what this country has done to Iraq.

It just occurred to me – our taxes are paying for the FUEL for Bush to go to a fundraiser for his fellow war-monger. I protest his abuse of taxpayers money – wasting petroleum for McSame's gain !!!!!

"Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor"

Sounds like peace with Honor, we tried that in Vietnam, how did that work out anyway?

he is old . He is losing his bearing. Both hillary and Mccain voted for the war

"What is the cost in young American lives for your "victory" Mr. McCain?"

What is the cost in American lives if we DON'T win in Iraq. Are we supposed to just let Bin Laden, and the others, organize another attack like 9/11/01? And why is everyone blaming Bush for getting into this war. The Senate voted for the war – why aren't you holding them accountable – especially the Hillary Clinton supporters. In my opinion, Bush's mistake was holding on to Rumsfeld for too long – a sentiment shared by John McCain. Now we've adopted a new strategy and we're winning.

Most of the world knows that the real source of terrorism has always been in Afghanistan. Why are the UN (and some US) troops there?

Obama is the only one who has made it clear that he will redeploy troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

I'm not surprised that McCain continues to pursue policies that spend over $130Billion annually in Iraq when he has twice stated that our (Canadian) health care system is no good (I would like to speak to his experts on the Canadian health care system to show them that we get better health care at a low cost per capita!)

After watching some of the gut-wrenching stories from Memorial Day, what's really absymal is the fact that their lives and their stories of pain and suffering for a war that they should have NEVER gone into… Why spend another day in Iraq? If some of the media reports are true and there are signs of improvements, then get the US troops deployed to where they are really needed. Or better yet get them home!

McCain would have voters believe that he will pull them out at a reasonable time, but by not setting some kind of timetable (other than that laughable 2013 spin) he will make SURE that those troops are deployed in Iraq until the satisfaction of his US government. Someone like McCain doesn't know when to quit, and won't be satisfied until everything is to his liking. He actually would keep those troops there for 15 years more if he felt it had to be done.

i do not want to moderate my comment.how about that fool makeshift?

Surrender! What are we surrendering? We still hold claim to the USA. Is he implying that our occupation of Iraq is leading to some claim. Define VICTORY in Iraq, Mr. McCain. Please come to your senses that there will be no victory against an enemy who's members continue to grow and strenghten each day we occupy Iraq. That said, how do we know which Iraqis are our friends and which are our delcared enemies? You are supporting Bush's failed war by staying the course with no end in sight. In the meantime our brave and honorable soldiers are fulfilling a duty to serve with no "real" objective beyond saving the oil-rich territories.

This Republic is voting Obama!

John McCain just because you were a prisoner at war, That was many
years ago. Please send our troops now; You're talking 2013 our troops will not make home half of them will be dead. The other half is
already gone. Thank God my brother was serving our Country when Bill Clinton was in Office. He made it home alive. So John you and George want to these guys suffer the way you did, Shame on you.

i think this guy would make the world unsafe place please stop him.

Unfortunately, McCain, when you wage a pre-emptive war where we are the aggressors, honor just isn't possible.

And before you make more of a fool of yourself McSame, there is a big difference between surrender and making a good decision. When you were in combat and your platoon was gettin its butt kicked i am sure once in a while you heard Fall Back! Sometimes its smart to pull back and change tactics instead of going until your brains are all over the ground. Is this too much for you to understand McSame? You look at the situation, evaluate it, make a decision, and act on it. Then you regroup and if necessary you go back with a new tactic. Perhaps if you would have been commanding your platoon the whole lot of you would be dead. Just think, we would not be hearing your dribble now. You are such a puppet!

You anti war, anti American, jerks make me sick !!!! You easily forget that most of the demon crats voted for the war in the first place then when the fighting gets a little tough you all want to run and hide! I'm sure glad you whiners weren’t around during any of the other major conflicts the U.S.A. has faced in years past or else we might be speaking German right now or might still be a British colony.

Iranian's in the Outfield? Go John 'Man of the Moment' McCain.
By the way, you make good Pizza… ????… Not your's!!! Never mind you're still a Winner….

Shortsighted idiots. God save us from the misguided self-fulfilling prophecy of the far left. And don't tell me you support our troops when everything you say and do is precisely the opposite of that.

We are winning this conflict, despite the naysayers. The only thing preventing earlier victory is the terrorists' knowledge that there is significant dissent here at home, and their hope it will continue. If we don't address the issue of terrorism now, it will never be addressed, especially not with Obama style leadership in both the Exceutive and Legislative branches.

I can't even begin to imagine the world we'd get if we surrendered. I'd rather not be around to see the result of surrender.

Our troops already have honor and are victorious. They always will be.

Let Iraqis fix their country, and bring our troops home to their families. It's been long enough.

McCain didn't mention anything about the horrifying increasing number of suicides by our returning troops.

McCAIN CHIEF OF THE WAR PARTY.—IF HE ELECTED PRESIDET WE WILL BE AT WAR WITH IRAN BY JAN. OF NEXT YEAR AND WE WIL BE IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR A HUNDRED YEARS. ALSO, OUR NATIONAL DEBT WILL GO UP TO 20 TRILLION. HE WILL LOWER YOUR TAXES TO ZERO, OF COURSE YOU WON'T HAVE A JOB TO PAY TAXES ANYWAY.

"Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor…"

Well, the ones that aren't killed because we need to appease a do-nothing Iraqi governement who seem to enjoy watching our men and women die while they drag their feet, anyway.

Isn't it time we let Iraqis define their own future, imperfect as it may be? It took us almost 150 years to go from new nation to world power. In that time we went through a civil war and a lot of growing pains but we did it on our own. Iraq deserves the same opportunity.

This guy needed that PTSD screening becaue he is still trying to win the war in Viet Nam
A good stooge was chosen to continue the Bush wars.

Isn't "escorting" out protesters basically impeding free speech, in and of itself?

What is success???? This war is about money and oil. End this war now and bring our troops home. While you are at it, help them go to school and have a career after they get home Mccain.

Shame on you Mccain, the warmonger

End this war!!!!!!

Obama 08

Yeah, and Custer never surrendered either…and we all know how far he got with that attitude.

Not to deny that there are some genuine and protesters on McCain's trail, but remember that in the past the GOP, its supporting splinter groups, and its candidates have hired and otherwise encouraged "protesters" to stage scenes like this. VP Spiro Agnew was especially fond of setting them up to give him opportunities to denounce "niggling nabobs of negativity." Expect more of the same. They make McCain look good, in a pretty obvious way.

It's the Maker's Mark, without a barrel, without alcohol. How about that? Picked and Made'em. Just 1 Man.

"They would not be proud of what some of us have become."

You have no understanding of history, do you?

What about the dead soldiers? What do they come home with?

What if this isn't black and white (win or loose)? What if we ALREADY did our job there and now it's time for the Iraqi people to step up to the plate and take over this job?

What if we just bring our boys home before more of them die?

What if you made up your mind about WHEN you want to bring them home?

Its not about surrender, John. We have nothing left to prove.

Make that I will bring our troops home dead, suffering, wounded and lacking in veterans benefits, health care, PTDS screening or college benefits. And then I will send them back for a few more tours because now that we have done the shock and awe thing we have to get rid of Al Qaida and build permanent bases and get at the oil forever.

This guy needs to let the Vietnam thing go already. I feel very badly for what happened to him & other brave soldiers in Hanoi; but that war was a generation ago. We have no business in Iraq & never did. If we wanted to invade the real terrorist nests, we should have invaded Saudi Arabia & Pakastan… oh wait, they are our "allies" (as long as they have things we need, like oil & strategic locations)…

If your of draft age or have children that will be . John mcSame is your guy. Let's not forget Republicans see war scrictly as a money making venture, they can talk democracy all they want. But at the end of the day it's about the money. Look at todays situation in Iraq, billions of dollars said to be sitting in some bank.
Question of the day just the interest alone can some brilliant mind give me and idea of how much daily this would amount to? While average Americans continue to pay the borrowed money back to China and others.

"I will never surrender in Iraq" – OK, But can you win? All you seem to care about at this time is your image and the image of the US as tough guys-don’t mess us – this post WII mentality is out of date.

The reality is that we can never really win in the middle-east due to the vast differences in culture and religion. All we can do is keep the Arab/Jewish states weak by infighting- a fight we should not get in the middle of.

In the mean time China is kicking our Butt's in the $$$$$ war.

>>> Is there some reason my comments NEVER make it in??? I would like to see my 2 cents worth of an opinion to show up in print, especially when I see others have 3 or 4 comments show up in a single session!!! <<<<

If he isn't hendering another person's right to free speech then instead of blowing out alot of the usual political song and dance…invite him onto the stage…if free speech isn't be hendered. Try and see what point they are getting across. if it is unfounded then they look like the idiots.

Old men send them to war,and the young men fight

I just want to thank gw Bush and Johnny McSame for making it so easy to roll over the GOP in the fall and return our country to greatness under our new President Barack Obama. McSame is so out of touch, and he proves it with every word that comes out of his mouth, I can't wait for the prctures of him and Bush together that will truely be worth a million words. Obama 08,12 Hope, peace and prosperity finnaly 1-20-09 the end of Bush politics and the change our country needs.

Where have y'all been? The surge is working.

Bush's goal is to have no attacks here in Amer and guess what?

No attacks.

Most Americans opposed getting involved in WWII and how did that turn out?

I trust our generals and admin more than I trust the likes of Pelosi and Durban the turban.

What victory? What a fool.

Just to show how very out-of-touch McCain is, little did he know his own words would come back to bite him very harm, because they do describe him wholeheartedly – "McCain has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq. I think the American people would judge that very harshly."

It is you McCain who has been judged very harshly by the American people and the thousands of men and women who have lost their lives in this "rash war" that you have helped to facilitate.

It is true what Ed Shultz has been saying all along – McCain is a war-monger.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

This is an ellegal war and there will never be "victory", only death. Get real McCain and quite being a warmonger!! That is why you will never win and that is the big reason there is such a movement accross this country for the last couple years. WE THE PEOPLE are taking back our country!!! NO MORE WARS!!!! NO MORE KILLINGS AND NO MORE WAR FOR OIL! Go Obama!!!!

Our troops are not cannon fodder for Mobil-Exxon! They deserve educational benefits! Bring them home now and tell McSame and his pal Dumbya that their failed foreign policy is toast!

McLame, look what your so called experience has gotten America into. Straight talk express, huh? Sounds to me like straight b.s. express. Don't you have any policies of your or only the ones Bush has given you. Go home old man.

McCain is trying to deliver a "victory" for Vietnam — to honor himself . That is all this is about. Iraq was the worse foreign policy blunder in history. Google Robert Byrd and Iraq and listen to him plead on the floor of the Senate not to do this not to send our people to Iraq. And McCain has the same Issue as Bush –not willing to admit a mistake . They don't show the coffins from this war —so people forget . But I will never forget Mr. McCain and God help us you will lose this election

That's the problem with this republican administration, you're clearly looking for a victory when the only outcome will be whose side has lost more. Have anyone ever asked the question and received a legitimate answer as to why it has been continued fighting in this part of the world since Biblical times?

Due to their deeply rooted religious beliefs, they will fight to the end just the same as this republican leadership is determined to bring about "our version" of democracy. Religion is a powerful thing, when you have someone that is willing to die for their belief such as a suicide bombers, etc., how can you possibly deter continue violence? Do you say, we're going to shoot and kill you and maybe you'll stop? That won't work because they're willing to die for their cause anyway.

McCain, please wake up and realize that this war is unwinnable for us and let's come up with a sound exit plan. Saddam was an evil guy but just maybe that is what Iraq needed for law and order to be maintained even if it meant oppressing his own people.

Who will defeat McCain – Clinton or Obama? Everybody. Easily. This grandfather is receiving military disability pension. Not very big choice we have for President.

A war that never should have been. Bad inteligence or lack of it .Hell take us all to the poor house before he or BUSH will admit it..People who support him start a list on here so we can make sure its you paying the bill not me ..We cant even take care of our own people ,,nor get along ourselves and were trying to show another country how to get along with its neighbors???????????Fear is that what everyone wants to live with ..And for those who say we would have been attacked were attacked every day across the mexican border ,,11 MILLION illegals in our country. My 96 year old grandmother lives on 345.00 MONTH ,, BUT A ILLEGAL IN MY SISTERS HOUSE GETS FOOD STAMPS HER AND HER 8 CHILDREN ,,HAVE MEDICAL AND DENTAL ..AND HUD PAYS HER RENT …She just had baby 9 and has never been married ..

People – please realize that CNN is a LIBERAL news source. 3/4ths of the country gets their news elsewhere. While all the polls look shining for Obama on this site, it's the opposite on others.
So don't fool yourselves into thinking Obama is going to be President based on what you're reading here. Half the country is more moderate/conservative, and Obama is not their guy. He's a flip-flopper with no base and no experience. He won't beat McCain, in spite of what you're reading out here, especially with 40% of Clinton's votes, and likely the independent votes going to McCain.
Sorry Dems — you blew your chances again by choosing the WRONG candidate.

DEMS NOT SHOWING RESPECT?!!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DARE TO UTTER THOSE WORDS — TELL ME HAVE YOU LOST ANYONE IN THE IRAQ WAR???

IF NOT, THEN SHUT UP AND YOU SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THOSE FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST FAMILY TO THE WAR!!!!!!!

when are the liberals in this country going to realize that we can fight in iraq or we can fight these barbarians in jersey city?

I wonder if John didnt get shot down in Nam while running from the enemy,like he did in 2000 when Bush "boy slapped" him.

May 27th, 2008 1:19 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Surrender? We invaded them and bombed the crap out of their country on a LIE. Get a clue, McCain.

It isn't surrender when you leave somewhere you don't own, you don't belong, and you don't want to be.

POST ALREADY!!!

I admire your delusional commitment to a crazy conflict. It is not the 1960s anymore it is a changing world. The Iraq army is a formidable adversary, oh wait, they do not have an Army and yet we are 6 years in the hole with this war against ourselves.

Let's pull out of Iraq. How else can we break it? We already killed over 1 million Iraqi citizens. Remind me again who the bad guys are again please?

YOU'RE BLOCKING THE GI BILL AND YOU STILL WANT THEM TO DIE IN IRAQ,MR MCCAIN GOD WILL PUNISHED YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALL MILLITARY MENS BLOOD ARE ON YOUR NECK FOOOL…………

Liberals are always in favor of free speach, unless of course it's by conservatives.

Honoring them would be supporting bills that would better their lives when they are back after giving their all.

Does the G.I bill sound familiar Mini Bush?

The basis that if people can go to college, they would never go to the military is an insult to many who've served, currently serving and will serve in the future.
I would never vote for an adamant idiot such as Sen. McCain.

What's your definition of victory McCain?

We never could get a straight answer from your mentor or his administration.

If you don't define the objective, you will never reach it.

if this had happen to obama he would have left crying maybe he would go home to his big mouth wife,

Sorry McCain. Iraq is the new Viet Nam, and like you said you know more about war than most. If you know what it's like, why in the hell did you go along with this war? You are a hypocrite McShame!

This is why we can not have another republican elected. This war must stop and Sen. McCain does not seem to get it. Even if he is a war hero I will not vote for him.

HOW MUCH MORE BLOOD YOU WANT ON YOURS HANDS?. BUSH # 2.. STOP THE KILLINGS & THE PAIN BRING THE TROOPS HOME

Thank you, skylark. Well said.

John McCain is a threat to global security.

our troops are being SLAUGHTERED FOR THE THE SAKE OF YOUR PRIDE JOHN MCCAIN!! They wont EVER make it home if you are president!!!! They wont EVER see their families!!!

SHAME ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!
SHAME ON JOHN MCCAIN!!

I wonder if he ordered his son to go back to Iraq or got him a deferment…..McBush is all we're getting.

Here is a clue for you McSame. The bad decision to go to Iraq was your poor judgement not Obama. He is the one who sees things clearly and is not looking for a chance to get Americans killed at the drop of a hat or over oil. All this does is make the rest of the world hate us and makes our country weaker and poorer. You need to learn a few things if you are going to educate Obama on ANYTHING! What a joke if you think running on a pro war platform is smart. Then again, nobody accuses you of being smart. You are funny to listen to though. Do you actually believe that crap you say or do you just read it off your prompter? Either way you dont remember what you said the next day so does it really matter?

Bush is the stink! McCain is the soil!

Would someone please define what victory in Iraq is and at what cost it come?

Have you ever heard stories told by an older generation about how they had to walk to school, or use and outdoor toilet or sleep with a couple of brothers – or some other hardship? Well, I feel John McCain is kinda like that when it comes to the war. "I was a prisoner of war for four years and if I can do it, anybody can do it" – or maybe I should say SHOULD do it! I will have sadly underestimated the American people if they elect John McCain president.

Obama '08!

McCain mentioned freedom of speech.

The protesters were simply using their right to free speech. There is no law about a right to not being interrupted.

"I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

This is just the sort of thing President Johnson used to say in public regarding Vietnam — while in private he was admitting that the war could not be won. And we all know how it ended — 50,000+ dead American soldiers later. And for what? Just so LBJ wouldn't have to "surrender."

Expect many more protests, Senator McCain.

"This may turn into a longer speech than you had anticipated," he joked. "And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

What exactly is his definition of victory and honor?? I don't understand why he pushing for 100 years of fighting and war. I don't get how he can stand there and say that.

For all of you Hillary supporters who will be voting for McCain instead of Obama (if he is the nominee and vice versa) is this what you really want?????

If McCain gets elected into office, we (the people) will have ourselves to blame. So please don't start hollering and protesting once he's in office saying he's just another Bush. You have been warned!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of how many more are killed?

IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND HOW MCCAIN CAN PUSH THIS WAR THE LAST I HEARD NONE OF HIS SONS IS FIGHTING THIS WAR. BOTH HE CAN MAKE THE COMMENT THAT OBAMA HAS NOT SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES. OBAMA IS NOT ALONG AND BECAUSE YOU SERVED DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN AUTHORITY ON EVERY WAR. AMERICA WAKE UP AND SEE THAT THIS IS ANOTHER
GEORGE BUSH DO WE ACTUALLY WON'T ANOTHER 8 YEARS OF THIS. AMERICA WILL NOT WIN THIS WAY THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A LIFE TIME SINCE CANE AND ABLE IN THE BIBLE AND WILL BE FIGHTING TILL THE END. THIS IS NOT A WAR WE WILL WIN SO I GUESS WE WILL BE THERE ANOTHER 100 YEARS.

What really baffles me are the so called democrats who are threatening to place their vote with this war monger if Hillary does not get the nomination. Our troops have their honor it is this administration and its supporters (McCain) that do not. This administration has ruled against several bills introduced to benefit our military and yet talk about supporting the troops and accuse any anti-war protestor as anti-American. Well, I consider it anti-American to insist on fighting a war that was based on lies and inept research. I consider it anti-American to go on supporting this war despite the mountains of evidence that contradict nearly every statement this administration has made and finally I consider it anti-American to not raise up and state we made a mistake. McCain should be ashamed. He has no honor as far as I am concerned. Oh and on a side note, with all his wife's millions, you'd think he would find a good dentist and get a teeth cleaning…ewwww!!!

"Honor" went out the window in October of 2001 and March of 2003 with our pre-emptive invasions of two sovereign nations. "Victory" will be when we decide as a nation to end this madness by getting our troops home safely.

There are other ways to end a war without "surrendering" or winning or losing. This war was never honorable, so how could troops leave with honor? And there is no way to win the war, except by completely controlling the whole population and forcing them to believe what you believe – and this is not winning because it would not be a fair democracy, it would just be trading one dictatorship for another!

If you want the draft because there are not enough volunteers, just support Obama. Obama will not be able to intimidate Mc Cain as they did Clinton.

Mr. Mc Cain your strategy for campaigning which is trailing President Bush literally and figuratively is brilliant and suits us democrats just fine. Keep going please. One more thing if you please choose Mr. Romny as your running mate would be just icing on the cake, Please do it.

"With victory and with honor," if we elect McCain, it will just be one more president who sells us a policy on Iraq based on vague generalities. We'll go from one 23% approval-rating pres to another. We can't afford another four years, the lives or the costs.

Dems are so disrespectful…

mr. mccain says : "I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor." what does he means ? have they not achived victory and honor yet ? how many of these brave young men and weman should die till mccain virtue of honor and victory are satisfied?

What makes people think 70% of the citizens of the US are against the "continuation of this disaster"? Where are these polls taken? Come on get out in the real world and see who wins in November.

I appreciated your Honesty John But sometimes there is victory in surrender I will never make the mistake of not Honoring or troops the victory lays in there willingness to fight we know we are the better country and have a more honorable cause but it is time for them to come home. Let Iraq fight there own battle.

The people have spoken and said we just want out of Iraq. He is so stuck on his old mentality of we need to stay until we win that he is not listening. I don't care HOW we bring our soldiers home; I just want them to come home. Their honor is not in winning this unwinnable fight; their honor is that they went there and withstood all they have withstood and having them home now is just all that matters.

Sen. Obama will bring them home. Iraq has the money to fund this war and they are mooching off of us. And as long as we keep the training wheels on this vehicle, they have no reason to really work to ride alone. Its time to come home. And we need a president who can hear us when we say this.

McCain would sing a different tune if it were his son/daughter over there dying.

Grampy McWarmonger hasn't seen anything yet. Just who the heck does this guy think he is "educating" us on Iraq? I guess when you are privileged enough to have all the military protection during your "visit", anything seems like an improvement over reality. But then again, when has McSham ever dealt with reality other than being connected at the hip to George Bush when it comes to foreign policy and misuse of military force.

Surrender to what McCain? He's as out of touch with foreign policy as he on the economy and how it affects the everyday life of hard-working Americans.

McCain doesn't support the GI bill because he doesn't want to give the troops anything to look forward to after their service is done. Think about it. In his mind, it would be mistake to give the troops any incentive to get out of the service. Then he wouldn't have the manpower to continue Bush's war.

"You don't even support the GI Bill that would offer them educational opportunities to better their lives."

I am by no stretch of the imagination a McCain supporter, but I do feel it necessary to correct this misconception. McCain does support better educational benefits for our soldiers. The argument is about whether those benefits should become active after only three years of service, or whether they should kick in after a longer period of service.

McCain (and many others) worry about the retention rate decline the Armed Forces will experience should the 3 year program be put into effect. He is not, however, opposed to providing better benefits for our troops.

You may not like McCain's policies (I certainly don't), but it does no one any benefit to misstate another's valid concerns, even when we don't agree with their viewpoint.

Obama 08

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS MCCAIN INTERESTING SUBJECT IN ALL HIS CAMPAIGN ALL HE TALK ABOUT IS WAR WAR I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANY ONE WHO LIKE WAR LIKE THIS STUPID MAN

Good for him! McStupid is a warmonger and certainly deserves it.

All McCain can do is appeal to your nation's over zealous patriotism by calling a sensible withdrawl of troops a Surrender. This November election will simply be a barometer of the intelligence level of the American public.

They were no doubt Obama supporters. For some reason, they delight in attempting to disrupt the opponent's campaign stump speeches. Of course, Obama tacitly approves of this behavior because he never encourages them to stop this nonsense. Obama's followers, the crazy types, are a relentless, threatening, violent crowd that probably belong behind bars….either in the state hospital or a prison cell.

If the DNC insists on nominating this idiot, I can't wait until Obama gets creamed in the GE and the DNC is left with dealing with republicans for the next 4 years. I'm an independent and McCain and Clinton have stances on issues that I could live with either way, but Obama is a Manchurian candidate if I ever saw one. If he were a white guy or a woman, he would have been laughed off the stage a long time ago. The guy is dangerous and our country will be in far worse shape if he ever gets in office.

"Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

A good portion of them will come home in a box.

Shame on you, McSame. Or is it McBush ?

I hope John McCain can clearly define what "victory" is in Iraq. Beating Al Quaeda is not very specific as this "enemy" has no standard definition like victory over the Germans or Japanese.

"One thing we don't do is interfere with others' right to free speech" then why were the protesters kicked out? Free speech only applies to McCant, and not the protesters?

Never surrender….in Iraq, Vietnam, Dafur

By the way, thanks protesters for challenging GRANDPA and his senility!

Mr. McNuke: You are an old sickness. We the poeple of Earth don't need a dangerous figure like you to be a continuation of Bush's legacy in the White House. We all prey that you will be the greatest loser in this election year… Your supporters are nothing but a bunch of blind lunatics, out of touch with reality and irresponsible of future disasters that your administration may carry out all over this planet!

P.S.: McCain = WW3

Typical line from the warmongering right. There are no clear benchmarks for progress in Iraq. There is no roadmap to peace in the middle east. There is no qualitative or quantitative formula in place to even determine when "victory" has been reached.

We simply need a president with the courage to come into this mess and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

People who really want to protest and do something about the war come out in November and vote for Obama.

I wonder which it is – the right of free speech, or Obama doesn't have the background to criticize McCain's stance on veteran's benefits? Seems to me that you can't have both… so which is it?

Interrupting is rude, but McCain is scary. If he won't leave until our troops have victory in Iraq, we'll be there a lot longer than 100 years! Does he not understand that the USA can't win a vcictory in the Iraqi civil war?

How long until McCain starts referring to the insurgents as the "Viet Cong"? It's obvious that he's one of the people that believe we only lost the Vietnam war because we stopped fighting.

What is exactly a victory for you mister Mccain. As eveybody knows, you haven't been able to even define what could be a success. Was it the defeat of Hussein's regime. Well, it is done. Is it to reduce Iran's influence in the region. Then, things are going worse everyday. Is it when US troops will not be attacked daily. Then, it won't happen, because no country tolerates an army of occupation, something Ron Paul tried to explain to you but you are too dumb to understand. So, without any definition of honor and victory, how will you know when it's the end. Instead of reliving your own personal war traumas on US population, why don't you realize your mistakes and let those poor young women and men come back safely to their country.

Someone please tell Oprah, Bono and Bruce Springsteen to let the man talk!

Good, someone has to stop his bull.

John is a political coward for letting Bush slam him in 2000.

Our American troops already have HONOR and are already VICTORIOUS!!! They will ALWAYS BE!!!

Let the Iraqis fix Iraq and let our troops come home to their families. It's been long enough.

The amount of suicides by our returning troops is growing, Senator McCain!!! THEY HAVE DONE THEIR JOBS ADMIRABLY AND GRACIOUSLY!!

BRING THEM HOME!

"…will come home with honour and victory"

The question is: How many of them will come Home?

I support Senator McCain, and will never support Obama, should he win the nomination. Senator McCain is a strong, brave patriot, will not back down nor compromise with our enemies. He reminds me of the American Eagle. I strongly urge everyone to support him, and if you cannot support him, then Senator Clinton. We will be very sorry if we dont . Obama doesnt have a clue.

Okay, time to moderate against this post, CNN.

Our troops will come home I agree.

I only ask you this Mr. McCain: What honor is there in invading a soverign country under false pretenses, destroying its infrastructure, failing to rebuild it and having American Service Men and Womane die for no real positive results? the FACTS are these, WE turned Iraq into an Al-Queda training ground, we brought the terrorist to Iraq, we overthrew a legitimate government based on lies. I agree our service members have done a good job in Iraq, considering there has been no real defined mission I think the actual boots on the ground have done an excellent job. but an honorable job? No, the individuals have been honorable but the "mission" itself has been dishonorable and victory is still undefined and impossible to claim. there can NEVER be an honorable victory in a dishonorable invasion and occupation.

I think that was Jack Cafferty heckling McSame. Jack Cafferty for President! And when the hell is Jack getting his own show?!

wonder how much those obamanites got paid

he looks like he lives in another planet or dimension. if the US citizens want the statu quo, then they need to vote for him!!!

An obama victory will be a "second"term for jimmy carter.

We are in dire need of new definitions for "victory" and "honor." Yours are becoming obsolete–not to mention doing more harm than good.
Peace

How can you call 4000+ american lives and countless Iraqi lives and who knows how many lives changed by those deaths or the injuries some have sustained as victory and honor. Its just another vietnam. Shame on you McCain and your war mongering.

why don't you send your sons and daughters to IRAQ? By the way its not too late for you to serve!!

John McCain who really cares about your war credentials because their are many of soldiers that has gone and goes through the same events that you've gone through. So to say one moment that "you do not have to have military experience to be a U. S. president" and the next moment you are angling towards someones inexperience for opposing the war that should not have ever been fought is a laughable misspeak on your part. You are parading around as if you are the national hero of all times because you just happened to serve during war time as many of our soldiers have done and is doing now and to gain the upperhand in this election season due to your foreign policy ideas which we are going to solve nothing because you are being just like George Bush in bullying the people of the U.S. of America that no matter how we feel we will still stay at WAR. That to me is nothing but a WAR-monger, just admit it YOU LOVE WAR!

How come the ACLU stands up for free speech rights but its those folks who support the ACLU the most who take steps to limit other views they don't agree with? Hypocrites.

What is the cost in young American lives for your "victory" Mr. McCain? What is the cost in Iraqi civilian lives? What is the cost of the stature of our Country in the eyes of the world?

Our service men and women already have honor. They are doing their duty to the best of their ability. They are serving 3 and 4 tours of duty without rest. You don't even support the GI Bill that would offer them educational opportunities to better their lives.

Bring the troops home now!

Pride comes before a fall!

I really struggle to understand how this guy can continue to push this war so hard. He may be misguided in his views, at least in my opinion, but he's literate – he must know that more than 70% of the country is against the continuation of this disaster – yet he doesn't flip flop as he has on so many other important issues. Even when he's directly confronted with the general beliefs that are out there, it almost seems to firm his resolve more than open his mind to other possibilities. It's baffling.

Regardless, I'm a registered independent who just wants us all to move as far away from the policies of the past eight years as possible, so the more this candidate ties his platform to Bush, the better, as I just can't see how anyone would reasonably think we as a country are better off now than we were in 2000.

Don't forget Body Bags, McCain.
You can't convert Islam to Christianity any more than you can convert Christians to Islam. They believe as they have since biblical times.
We need to stay out of it and let the people of Iraq battle it out as they always have and always will. It is their country. Not ours. Their religion, not ours. By the way, not all good Americans are Christians either. And not all Christians are good Americans. The pilgrims came to this country to escape religious tyranny in Europe. They risked it all for freedom. They would not be proud of what some of us have become.

It would be GREAT if they interrupted every speech so to remind HIM and others that he (by his vote) and best buddy Bush got us into this dumb war. McSame looks and smells like GW Bush… but is much older and crazier. Hillary voted for the war as well… so she can join Ol' Washington DC in the pig patch.

Surprise Surprise !!!!!!! Just more dems showing that they have no respect. There is a time and a place and that isn't it.

If that happened to Obama it would be made out to be a racially motivated attack.

NEW FOR CNN GO OVER TO FOX NEW NBC AND CBS OBAMA PICK UP ANOTHER SUPERDELEGATES PLEASE UPDATE

What a delusional old man. Go back to the old folks home John McLame. We dont need your close minded BS in the whitehouse.

Whatever about John "Maverick" McCain who fought so galantly in Vietnam could they be so angry about?

McSame, I suggest you pack your stuff right now and concede to Barack. It will be that much less painful and humiliating. You won't be able to remember your name when you get in those debates.

Surrender? We invaded them and bombed the crap out of their country on a LIE. Get a clue, McCain.

It isn't surrender when you leave somewhere you don't own, you don't belong, and you don't want to be.

Great man, great leader, great president.

In 100 years…

Yes, John. Don't give up! Don't ever admit defeat! Even if it kills our boys, don't give up! Even if it creates even more trouble for us in that region, don't surrender! Even if it destroys our currency and leaves us in poverty, don't retreat! Even if all hopes of securing a decent future for our children are thrashed, even if our safety is compromised, even if our liberties and rights are spit upon in the name of fighting terror, even if we have to blow this earth to hell and back, DON'T SURRENDER!

This is a religious war. There is not way we will ever win. Read the Bible and see what it says. That is what will happen. McCain, I know you are not speaking to Hagee right now, but ask him about that.

McCain has more knowledge and common sense than Obama

could ever dream of having.

McCain said that he will never surrender in Iraq it sounds like this is more personnal for him then it is for our Men and Women who are losing there lives. Has the P.O.W. lost focus and want some get back for his unjust doing his capture, We are turly honored by your service but at what price do we have to pay we already paid 4018 lives how many more, and in war there are no vicory to claim just adjustments Mr McCain

"And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

You just HAD to say that, didn't you? Pity the protesters weren't around long enough to prevent you from saying that. Truly, I've no doubt Obama will pwn you with your own shoe come November.

Vote "No" to the war. Vote for Obama.

And to Clinton supporters: If you'd vote McCain just to spite Obama because Clinton wasn't good enough to clinch the nomination, do us all a favor: don't call yourselves Democrats.

"I don't care how many troops I have to send to their deaths in Iraq! We won't stop until we accomplish our mission, which is…. uhhh…. Where did I leave my teeth, again?"

I hope they saved the Mission Accomplished sign in case McCain gets elected–he can use it for his very own Iraq debacle.

Notice how he uses the word "I" when talking about never surrendering. I guess that settles it, it absolutely does NOT matter what the American people want. If John McCain says we're staying, then we're staying!

Not another cowboy!

Time for Mcthuselah to get with the program … we don't need a 3rd Bush term … so get of your knees and remove your knee pads John. You suck!

"This may turn into a longer speech than you had anticipated," he joked. "And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

Senator McCain then added, "Or they will never come home."

Good for him. Most of the people doing the most screaming about the 1st amendment are the ones who won't welcome debate from those with whom they disagree. I don't agree with everything McCain has to say, but I welcome hearing from him if he expects my or anyone else's vote. Nothin' wrong with knowing what you're buying. All the best to the Senator!

More of the same from McBush!

"I have town hall meetings all the time when people are allowed to come and state their views. One thing we don't do is interfere with others' right to free speech," McCain said "

Is this true?

Mr. McCain, While I respect your service to this country (and both my husband and I are vets) I think you are really out of touch with Iraq.

If McCain is in no position to be elected, these punks won't protest!

McCain is Sturdy, steady and ready.

Funny….
I don't think I've seen any protestors demanding we dig for more oil, or demanding that we lower taxes, or demanding anything else for that matter–at Democratic town hall meetings?

This said–I wonder which group really represents the best of America?

No, you and Bush will leave office with honor.

How about we bring them home ALIVE? They are already honorable.

hahaha…yeah it was very funny, saw it live…

That was rude. even though i dont agree with everything McCain says, he should not be disrespected like that.

To me, the supporters of John McCain were louder than the initial protestors. And then he takes a dig at the protestors, saying they are opposed to "free speech." That's just dumb…they were all disruptive!

Victory and honor are impossible goals for an unjust war. Sorry McSame, you're fighting a losing battle here. Ah, the irony.

did he not sound like g bush i thought so see hillary suppoters hes not gonna end the war he said it now to vote for this man out of spite of hillary not winning is just plain mindless come on people think !!!!!! you heard him bush bush bush all the way no votes for mcsame in 08 vote dem you will be happy you did!!!!!!!

Hmmm. Is there really victory and honor in dying over an unjust cause?

Given the chance this old man will continue the war, wreck the economy and the world will be a worse place for our children. What he does not understand is that his era like his cohort Bush…………… is over!

Whoever support McCain, needs a shrink.

They're coming home DEAD John. But I guess you don't care about that.

If McCain is going to be so in favor of the war, he needs to vote yes for the GI Bill. Put your money where your mouth is, Senator. Obama doesn't need to have served in the military to know how to treat them right when they come back.

"And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor."

This is not about you Mr. McPOW this is about our troops. You get the RNC the G.(grumpy) O. (old) P. (people), the bush family and yourself and fight the war yourselves and leave us alone so that we can put our country back together……….

Demos' 2008

AT LEAST 4000 OF OUR YOUNG MEN WILL NOT COME HOME.
HOW CAN ANYONE CLAIM HONOR AFTER BEING ENGAGED IN AN UNHONORABLE WAR.
YES OUR YOUNG MEN DESERVE TO COME HOME WITH HONOR AND THEY DESERVE A BETTER G I BILL

After McCain said "I will never surrender in Iraq" He had winked.

It is easy to be tough and ruthless with political adversaries in the US political battlefield. The kind of threat political adversaries pose is hardly life-threatening (though in other, less civilized nations it may well be). Political bullies like the Clintons, for example, feel perfectly safe in viciously attacking and denigrating those who oppose them. And, when it happens occasionally that a political adversary unexpectedly shoots back and won't go away, the bully easily falls back on the "victim" role and whines about "vast right-wing conspiracies" or sheds a few tears on cue and such.

McCain is wrong again. How can anyone have feel good about fighting a war based on LIES!!! I would never fell good about winning at anything when the main issues were ALL LIES!!!!!.

But regardless, our troops don't need to have victory to have honor. No matter who is our next President, our troops have honor because they have served our country.

"And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq. Our American troops will come home wiht victory and with honor."
Mr. McCain, when you say victory and honor does that include the four thousand plus soldiers who have come home in a pine box? Does the honor go to the thousands upon thousands of Iraqi civilians who died in the so called name of freedom? Does this honor you speak of refer to the two thousand plus soldiers who have attempted suicide and return with post traumatic stress disorder? When you say victory…who exactly is victorious? Our troops have been in Iraq for over five years now. Why aren't the Iraqi's self sufficient by now? Is our economy victorious due to this war? Or do you not give a rat's tail that we are bankrupt and paying for a war by continuously borrowing from the Chinese? But hey, I guess everyone has a different measure of what honor and victory means.

It is so funny that Hillary went on CNN and said that FL and MI broke the rules and the votes should not count. She said this when polls showed that Obama might win those two states. Now that she is loosing, she want the votes to count. She wants all of MI to go to her and Obama to receive none. She is the worst and I hope that Nov. takes care of her well. While Obama and McCain will be going to vote, Hillary will be going to court.

Obama 08!

He borrowed that phrase from Nixon. Seems appropriate.

They have a right (and very good reasons) to protest, McCain. Don't whine.

Btw, I'd have preferred that our troops weren't sent there in the first place. This government disgraced and defiled the honor of our troops by sending them into Iraq on a lie. The least thing McCain and Bush could do is bring them home alive and repay them with the dignity of the benefits that they were promised (rightfully adjusted for inflation) and offer them an apology (and perhaps their own lives) for wasting the lives of our troops on a personal vendetta and blood oil.

Dems '08

Probably rude Obama supporters. I hope someone interrupts Obama soon and see what happens.

ya its sad that our votes are not counted. Republicans are planning to drop a bomb on this country and make everyone to starve to death. My friends my friends my friends when i get elected i will stay in Iraq 100 years and bomb bomb bomb bomb iran get some of the oil money bush made on his eight years white house term. We as Americans have the power to stop the evil and choose the right president. we dont need republicans we need democrats to get our feet back on the ground. democrats 08!!!

"This may turn into a longer speech than you had anticipated," he joked. "And by the way, I will never surrender in Iraq."

It seems that your and Bush's war in Iraq is taking longer than you anticipated too, huh?

Ha,ha,ha,haaaaaaaaaa!

I love it! I hope as McShame continue his campaign – we unite this summer and start large anti-war protest across this country where ever McShame is speaking!

"I will surrender in Iraq" You may say you will never surrender in Iraq but our troops are coming home ——————

Go Bam! We got one more week of looking and Bill and Hill!

It's great to see a rookie bring down the Clintons – and it's funny to watch the Clintons and how they have behave!

Gosh he is such an idiot!!

The chanting nuts should have been the ones escorted out…

OBAMA 08

His speeches are boring!

Well spoken John,You chicken little coward.

"'One thing we don't do is interfere with others' right to free speech,' McCain said as one group of protesters were escorted out."

Priceless.

I'm an Obama supporter and I don't agree with protesters during a speech.

What McCain really means is "I will never withdraw tropps from Iraq, they're going to be there for 100 years."

Yes, let's "WIN" a war based on failed policies and send thousands more to die for it. That'll show them John!

Let's continue a foreign policy that leaves the US at odds with the rest of the world.

I cannot believe people still buy this bull. But then again, we bought it from George Bush twice!

Thank God John McCain will not be president.

And remember, a vote for him is a vote for our children to die overseas in a pointless, seemingly never ending war.

Are you folks listening to McBush?

"And by the way I will never surrender in Iraq…Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor"

McCain/Bush, and Hillary Clinton, are all for the "WARS"

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb!…… Iraq, Iran, wherever they feel like bombing!

Victory? I guess if we are there for 100 years that can be counted as victory.

McCain says "Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor." What does "victory and with honor" mean in Iraq? McCain has been intentionally vague on Iraq.

Even McCain supporters have no clue on McCain's plan for Iraq. They all repeat McCain's weak chants like "We will never surrender". It only takes a high spike in Iraqi violence (which will by all probability happen within the next 6 months), to get Americans thinking again our exit strategy in Iraq.

Way to go John. Nicely handled.

No you can't and no she won't!

McCain/08

Can't be done by any candidate "posturing" to do so. And they won't do it. They're just "rattling your chain." Just imagine what would happen. Iran would set up camp instantly, hundreds of thousands of Iraquis — who have valiantly supported our efforts — would be slaughtered on the spot. Afghanistan and Pakistan would fold instantly and go to alQuaeda and the Taliban. The only way to end this honorably is to stabilize Iraq and then do a gradual withdrawal. Mark my words — this is EXACTLY what Clinton and Obama will do once one or the other is elected.

They must be the Obamabots, they want our soldiers to surrender!

MCCAIN NEEDS A LESSON IN JUDGEMENT. THIS OLD MAN IS NOTHING BUT A WAR MONGLER AND THAT'S ALL HE KNOWS TO TALK ABOUT, WAR AND MORE WARS. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND SAVE US FROM JOHN MCCAIN.

McCain really IS in good health…did you see how fast he ran out after his speech? And the protesters were just bored and wanted their money back.

Mr. McCain: I ask you to define Victory in Iraq.

Why won't you set a benchmark?

The only reason we have a war in Iraq– IS TO HAVE A WAR, IN IRAQ.

McCain is a ridiculous war monger. He should not be on stage.

Well done, Protestors!

This needs to be done on a regular basis so McSame gets it through his thinning pate that we will not stand for his endless oil war.

btw… I just saw the HBO movie "Recount" last night and the though of another Repug stealing an election make me wanna vomit. This is OUR year, Dems… let our voices be heard!

Obviously Obama supporters. They pulled the same tactics on Bill and Hillary.

Just wait, every Republican that won't vote for Obama will be called racist just like all of us Hillary supporters.

Guess what Obamabots. I voted against the white half of Obama. So there. I'm not racist!

I'm dating a latino too!

No more rigged elections in America!

1 Vote = 1 Vote.

Hillary, take it to the convention!

McSame-" Our American troops will come home with victory and with honor"

They may come home with honor, but many will come home in body bags!

Get a clue John…. the jig is up!

God Bless our troops!

Obama and his left wing supporters have been utterly disgusting towards Sen. Clinton this primary season. They have used nasty tactics in the caucuses to intimidate older Clinton supporters. They try to stifle free speech by scaring opponents from speaking because they create hysteria over comments which they take out of context and to which they twist the meaning (i.e: RFK primary time-line comment). They are trying to keep Florida and Michigan votes from counting and are silencing voters because their candidiate did not win (and they blocked all revote efforts too). Now they protest during McCain's speech. Rude. Stop trying to strong arm America into supporting Obama.

You may attack Sen Clinton in the most base and vile manner, and you may attack her supporters that way as well, you may have strong armed the DN into supporting Obama, but you will not get the Clinton supporters to fall-in-line behind your Obama this Nov.

Shame on Obama and his rude immature supporters who have no sense of history or decency.
No to Obama.

And if they come home NOW as the should, they will have HONOR. End the war in Iraq, McBush, your military junta experience has no place here!

One comment for this…………

IS ALL FAIR GAME, LOL!!!!!!!!…………………like I said, we'll increase the ante if we have to…….is up to you…..

Bring our troops home, no more war!!!!!

Don't be surprised McSame. People are ttired of Bush politiks and you
will continue that path. There is no chance you will pull it off old man.
Take Hillary with you as she is not electable either.

Oabma for President!

Surrender to whom exactly?

There is no one to surrender to. This guy is as old as his fear mongering politics. It does not make sense. The radicals have been fighting each other for thousands of years and will continue whether we are there or not. This is crazy.

Our troops need to come home now, put them on the border that will help curb the immigration problem. This is the same thing they said about Vietnam, and when we left the Communist took over and the world went on. The Domino theory was a weak as the current Middle East policy.

We need our troops home, if you care so much about "victory", u can go out there and fight them yourself. We need that money to be spent right here in America.

This is a lunatic!!! Put your money oi him if you want we are screwed for sure. I think he is a pure idiot!!!

You haven't even seen the protest. Wait till the general election!!! You have no plan to win Iraq, except to keep our troops in harms way.

Never Surrender in Iraq?!?! We're not playing a football game here – it shouldn't be about winning Iraq – it's about bring relative peace to a country we turned upside down because their dictator tried to kill our Presidents Dad – really, that was a reason! When our foreign policy is directed in a way that we sound against the Iraq people and more concerned with American Ego instead of the wellbeing of the people of that country we'll never 'win'!

Obama is A Left Wing Nut Job in Training pants, and he can't win the votes of anyone except his cult.

Not enough to win in a General Election!

.Hillary 08

.Why in this world would Obama want to send a loser like Daschle to speak to blue collar workers? He's about as blue collar as Bill Gates. Anyway, these folks won't vote for Obama. They're smarter than that, and besides they didn't vote for Daschle.
.At least McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore and Kerry, whose footsteps Obama would soon be walking in if he were successfully to weasel his way into the nomination of the Democratic Party, had the experience to run a national campaign and the resume to be President of the United States.

Obama's nothing new. He's the same old story for the Democratic Party, with the comic twist that he's got a ridiculously thin resume that would be laughable if we weren't talking about losing the presidency of the United States yet again.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

No One is asking this old man to surrender but we are not planning on staying over there forever. You see McCain is really a WAR MONGER. Yeah I said it because it's the truth. That's all he knows. I understand that he is a War Hero but that doesn't mean this war is right. In fact, it is wrong and has been wrong from the beginning. Bush and McCain actually killed Saddam Hussein for nothing. Bin Laden should have been killed not Hussein. This should be considered murder. It's the truth. WHAT YALL GONNA DO ABOUT ME SAYING IT?????? I'm not scared to tell the truth nor am I not afraid to speak out against the so-called person we call President of the United States. He is not right and neither is McCain. McCain needs to crawl under a rock and stay there. Those troops are ready to come home. My mother's nephew has been in Iraq for a long time and this is his 3rd tour of duty. He and his wife are divorced now. The kids are suffering and I blame Bush and McCain for it. GET REAL!!!!!

Just a sign of things to come as everyone in the country hears more of McCain's warmongering. The country is tired of being in a war that never should have happened and continuing that war indefinitely is McCain's obsession. He is so out of touch with the country that it isn't funny!

Why is McCain never asked what he means by "victory"? He's allowed to say that others who want to end the war sooner rather than later are trying to surrender but how and at what additional cost does he think the US can win the war in Iraq? Just wondering.

MR MCSAIN
YOU ONLY SPEAK OF WAR,WHAT DO YOU EXPECT. YOU ARE RICH AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT STRUGLING TO BUY FOOD AND GAS FOR WORK TO CARE FOR OUR FAMILY
SO TAKE YOUR WELTH AND RETIRE ALREADY

Typical rude Obama supporters. They have no regard for anyone. They have been utterly disgusting towards Sen. Clinton this primary season. They have used nasty tactics in the caucuses to intimidate older Clinton supporters. They try to stifle free speech by scaring opponents from speaking because they create hysteria over comments which they take out of context and to which they twist the meaning (i.e: RFK primary time-line comment). They are trying to keep Florida and Michigan votes from counting and are silencing voters because their candidiate did not win (and they blocked all revote efforts too).

Shame on Obama and his rude immature supporters.
No to Obama.
Write in Hillary in November.

John McCain is a warmonger and a loser! Funny how they were escorted out because they interrupted his right to free speech, but what about their right to free speech? End the war!!!

Obama/Clinton '08& '12!!!

McCain is doomed! The Iraq war will be the nail in his the coffin. With an unpopular war and unpopular President holding his hand he is none other than a Bush clone.

Unless I am brain-dead, but if Hillary cannot even beat this newcomer – Obama, how can Hillary beat McCain and the Republican machine?

It is good to be a fighter, yet another one to be a "clean" fighter.

The argument about "experience" reminds me that Hillary supporters are still in the "third world" where only the experienced and the elderly rule.

American is the land of "opportunity", not experience. If we cannot give this generation the "opportunity" to have the needed experience, then what will the Future World hold for this nation?

By the way, McCain's speech was very "boring." Is this what I would want to wake up to for the next 4 years? I am over 50 mow, and I need some real "excitement" (not sexual scandals) from our young leaders!

FYI, John, Withdrawal does not equal surrender. Think about those 4500+ young, gifted soldiers who gave their lives for an oil war. Do you want to be remembered as they candidate that lost because he supported an unjust & indefensible war?

Support our troops. Bring them home.

Hey Mc out of touch, there can never be honor or victory in a war that was fought because of lies. It was, is and always will be about the oil and a US presence over there, period. The lives of the soldiers meant nothing to Bush and obviously nothing to you, you scoundrel.

Good, don't want to hear what this war monger has to say.

It's easy to write Hillary's name in in November if she does not win the nomination. Check out writehillaryin.com.

Let's take a stand against the DNC and sexism that reigned throughout this primary process. The media and the DNC treated Sen. Clinton ,and indirectly all women, disgracefully. Women will not be treated like trash during the campaign season and then be told to herd up and support the nominee. Take a stand – now is the time. Don't take women for granted.

Write Hillary in in November.
