McCain let me see if you can put your hands over your head. Becarefull if you get stopped by the police and they ask you to do it and you don't you will be charged with resisting arrest.

McCain only knows one thing, war. He doesn't have a clue about the things that matter to the people. Don't let that maverick label fool you. He is the other side of the same coin BUSH!

painted his potential rival Barack Obama as naive about the Middle East.

So Mr. McCain what IS the difference between Shi'ia and Sunni?
How about the difference between a "terrorist" and someone fighting to overthrow an occupying country?

until you can answer those questions I suggest you reframe from attacking Mr. Obama as naive ok?

For anyone who has traveled outside the U.S to a foreign county; it makes you love this country even more. The security of this country is threatened and Obama is not the man to protect us. He is an extremist with all the views of a foreign dictator...

Not to talk with Iran means not to show respect for them. Arrogance never has proven to be a good guideline.

I can already predict, having seen just a few campaign photos, that I'm going to get VERY tired of seeing McCain give the thumbs-up sign.

What in the heck will johnny do when he does not have a monitor to say something???? I cannot wait until Barack gets him in a debate, without a monitor, my friend.

McBush should run for President of Iraq since its all he seems to care about.

McSame, you are just naive about the reality of the rest of the world. If you continue the rogue style policy of George W. Bush you will get the same results. You must understand that other people also have brains to reason, think and do whatever they need to do, so cunstructive dialogue is always the best way to resolve problems that have sustainable solutions.

Why doesn't McCain just move to Israel and become their Prime Minister? It's obvious they have had trouble for the past 60 years finding someone with ethics and honor to run their country. Their PMs just can't seem to turn down "private donations." Why in the world do we support this warmongering mini-state? I will NOT allow my son to fight in any war that tangentially supports Israel such as our current operation in Iraq.

McCain, watching this guy is like, watching paint dry......He is the most boring person alive.....

McCain we respect your services in the military, but OMG, you have got to be the biggest joke alive as well. You can't remember anything about what is going on in the world today concerning the war, so why should we listen to you.

Aww Deb, it's too bad that Hillary ISN'T winning the popular vote, otherwise you might have a point.

It's laughable that you'd put yourself and your children/family in a worse position than we're in now by voting for McCain.

Old man yells at cloud !!

I've been on NPR all morning listening to the meeting.
McCain was literally quivering with gleeful anticipation of warring with Iran. His voice was uncharacteristically animated as he talked.
The man should be examined and treated for PTS.
So what, he was a POW, as were hundreds of other soldiers.
His POW status does not a President make.
He is BAD NEWS for this country.

We've had 4000 years of fighting and bloodshed in the Middle East.
McCain says more of the same.
Obama says why don't we try something new for once?

He's talking about the war because he's at a pro Israel forum idiots.

I was originally annoyed by this man, now I am just plain scared of what he will do if he gets in office.

Democrats, independents, republicans, etc., it is time to support Obama overwhelmingly as he is on track to be the nominee and make sure we save our country from more war, higher gas prices, etc.

What I don't understand is why this gets some huge headline like, "McCain slams Obama..." This is CNN for cripes sake. He didn't slam Obama and just like many of the posters have already said, he's repeating himself. Why don't you guys dig deeper and give us some real news about McCain. OBAMA 08!!!

Sucking up to the pro-Israel gang will not endear McCain to the middle roaders who think we've kissed their butts long enough. Time we let them swim by themselves and quit playing lifeguard..

These McCain policies are not a surprise. He is using his experience that was acquired in a different world to solve problems in a completely different world. He is out of touch with today.

Here is another one, he couldn't slam anything, he is too old. His Social Securty number is 0.

To anthony,
McCain is not a fiscal conservative simply considering that he is completely for the continuation of the war in Iraq which has cost us up to 3 trillion dollars in 5 years. He is the same faux conservative that Bush has left us dwelling upon, I for one am for Obama because what brought down the soviet union: it was negotiation and that was used with so many other superpowers.

Have you heard that electing Sen. Obama means a third Bush term?
Hey, it makes about as much sense as when it is pinned on Sen. McCain. Oh yeah, and Obama is also a warmonger. And senile. Allegedly.

McCain already thinks he's running the world. He'd start two new wars today if he could. Thank God he's powerless to do so....at the moment.

Is this Mccain guy for real. People in the U.S. are worried about how they are going to feed, cloth, and get the basic neccessities of life and all he talks about is Obama meeting with Leaders he does not agree with. The U.S. and its citizens have a big problem if they don't see through this smokescreen.

RiGHT ON MCCAIN! He is the ONLY candidate who realizes the importance of protecting Israel from all of her enemies! He is the ONLY candidate paying attentionto the true threat in the middle east. He is THE ONLY candidate running because HE BELIEVES in this country and freedom for ALL PEOPLE!

People pay attention! You might not like George Bush, but have we had a repeat of 09/11 yet? NO! Want to know why???? THE REPUBLICAN POLICY!

VOTE MCCAIN!

Whether you love him or him...this man knows more about foreign policy and war than Obama, end of discussion. If you're an Obama supporter, that's fine, but at least admit when your candidate is beat on an issue.

What is his name BUSH? lol what a joke grandpa is

We´ve already seen the Carter grain embargo fto Iran. What did that help ? His understanding of Near East local politics is rudimentary.

Does anyone else here notice that McCain ALSO is the same as guliani??

He has only ONE line and only Two claims!! We have jumped from 911 911 911 to POW POW POW and Iraq Iraq Iraq!!

Or is it just ME?

Pressure on Iran? How about talking about cleaning the mess up in New Orleans???!!!

Does he know anything about the economy?

We´ve already seen the Carter grain embargo for Iran. What did that help ? His understanding of Near East local politics is rudimentary.

Everyone on this forum sounds quite defensive about having an active leader who has some foresight into difficult situations, and how to handle them. I can say right now that we must not meet with dictators who will ever make any effort of supporting a free world and free trade. If you must post your negative views on many issues you don't really have a clue on, please at least spell check. Many of these posts appear to have come from an illiterate 8 year old.

McCaine you are too much!

HE CAN SLAM ALL HE WANTS.

HE STILL NEEDS HELP TO GET DOWN THE AIRPLANE

STEPS & TO REMEMBER WHERE HE ACTUALLY IS.

HE WOULD SELL ISRAEL DOWN FOR ANOTHER VOTE

IN A HOT MINUTE. STOLE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE.

Deb,

Get a life. The democratic party will not let McWar scare us into voting for him, nor will we let you hold our support hostage with your threat to vote for him.

You were going to vote for him from the begining, or you would be voting on the issues and not ignorant spite.

Hope that the people in your family that are eligible to serve in the military enjoy Iran in the summer.

That policy has certainly worked so far!!??!

What a joke. Obviously, being shot down, captured and tortured does not make you a great foreign policy maker!

Who cares what you are talking about. No one wants to here the same old thing over and over again. Yes you are more experienced with the middle east but as Chaney woud say, SO. We need a new way of doing things in the middle east and Obama will take care of that for us. Its your turn to get beat, brace yourself.

There is just no way Barack will win, he is too young and has no idea how to run the military, our military leaders will eat him alive.. Let's face it it's justs not the right time to pick a rookie for comander and chief. If we were not at war I would vote for him.

I am confused with both statements

aren't really saying the same thing

other than Barack is going to talk to them directly

I wish they would stop the back and forth it's like watching a tennis match with long rallies's.

I'm sure most intelligent Americans can see both points and most unintelligent will be confused

I don't see a gain for either candidate here

I wish they would both make their case separately and then we will decide.

Old hero is much better than phony puppet.

The wisest person to lead our nation is the real deal-Hillary Clinton!

Open your eyes, people.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!

Go Hillary! You are the ONLY ONE for our country.

Wow. It is funny how the supporters or Hillary are not here supporting their new candidate.

He is still a soldier, nothing learned from his experiences. The weapon isn´t allways the only answer !

McCain,
No one is listening to you..except maybe die hard republicans that are still fooled by your party.
You are wasting your time and your wifes money. There will not be another republican in office. People are waking up.

Take your best shot McCain, when Obama finishes this primary and clinches the nom. YOUR TOAST

Old man yells at cloud!!!

Hey McSame......It is almost over with Hillary THEN WE WILL BE RIGHT WITH YOU : )

Obama 08-12

More WAR!!

McBush's economic plan is to to keep the economy going by fueling the industries that cater to the military.

How about we keep our money here for schools and roads and the elderly and those in need?

Vote Obama

It's absolute lunacy that we should favor a course that prevents diplomacy even when the alternative is war. McCain, for all his bluster about not giving Iran propaganda points, must admit that he is willing to let U.S. citizens die and to kill citizens of other countries because of his posturing.

Teddy Roosevelt used to say, "Speak softly but carry a big stick." Bush/McCain have changed that to "Carry a really big stick and don't speak at all."

keep at him Mccain his already limping the finsih line. I hope the republicans have an October surpise for the Obama fans, there is sure a lot of stuff and mumblings going about about tapes and other Obama behavior. The only way this clinton backer is getting behind obama in november is if its to push him off a cliff. I am so tired of him and all the teenies screaming cause he wore jeans.

Dear John:
I can't afford the gas to fill my tank. I can barely afford to buy food.
My house is in foreclosure. I have no health insurance.
What are you going to do to help my family and others in the same situation?
Protect me from terrorists by touting a war waged based on LIES???
You lose more and more credibility every time you talk about more war and ignore the problems we have in our OWN COUNTRY

I used to like McCain. Now I see him as a two bit hack. Just another puppet. Most dems are just puppets too.

GoObama

who in their right mind with any conscience, knowing that this is an illegal and immoral war started by Bush for oil and revenge for his daddy nearly getting killed, would vote for this warmonger!!!!
keep spewing out your war rhetoric MCSame
NO ONE with a conscience is listening….that would be 82% of Americans
Your wasting your time MCBush

All I can say is I can't wait until Obama and McCain have
a live, side by side debate and we can get to the real
conversation.

Hope and Peace for America and the World.

Bush, McCain, GOP and CLINTON voted to send 4100 troops to there death and for what? That is the real story here!

1. Is Iran stronger or weaker since Bush/McCain’s invasions of Iraq?

2. Has Osama bin Laden been killed or captured since Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

3. Are we paying more for gas now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

4. Is our economy better of now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

5. Is the White Houses creditability better now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

6. Is the budget deficit higher now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

7. Is the Middle East more peaceful now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

8. Do we have more American Solders dead or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of I

Democrats, Please do not let Republicans know they are on to a losing strategy. Let McWar keep digging himself in.

Even the Israeli's are in secret talks with Syria. What a joke!!

Old man yells at cloud

I don't want to sound ignorant, but why does the US kiss Israel's butt so much? Are they somehow indebted to them? I am asking this question in all seriousness and without sarcasm.

I don't understand the relationship between the US and Israel. I just need to know because it seems like the US bends over backwards to appease Israel. Someone please explain.

McCain, instead of speaking about our economy, you always bring up the Iraq-Middle-East-Iran stuff which is not really our main concern right now. What we need to know, is how our next president will address the economy issue, bring down the gas price, re-instate a solid plan for mortgages and a susbstantial health care plan

Once you've come up with these, then you can compete with Obama, otherwise you have No Chance

Interesting. The only pro-McCain posts are coming from disgruntle Hillary supporters.

Targeted sanctioning? Limiting gas imports isn't a targeted sanction–it's a blanket sanction that will affect all Iranian people. Is this fair?

Whether you believe it to be fair or not, the result will be an angered people, and many will direct their anger towards those who imposed the blanket sanctions.

McCain needs to learn the difference between this sort of sanctioning and the targeted sanctions he thinks he is imposing.

It was interesting that he mentioned, he world-wide pressure that ended South Africa's apartheid, but is oblivious to Israel's policy of apartheid.

He likes to have another war with Iran ! Compared to what the U.S. experienced with Irak the Iran war will fully destroy the American foundations.

dont let him use fear anymore americans dont let him use fearmongering ways like bush did we fell for it and look where we and our troops our today only one thing mccain cares about WAR REMEMBER HE WILL NEVER SURRENDER IN IRAQ MY FRIENDS NEVER

McCain called for no war; nor for a single bullet shot nor a person dead, nor one soldier deployed. He called for further economic and, if possible, diplomatic, sanctions. Against a nation calling for the destruction of another and which is building up its army to deal with US forces. But because he talked about US enemies in the Middle East and not only giving them what they want some of you here call him a warmonger for his words today. If you are the best supporters Mr. Obama has, he should be quite worried.

We do not need to 'jump the gun' on Iran. Let's try diplomacy, it must be harder than going to war because McCain and Bush would much rather send in the big guns first. I don't want my Country to be seen as the bully of the world and this does not imply that I object to protecting our borders from real threats.

Go McCain...If Hillary isn't the nominee...McCain will WIN by a landslide in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna...maybe we should let the people who participated in the survey run the State Department?

I bet they would be awesome at it! They could round up George Clooney and Tim Robbins and send them over to "sit down" with Iran. Brilliant, I tell you! Peace, Love, Dope '08. Soon, Iran will have a copy of "O' Brother Where Art Thou?" on every shelf as homage for the sudden enlightenmnet the liberals will provide.

Obama is under-informed, under-experienced, and anyone who suggests Iran's fundamentalists are waiting for a bear hug from Obama are crazy...or just liberal.

Anyone but Obama '08

Hey! What happened to the Gas Tax Holiday?

Or was that pandering from McCain?

I love statistics!

There's a book that everyone should read – "Figures lie and Liers Figure – How to prove Anything With Statistics". The title sayys it all.

Then, the next time you see someone spout off 'statistics' about anything trying to 'prove' their point, you'll realize that you should only take them with a grain of salt – if that.

Does anyone else notice how furious McCain gets when he is asked a tough question (particularly about foreign policy)? He looks like he's just going to burst into a murderous rage. The last thing we need is a hot-headed trigger happy commander in chief right now.

Stiffarmstrong sticks to Iraq and the middle east debates because he thinks that's his strongest area. He knows nothing else about anything else. But personally I've been impressed with Obama's retaliation and I think the republicans will soon see they need to brush Stiffarmstrong on other areas. The current Republican party thinks they are the specialist on foreign policy. Well it's obvious they are not, We are hated throughout most of the world, Our dollar is weaker, terrorist are stronger, and even our allies don't agree with our current policies. Obama will be just fine.

This would be just what the Iranian hardliners would want – an excuse for why their economy is hurting. With debilitating sanctions imposed, the regime could paint the US as a ruthless bully intent on destroying their economy. Sanctions would do nothing but backfire. The Iranian economy is already in the tank and the populus is getting sick and tired of the hardliners; sanctions will not help. What a simplistic foreign policy McCain offers....

Mccain needs to get a life! Why can't John Mccain talk about the economy...the mortgage crisis, our foreign policy not Iraq war, our middle east policy, weak dollar, etc? I am sick and tired of Mccain talking about war and more war nothing else. Who cares about a commander-in-chief who does not know about the economy, not me or most americans. We need a president who can be tough but yet diplomatic and who knows about the economy. It is time for a change in our political scene.
God Bless America!

Great. This is obviously the best shot at Obama that McCain has to offer, seeing as he repeats it constantly, and Obama is slamming him even on that one.
Way to go, if anybody is actually listening to the two before voting, I think Obama will trounce McCain so badly it'll bring tears to the GOP's eyes.

McCain is so clueless.

Did McCain admit he doesn't know much about the middle east?
- McCain forgets how many troops are in Iraq.
- McCain thinks gun fire in a market means it's safe.
- McCain repeatedly confuses Shiite and Sunni, thinking they are the same. These two religious factions have been fighting each other for years, but McCain refused to listen when Petreaus repeatedly told him the difference.

This man is scary. He cannot even keep surge numbers and the various factions straight... he would be a disaster in the white house.

too old, too cranky, too senile, too BUSH.

Oh, who really cares? McClain is a loser, he does not have a chance. If there is anyone on earth who doubts that, I believe the first debate with O'bama will quickly settle any questions.

Actually, I feel nothing but pity for this man – he is in way over his head and unfortunately made his first wrong decision when he decided to become a repukelican.

This man will bankrupt America with endless wars.

why cant mcain talk about anything but war like the economy health care global warming education jobs etc you know why because thats all he knows aboutis WAR he is cluless on the other issuses thats why he doesnt speak about them and you people want this man for potus scary very scary think about this hillary supporters before you make a decision out of spite and anger that one day you will regret

Clinton loyalist will jump your band wagon NOT OBAMA – ever!

GIVE HIM A DAY AND HE WILL ASKED WHAT DID I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man who sang, "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" will show us the way to peace and prosperity through warfare.

BDub, you're absolutely right, but stop saying it lest his handlers hear you.

McCain's tone and message since he became the nominee really surprise me. I use to think he was very moderate and not chained to the GOP. I use to think that the talk of him as a third Bush term was just political speech. Now I'm beginning to see it has some truth to it.

Ask Mccain how many troops are currently in Iraq!

Yeah, the old way is working marvelously. Give us a break.

Remember the more 'conservative, less government' Republican party, has taken away more or our rights and have spent more of our hard earned money than ever before.

Definition of McSanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

This is going to be so easy!

I'm starting to think McCain is a war mongerer...seriously. It's like he is obessed with Iran. He never says anything else...Iran, Iran, Iran. Bin Laden is feeling insignificant.
The republicans had a much better shot with Romney whom by the way is the worst republican ever.

Los Angeles, CA.

For all your people slamming McCain, please share with us how Obama would handle the situation? As far as I have seen, he has not provided one idea or plan for dealing with Iran. If he is going to be President, he needs to be out there speaking at these kinds of conventions about how he will deal with the situation.

Until then, he is all talk. Say what you want, but the minute you sit down with Iran to negotiate is the day you give up our #1 position in the world. We do not negotiate with terrorists or dictatorships.

Imagine if we sat down to negotiate with Britain when we were fighting for independence? They would have slaughtered us.

Instead we took up arms and fought. Think about that.

If the supers want to shut up McCain, please put your vote to Obama and let's get the show on the road. McCain is doing alot of trash talking because he knows on better.

You think you "know it all" Gramps......butb you could learn a lot from bright and intelligent Obama.

McBush....get ready.....your defeat is next!

Obama 08!

Obama better not have his bags packed to moved into the White House. There are enough of us Democrats who will cross over to vote for McCain. 4 years of McCain will be better for this country with a Democratic Congress to keep him in line. The DNC has nailed its coffin shut by not having Clinton at the top of the ticket. Even if she is being considered for VP, most Dems I know will still cross over. Too bad, DNC.

McCain is right. He is not disappointing the American public, He has my vote and will win 40+ states.

Obama is naive about geopolitical & global economic issues. For all his intellect, none of his supporters can state what "change" the man has done during his political career that shows proof of improving the economy, reducing crime, or correcting the social problems for his constituents. If Obama wants us to follow him into battle, then show me why he is battle worthy, or otherwise I am setting myself up for a slaughter by the enemies that want to destroy us.

Anna,
What are you going to talk to them about. Oh maybe we can change the way they have believed for thousands of years by sitting down and talking to them. NAIVE little ones.......

If John McCain thinks that sanctions have an effect on the ruling leaders of any country he is much dumber than I thought he was and and I did not think he was too smart to begin with.
He and others criticized Carter for putting sanctions on Russia. We have had sanctions on Cuba now for almost 50 years and it has accomplished nothing but make it harder for the poor to live and to keeop them in poverty.
Sanctions only make it harder for those with less to get by and try to live any kind of a decent life. The rich and the rulers -both are usually the same– or the rich control the rulers just like in the USA.
The Bible says the rich will rule over the poor and we see that played out every day in this country and all over the world.

McCain has already stated that he knows nothing on the other issues America faces! The only thing (he claims) he knows about is the war and Iraq, so if this guy is America's next president, we are gonna need a miracle.

McCain is an old man with old ideas. Carbon copy of Bush and will look ridiculous come November.

McCain has absolutely nothing new to offer the American people. All he can talk about is Iraq, Iran, and bombing people. He has no knowledge of ecomonics and domestic issues that are important to the overwhelming majority of Americans. He has no vision. The people should reject this miserable old man as he will only harm the country further. This man (McBush flip flop McCain) is a liar and a fraud.

War, War, War This is all McCain know. Now he is trying to con the jewish people after he went looking for hagee's support.

WAR AFTER WAR what is wrong with this man. the only thing he talks about is war. pretty soon people will come to realise that voting for this man is nothing but war. slowly he is voting himself out of the lsland. Mccain we are tired of war. we want peace we are young we still have a long way to go. so please give us a break. the world is tired of war. You are nothing but a warmonger who knows nothing else.Not this time. you are old you dont have much to live,so please not this time.

McThuselah is calling Obama naive ... now that's funny! A man who virtually wants to continue the Bush doctrine in the Middle East ... that's simply senile ... and I'll take naive any day over senile and stupid!!

McCain is a tool.

here goes the cranky old man, its showing. Mcain wants to fight, fight and fight some more but with no positive results at the end, awful results mostly. Mcains approach at solutions or lack of is the same old Bush rhetorical cowboy agenda, tough talks, crankiness and awful results.

Mcains ideas are old, irrelevant and lack creative solutions that resolve security problems. This is why change that urges a diplomatic surge with a strong military stance is the answer. Change is what we need. America knows what Mcain is offering, over 90 years in the senate and nothing to show for it. Time for change.

Bamarama and Billary should keep fighting each other up to their convention....and beyond!

Not one of these leaders is a perfect mould of a president, but McCain has the fewest negatives of the three.

Barry is bright, and so is Billary, but both are liberals who want to raise taxes, make the US an isolationist country in a global economy, and pander to whomever they think they can fool with empty promises of a chicken in every pot!

John will win the White House. I only pray (something liberal baby-killers have a hard time doing) that the press and radical democrats see the damage they cause with their biased US-bashing retoric and get behind our president.

FROM AN ISRAELI–

Israelis do NOT want war they want peace. 60% agree the Knesset should have direct talks with Hamas.. the elected officials of the Palestinians.

Israel is having meetings with Syria..

ENOUGH WAR!

Obama's foreign policy positions are a train-wreck.

MCCAIN, i have to finally agree with you. war is better than peace and for God's sake let's keep killing our kids. i can't wait to get mcbush out of office and at least try to have peace on earth.

from an army vet who say after nov you and all the bush people need to be put on trial for USING FALSE INFO TO CREATE A WAR THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 911.

He is not McCain.. not even Mc Same.. HE is MC SHAME.. Go to Hell old bag! Time to rest in OLd age home

What happened to the story about how McCain "misspoke" and said we are now down to pre surge levels? He was clearly wrong in this regard as he has been wrong on Iraq many many many times! This man has no clue what is going on and, we the people, need to acknowledge that!

Obama all the way!

As a Navy veteran, Im appaled at McPain's tactics. They will not work!!! Iran is an oil producer you big dummy!! They will sell to the highest bidder!! Sanctions have not worked for Cuba. They are still communist and thriving. Please do the US a favor and just quit. You are not investing in America with your small government plans!! How could you speak against the G.I. bill when it concerns the same individuals fighting your 100 year war in Iraq. And you think America will prosper at 9 billion a month. Hmmm...I wonder what happened to that surplus we had under President Clinton... POOOOF!!! Be gone old man!!!!

OBAMA 08/12

Instead of beefing up sanctions, we should make it ridiculously easy for Iranians to come to America, purchase American goods, and make the Iranian regime be the ones who deny it to the Iranian people. The Iranian populace is one of the most pro-US populations in the WORLD (much more so the Middle East). I say we set up a program where any Iranian who wants to come to American can do so - watch how quickly Ahmadinejad and the clerics tumble when they deny people that opportunity. In other words, make the Iranian leaders themselves act like the bad guys.

I despise Obama and after being a staunch democrat for 30 years, I am going to hold my nose and vote for McCain. I urge all Clinton supporters to do the same. Obama is nothing but an overblown gasbag and would be a disaster for the nation.

you got to be kidding john macain ,you will never have my vote period.
this have nothin to do with if i am republican or not it is about doing the right thing which is to vote obama come november i am an obamacan.

John should talk about the war, there is one going on isn't there? It should be up to the military to decide when we are safe to leave and how quickly, screw all the politicians when it comes to war. John McCain is far far different the GW but ya'll just hate hate hate anything to do with the republican party and don't care or listen to anything they say. You are such resonable people...........

I wonder if Mccain understands that the United States doesn't hold the same prestige or influence that it use to. Why would a country listen to a weakened US threat? I don't think Obama meeting with Iran would change things either, so I believe their argument is a draw. Iran is not interested in anything they have to say and will not stop their program where there are sanctions or not.

HOW IN THE HELL IS MCCAIN GOING TO PRACTICE DIPLOMACY IF HE HAS ALREADY DECLARED WAR AGAINST IRAN

MCCAIN A CANDIDARE OF WAR , WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR,

Stick to the topic Deb. Does McCain plan to solve all of our foreign policy issue with war. Can he tell us why his policies are better rather talk about how long he has been around. I have had enough of Mcsame already.

Why did Obama, Edwards, Biden and Richardson voluntarily take their names off the ballot? Why did Obama, Edwards and Richardson jointly encourage their supporters to vote uncommitted? WHY?

I sure hope folks are really listening to what McCain is really about.
He is a Warmonger!!!
The GOP is a party of Warmongers!!!

Got to love the thumbs up photo, it kind of reminds me of bush standing of the aircraft carrier in a onsie jump suit proclaiming mission accomplished, some 5 years back. LOL!

It's kind of fun to watch this battle between Democratic party leaders and the people who elected them. The leaders keep on tellling Hillary to get out of the race and people keep on voting for her. Seems like we need a shakeup at the top pof the DNC which is looking pretty corrupt right about now..

Sorry McCain, but I'm not voting for any IDIOT who supported Bush's failed pet war in Iraq. Everyone knows we hurt our efforts against the real terrorists when we diverted our attention from AFG. Go Away you Neo-Con wannabe.

McCain, you're really disappointing the American public. Fearmongering suited Bush... but you wear it like a cheap suit. I thought you were better than that, sir...

you will never get my vote!

I could never vote for Obama, he's too weak and confused. And don;'t bore me with the childish and monotonous refrain about "the failed policies of the last 8 years". The Democrats are an incompetent and naive party. The only mature option is McCain.

Another senator who needs brain surgery!

Way to go Deb! You are the poster child of smart women of the USA! NOT!!! Why not just admit that you were a cross-over Republican in support of Hillary, instead of making yourself look so incredibly foolish by saying you'll vote McCain if your 'entitled' one doesn't steal the nomination?

McCain is absolutely right! If Obama believes he can just sit down and negotiate away Iran's nuclear ambitions, he is naive.

Those who bash McCain seem to forget that for the past FOUR years we have relied on the UN and sanctions. The sanctions have been proven to be meaningless as Iran continues to build centrifuges and develop missles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead to Israel...a nation Iran has promised to exterminate.

What do you Obama-Bots suggest we do???? I guarantee you that Obama will not change a single thing Bush has done regarding Iran because he does not want to be the president responsible for Iran's developing a nuclear weapon.

Sanctions have not worked. Promising economic aid, as Bush has done repeatedly, has not worked. Does Obama have some special powers of persuasion??? Does he have some secret message??? Of course not.

Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. Obama is the wrong leader because he has NO PLAN and is only telling you lemmings what you want to hear.

Obama = Jimmy Carter

Mr. McBush.

Isn't this the same person who made a big gaffe during his last trip to the Middle East. He does not know the difference between the various groups.

As a jew, I want peace not war.

Obama offers the best hope for our country. The Republicans have ruined our economy, drove up the price of gas and have us in a war that is killing our sons and daughters. Come on people. I do not want to see 4 more years of Bush's policies. Vote for CHANGE, not the same-old, same-old.

Can someone pls tell mccain to talk about something else? Is their no other issues that are impotant to the American People?(ie Economy, Healthcare etc). I'm tired of him talking about WAR, WAR, and WAR. I guess that's all he knows how to do best. Pls no more 4-8 yrs of McBush

CNN pls post my comments

macain, you are definately out of touch and dementic. i do care for the fact that, millions is being spent on Iraq which honestly, will benefit the American economy.
Also challenge Obama on something else about from war and Iran. iRAN WILL NOT PUT FOOD ON MY TABLE.

MCCAIN FOR WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT THAT SIMPLE YOU WANT TO FIGHT COUNTRIES FOR REST OF OUR LIVES VOTE FOR OLD FLIPPER.

Limiting gas imports isn't a targeted sanction–it's a blanket sanction that will affect all Iranian people. Is this fair?

Whether you believe it to be fair or not, the result will be an angered people, and many will direct their anger towards those who imposed the blanket sanctions.

McCain needs to learn the difference between this sort of sanctioning and the targeted sanctions he thinks he is imposing.

The republican's definition of talking to someone is giving them everything they ask for. I dont know of any intelligent argument to support this.

The key to winning the dialogue is actually to respect and engage the enemy. When i say respect it doesnt meet kowtow to their methods and idealogy but understand and respect what they are trying to say. Thus we move to a higher intellectual plane of discussion and engagement.

Also anyone who agrees with the statement below, add it everytime you send a msg.

MCCAIN 08

McCain, can you stop being too cheap for political gain?

Why all the fuss about Israel? It seems like a contest to see who supports them the most. Who cares? They can handle there own problems, but these posers (John McCain) act like they have family in Jerusalem. Its ridiculous. Why not just develop alternative energy and make the middle east irrelevant?

Good old John. He just does not get it. Even the Israeli gov just this weekend did a deal with "Hisbola" so "WHO DID THEY TALK TO TO GET THE DEAL DONE ??"

People just do NOT get it. Talking is the BEST way to get a resolution and the Israelis know it and that is why even in the midst of the bombing in Syria, they are still talking through the leader in Turkey to get a final status agreement on the Golan Heights.

John is old and that is why he will LOOSE in a BIG way. War is NOT the answer, and the American people are TIRED of the "drum beat" for war.

They have CONNECTED all the dots that WAR profits the Corporations and Defence Contractors and "SHAFT" the American people. Look who is paying $4.00 per gallon and who is making record profits, Haliburton, Black Water, Exxon-Mobil and the list goes on.

Go and retire to the old folks home John, its OVER.

with Obama as president, shall we expect to see all radicals dinnig together in the White House ?

It is most disturbing that the only thing this man talks about is war and foreign policy. He is dying for another war and I am petrified for this country. Does he realize that we have super high gas prices, high unemployment, high food prices? There are other things besides war!

Every vote for McCain puts more soldiers in harms way. All he knows is war.. he was a soldier but it does NOT make him president material. He is so out of touch and his mental instability could become an issue. He is not mentally fit to run a country especially one in such dire need of a strong leader.

its a shame how many liberal idiots comment on the forums and articles....i don't really think you people understand exactly how delicate this situation is with Iran Nuclear Ambitions....This is a great threat to our country. It is a known fact that Obama isn't understanding of how ugly this is. Even Hiliary knew, Democrats made a grave mistake in not voting for her.....

He is clueless and removed from everyday living of american people struggles. Another Bush clueless

Dear Mr. McSame:

Before you go talking tough on Iran, kindly remember that they DO have nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad will not be the pushover Saddam was. He does not spend his money on palaces and statues to himself but on his army, unlike the US, our troop still do not have the equiptment Rumsfeld promised. Your rhetoric is the quickest way to continued war. Guess you're jealous of Bush's section of Arlington and you want a larger section.

What's naive is the idea that we can continue on with our disastrous foreign policy and expect no repercussions. We need a 180 degree about face and neither McCain or Hillary is offering that.

McCain just makes up stuff, about world events and what Barack Obama's knowledge base. McCain is useless. Another Bush! I will be voting Democratic this fall. No more Puff the Magic Dragon policies and deceptions.

An insane person does the same thing over and over and over again, but they expect a different result. I'm not quite sure if McCain is insane or just plain OLD crazy!!!!! This policy has gotten us nowhere fast for the past eight years and he just wants to keep it going, huh? Hhhhhhhmmmmm!!!! Sounds like McSame to me!

John McCain is a lamb to slaughter and he doesn't realize it. He is marching lock step with the Republican party and they do not admit to mistakes nor do they take steps to correct them. They just try to cover it up.
The reason why there has been such heavy participation in the Democratic party is because America is tired of failed Republican policy and they desperately want to return to the days of peace and prosperity that the democrat party can provide.
I
t is time to end this age of anti-intellecutalism and start doing the smart thing. The time of darkness and dispair is coming to and end. HOPE is on the way. And the first thing we have to do is CHANGE. We must CHANGE the way we think and the way we do things.
I WANT MY GOVERNMENT BACK. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!

DEMOCRATS' 08
OBMAMA '08

Does this guy have a clue? All this tough talk gets you nothing but dead Americans. Our military, which I was a part of for 23 years, has been so weakened that it's depressing. "Obama 08" DIPLOMACY WORKS.

Also, could we try to use some basic grammar and punctuation in our posts? Is it too much to ask to present your argument in a way that doesn't read like an uneducated 5 year old was typing?

No Hillary !!!!!!!!!! Go McCain 08

Interesting poll out today by Gallop that says that 67% of all Americans in favor of our President talking with leaders of enemy countries. It also shows that 59% say our President should sit down with the President of Iran for talks. McCain has some work cut out for him. McCain and Clinton are both on the wrong side of this issue.

thanks for your PRO-WAR, violence is the answer campaign, mcsame! President obama really appreciated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IRAN IS THE NEW IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the poster who said this will cause the price of oil to skyrocket, that's not entirely true. The oil that Iran produces is very low grade (high in sulphur), which is why they import quite a bit of what they use. The oil we import is light sweet crude of a higher quality, so the sanctions on Iran should have a minimal effect on what we pay for a barrel of crude.

As far as the narratives switching to the economy, that's what I'm waiting for...to see if McCain is a true fiscal conservative...or just more of George Bush.

Not only does he support George Bush and uses the same talking points , Mccain at this address started looking and acting like Bush , making the same facial expressions and gestures as Bush when he speaks. Watch it and see for yourself.

We need to pull our troops out of Iraq and replace our troops with McCain, and while we are at it, throw Bush behind him.

McCain needs to run for president over there in Iran or Iraq, since he is obviously more concerned with their economy and their issues. And McCain can have Bush as his Vice President. That way they both can clean-up the mess that Bush created and the mess McCain wants to continue.

Obama '08

We the people have spoken!

And if the Super Delegates are smart and want to win in November with their Lifelong base in place, they will listen to the Will of the people!

If the will of the people is ignored….

McCain 08

How many examples of failed Sanction policies does the word need before realizing that A- they seldom work and B- the only people that they effect are the innocent civillians who suffer baddly while the leaders suffer not at all.

Sanctions take generations to become effective and even then only if the rest of the world community is on side (good luck).

DEE
and
MEL
you are so right
he can't even do one sentence with out bringing the war into it
he needs to take hill and bill and retire to portarica islands

Two (2) words McShame..................REVEREND HAGEE.

Do you think that Jewish-Americans that have ancestors whom have endured such suffering would be so blind as to believe you are endorsed by REVEREND HAGEE would care about them?! Like, duh!

As a woman, I prefer someone calling me Sweetie instead of the C___ word you called your lovely and ladylike wife.

Shame on you McShame.......

John McCain lacks a vision for Peace in the Middle East. As a "hawk" he will only get us into another war-this time with Iran. I don't believe he has the will or the vision to lead the United States out of this time of turmoil and uncertainty. His language and rhetoric is divisive and not unifying. There is NO way I would vote for John McCain. Also, he is totally wrong about Obama. Obama has the vision and the will to help forge a coalition for peace. He will not sell the US or Israel out, but will challenge all parties to come to the table and talk.

Go Obama!

Sounds a lot like our current president with all the saber-rattling and talk of proceeding with or without the support of the United Nations.

I believe we have a severely damaged international reputation to repair with all of our intelligence goofs in Iraq, so why doesn't John McCain just take a deep breath and think for a while before getting us into yet another situation which could ultimately lead to armed conflict?

For goodness sake, let's not leave our allies out of this one. I certainly hope I'm not witnessing the death of international diplomacy!!!!

So McCain is saying that the US, and not the UN, will be imposing sanctions and getting other countries to impose sanctions? *sigh*

This behavior is reckless and sounds just like something GW Bush would do – I really thought McCain would be a little better than Bush, but he is sounding like even more of a warmonger...

No worries, Obama will sweet talk Iran out of their nuclar bombs next year..

McSame cannot even get his facts straight or his brain in gear before he opens his motor mouth what chance his bid for President
Obama will cream him

There is a big reason why super old people don't drive.

We don't need McCain driving the country in the fast lane at 10mph with left blinker on for 4 years.... agh!!!

"Should the Security Council continue to delay in this responsibility, the United States must lead like-minded countries in imposing multilateral sanctions outside the
UN framework."

hmmm, sound familiar? why not, it worked great in iraq.

According to Msnbc.com web site, Obama has gain 2 more supers this morning. One from DNC Rules and Bylaws commitee member. Please update your front page CNN. Thanks

Keep ranting McSame. Your gaffes will soon overtake you.

My advice to the Stupid and ignorant clinton supporters.

Please Read Fact check and check the national polls for your self below is part of the facts from factcheck.com.

Clinton Spins Her Donors. She claims recent national Polls "consistently" show she'd win in November. That's not true.

Summary
The debt-strapped Clinton campaign is appealing for money with an e-mail telling potential donors that polls "consistently" show she would beat McCain in November, and that she's leading Obama in the popular vote. We find both claims are misleading.
A number of recent polls actually show Clinton tied with McCain, or even trailing. For most of 2008, polls have shown McCain ahead.
She can claim to have won more votes than Obama only by counting Michigan, a primary where Obama was not on the ballot and which Clinton once said "isn't going to count for anything."

McCain. Please realize (at least one of these days?) that talking to Iran IS a new idea. It's been our stated policy for two decades now not to talk to Iran.

The approval rates of the Iraq War are worse than Bush's, if that's even possible. So apparently the people don't agree with you that we're doing well there. But, then, why do something silly like care what the people think in a democracy? That's only for bleeding-heart liberals.

This is pathetic, US presidential candidates in a competition to prove their loyalty and commitment to Israel's brutal and immoral occupation of an entire people. And one wonders why there still is no peace in that region? Hopeless...

I find it hard to swallow that all of the Obama supporters just expect Hillary to fix all of Obama's electability problems.

Obviously, the swing voters are voting for Hillary. I think we are all trying to let you guys know we don't like your candidate.

No matter how much Hillary campains for Obama, he will still be unelectable. So don't blame Hillary, blame your candidate for having so many shady, radical, and terrorists supporting friends.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary.

All he talks about is the war and iran but have not yet talk
about local issues in America.We are wanting to know about
the economy. He is not strong their so he is staying away
from local issues.We are sick haering about Bush war and
policy,this is Bush all over again.We can not have change Mccain
in office.We need a leader that going to help the peoples him
in office,not Iraq or Iran.

Why are you spending so much time kissing Isreal's rear. They cost us so much money and are not even Christian souls!?!?

I'd like to know how many TAXPAYER dollars have been spent wheeling McCain over to Iraq and the Middle East so he can make talking points for his campaign. He has spoke so highly of the people in charge in Iraq and I would think he could rely on a few more briefings via conference calls, etc. For being in Iraq so much on my dime, you'd think he would have his facts straight about the war. Visiting the troops is always a worthy cause. It just bothers me when politicians do it for a photo op and McCain seems to be doing just that.

John McCain and the republicans knows only one thing that's war.

McCain was speaking at the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the influential pro-Israel lobbying organization.

obviously, he cannot stay away from lobbyists and the NOT NECESSARY WAR in Iraq.

Warmonger Panderer and no substance

You got my vote late Saturday afternoon.

McCain hasn't learned anything from the mistake that Hillary made. Positioning yourself as the candidate of experience is the WRONG way to beat Obama. Experience within an arguably failed, antiquated system is irrelevant. People want CHANGE and McCain is an old man peddling certain continuation of Bush policy. Carry on, John. March to your defeat. You're wrong on foreign policy and you were wrong on the Iraq war. Wait until the narrative switches to the economy and health care. You're finished.

it is not over until the fat lady sings

Let us wake and read between the lines.

Hilary will not get the DNC nomination for whatever reason..

she will run as an independent and win...

that is the only way for a woman to get the white house.

Blacks has been coached for years since JFK..Obama is and always be will be a pawn for the DNC.

Grandpa,forget about Iran and Iraq for a second.Please,talk how you intend to booster the nose diving economy,fall in the value of our dollar,the rising price of gasoline etc.These are more important issues that will determine my vote in the fall.Join issues more with
Obama on these serious matters than your constant flip flop on wars,
Iraq and Iran.I really need a break 'cause i'm tired.

There is nithing new here... Same OLD BUSH POLICY... just a different messenger! McSame

all this guy talks about is war war war...why hasn't he slammed Obama on something else

Does Mccain see the consequence of this sancition? Oil pirce will be skyrocketing? Who will benefit? please don't say " I know to handle ....this". It is hiding something to be explained ? If you know tell us you handle.

I am tired of the Republicans they Know that Barack is better in every field than them so they want to make cheap shots that is fine so all bloggers it is time to point out Mcsames flaws like His illegal actions in the senate hist Voting record his Flip Flopping on differentr Positions and the list goes on lets Expose this Fraud of a Man

"Essential to this strategy is the UN Security Council, which should impose progressively tougher political and economic sanctions. Should the Security Council continue to delay in this responsibility, the United States must lead like-minded countries in imposing multilateral sanctions outside the
UN framework."

And if that doesn't work, McSames answer would be to Bomb them back to the Dark Ages! What a LOSER!

McCain really seems to have lost his way. He used to be an honorable politician before he wanted to become president at any cost.

That man John McCain will say anything to win the white house. Obama's strategy for the middle east is the best and meant for the 21st century. McCain still lives the coldwar era all over again. Obama's strategy of diplomacy is a winner and will limit Iran in its bid. Bush's tactics in the middle east which is what McCain wants to follow is what has made Iran stronger, Al-qaeda enboldened. That cold war era man must be rejected by all republicans, democrats, jews, africans, hispanics and independents. God save AMERICA

The current policy, which McCain backs, in the Middle East, is not working. Iran continues to be an increasing threat (at least according to the Bush adminstration...who actually knows the truth?). Hamas and Hezbolla are fighting each other and Israel. Syria, Afghanistan and a host of other countries all have problems with instability and insurgents. How is the "experience" that McCain claims to have helping? I have a suggestion! Let's try something different and new!
Bush, McCain and the rest of the knee-jerk policy Republicans have made a catastrophy of the area. Let's see if someone with some brains can start to fix things......

"limiting Iran's ability to import gasoline"...
Did he say this?...Does he knows Iran export oil?
This man is really out of touch

Hey, let's not wait. Let's go to war with Iran now. If we wait, it will only get more expensive. We are only $9,000,000,000,000 in debt, and that alone is one reason to look for a deal.

We'll show 'em who's boss and save money doing it.

Use those sanctions.... after all, look how well they have worked against Cuba for 40 years... or is it 50 now?

Senator Obama wants to talk to them... but you know what they say,...

.... "Talk is cheap.."

So McBush wants to pick another war, this time with Iran. Then next Korea. Go McSame you are such a warmonger. Next time you visit Iraq don't go into the safe zone. Just go out in the streets and let everyone knows we are winning.

who in their right mind with any conscience, knowing that this is an illegal and immoral war started by Bush for oil and revenge for his daddy nearly getting killed, would vote for this old crony!!!!
keep spilling out your war rhetoric you old fool.....
NO ONE with a conscience is listening....that would be 82% of Americans
Your wasting your time MCBush

People like you and BUSH are dangerous for this world because you think that only force can resolve everything .Let me tell you this everybody knows how a WAR starts but nobody knows how IT ends .

Who is naive??

McCain thinks that we have returned to pre-surge levels in Iraq when we have in fact 2 more brigades in Iraq than prior to the surge.

McCain believes Al queda is going into Iran to get weopons and supplies and then returning to Iraq. In fact Iran does not like Al queda and does not help them out in any way.

McCain confuses shia and sunni parties in the region all the time. This is like saying the Martin luther was catholic after he nailed hes 99 or 95 thesis on the church wall.

McCain says he will not be lectured about troops from somebody who has not served in war, talking about Obama. However, he is ready to believe everything George Bush and John McCain says as gospel, even though George Bush was a draft dodger and was too scared to go to war when his name was called!

Get your facts straight McCain, you are the one who is either very naive or out right delusional.

Another dumb politician who thinks that the world can be bullied. Middle Eastern countries do not fall for this type of rhetoric or sanctions. John McCain, you actually have to convince them that it's in their best interest to work with our country and the rest of the world. Idiots!!!

McShame is an idiot who wants to continue the same failed policies of his mentor G. Bush
Your fate is already mapped out

This fossil true colors will soon be shown – as soon as Miss Hillary go back to New York.

I cannot wait to see this fossil stand next to Obama – then you tell me who looks more presidential. McCain is a phony and crook. remember the keaton 6.

McCain is right, and by far would be a better leader and President then Obama.

Being a political prisoner for five years and being in the senate for a long time doesn't necessary make you an expertise on foreign policy.

It's your lack of judgement, commitment and principles that will eventually be expisosed should Obama's team run a good campaign.

Here are a few examples of your frequent shift in positions and lack of it:

Supporting the invasion of Iraq war – Lack of judgment, whether you visit the country 50 or 100 times and whether the number of current troop level equals pre-surge or not. Is still lack of judgment.

Shifting to become independent and back to Rebublican party just to win the nomination shows lack of ideals and principals.

No firm sound foreign policy doctrine other than echoing warn out ideas of the past and making empty claims of expertise in the field.

Tell us a new foreign policy ideas you have put forward in the last 10 years.

Continuously supporting Israel no matter what is like supporting a prodigal son who never learn how to live as a good person with a decent, healthy life style. When such a prodigal son who could never grow up independently and still look forward to pan-handling to his parents so often, the father should divorce him better sooner than later.

Oh McCain, no one is listening to your drivel ! (Note Hillary and her supporters, notice McCain is directing EVERYTHING to Obama, he is ignoring YOU) That should tell you something, eh?

McCain still can't lift his arms over his head.

McCain, I hear your middle east policy....but we should keep open dialogue with iran too as they are neighbours to Iraq, Pakistan , Afghanistan and Turkey. If we alienate Iran without a good dialogue, that is not a good president's approach in foreign policy matters.

OBAMA 2008...!!!

To the author of this report, well written. As a voter, I want the facts and not just rhetoric of misquoting half of what the other canidate said. Politics will always be politics, but a news station can do the voter a service with commentary like this.

Mcbush just wants to fignt another war with Iran that is what Bush has been trying to sell the American people for the past year. Mcshame will contiune the same failed policies as Bush this is not the man we want running our Country

What a royal mess. And what is our Congress doing except debating some non-critical global warming issues? Don’t they ever set priorities? Nancy Pelosi you have not kept your word you gave the American people two years ago.

McCain sound so much like a "derivative of the Bush Administration".........and look where it has gotten Bush and America......in the pickle barrel......McCain represents the same old guard rherotic.......expecting different results.....and that is "insane."

We must never allow Iran to project military power throughout the region, which is their ultimate goal. This is the lesson we learned and should never loose site of as a result of the Iranian Hostage situation, which another neophyte president (Jimmy Carter) severely botched. Stabilization amd maintenance of a democratic Iraq, is the lynchpin to preventing that from happening. McCain is right and Obama is wrong on this issue.

It's mcshame bearings intact?

Liebierman needs to go check this angry old man's bearings!

Shut up McSame. Silly old man you. No check that, keep talking so that the people can see what you really are. Speak on MY FRIEND.

I admire Mr. McCain for his past patriotism and service. However I find it tough to comprehend how he can still say that the Iraq war was a great idea. I also don't see why he stays away from president Bush while still supporting most of his failed policies. I think that McCain inviting Obama to Iraq is funny and I say Go ahead McCain. Iraq is a wonderfully safe place and you should visit there with Obama. But don't bring the military escort, a bulletproof vest, or the endless caravan of soldiers and HumVees with you because remember you and your mentor Bush have it all under control. Do it publicly at a hotel in Baghdad and sit there for ten minutes until Barack gets there.
Just because you are a war hero that deosn't mean you deserve the presidency. If that were the case then John Kerry would have won it!

McCain is a LOSER !!! He doesnt stand a chance in November

So what's happening with McCain. Is the Bush money running out for him so now he's looking for new sources of financing – from oil to diamonds?

Blah blah blah. More George W. Blah blah... I know more than you do. This country is in the crapper and we don't need to continue to run along the same path that the Republican machine has put us all on. "I will do nothing", is what McCain essentially will be able to do. Sanctions have done nothing and will continue on that path. Talk to these people, learn about thier expectations, learn about their culture and shut up on the threats! Do something different or sit there with your head up your rear end and play the blame game.

McCain needs a new strategy for his debate on foreign policy. What he currently uses is getting kind of old. He is all over the map on all the issues. More so, he is not addressing issues at home. He's not not told us how he's going to ease our pain so we will have the strenght to support him on issues abroad. Charity they say begins at home. First make us fairly comfortable before you jump in to making other countries comfortable.

Sounds like McCain wants to build a strong alliance like Bush did....
We see how successful that was – Tony Blair isn't around anymore, so Maverick will probably just have us go it alone. Wonder how long it will be before he claims to have prrof that they have WMDs?

McCain will continue to exploit Obama's inexperience.

It is a shame the fawning media wouldn't allow this to be done during the primary process and we wouldn't be stuck with a candidate like Obama.

I'll be switching parties to vote McCain in the fall.

We cannot afford to have 'on the job training' in the office of the presidency.

McCAIN IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO OLD

Wow, that is a scary picture. It looks like another sequel to Night of the Living Dead without all of the charisma.

You go John! McCain/Lieberman/Keating 08!

John, sorry to say you are sad to hear. It that all you know, hello you are not putting fear in no one's minds. there are other problems here in the states! LIKE AMERICAN LOSING THERE HOME, LIKE AMERICAN CAN NOT AFORD THE GAS PRICES, LIKE AMERICAN CAN NOT FINE WORK ! HELLO, HELLO ARE YOU RETARD OR WHAT?

The short armed McCain has begun his useless attacks on Obama. He enjoys using naïve and inexperience a lot, but I find it funny because all those traits reflect McCain, especially when it came time to vote on the immoral war in Iraq. He can barely remember basic facts about Iraq and the Middle East. Someone with so much experience should not make dumb mistakes on a consistent basis. Makes me wonder how much experience does he really have?

we have already put sanctions on iran, with no effects. during this admin. the iranians have continued to build their nuclear program. mccains just building his case to go to war.

Give it a rest McSane. Stop trying to lure Obama into you and Bush's failed scheme to take over the planet with your Repubickan Wars! You disgust me.

"The speech — one of a series of addresses laying out policies McCain would pursue as president — included a nod to the United Nations, but the candidate made clear he would press ahead with or without the world body's support."

Remind you of anyone?

Considering how well sanctions have worked thus far, perhaps a little dialog wouldn't hurt...

Once again John McCain wakes up fresh and ready to take on the day. Unfortunately he again forgot he is a stooge and knows nothing about what he is talking about. And once again he will learn the lesson that his younger, opponent has better judgement than he does and actually does understand things like our econony, the environment, energy policies and is vastly superior in foriegn policy than Mr. McSame.

An old, idiot warmonger. Same old stuff from the same old folks.

this guy is off his rocker.
as far as iraq goes, the people john mccain seems not to care about, the american people, want this war over. the reason i say he seems not to care about us is that he ignores the voice of the people on this issue. also it seems he only cares about the middle east. he never takes about this country. i don't want to sound uncaring when it comes to the iraqi people but we should come first in the eyes of the people we elect!!!

Clinton backers want to vote for this guy? How can they do that with a clear conscience?

"'Thumbs up' traditionally translates as the foulest of gesticular insults in some Middle Eastern countries — the most straightforward interpretation is 'Up yours, pal!' according to Roger E. Axtell's book Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World."

Nice job with the picture of McCain giving the double thumbs-up...

Every time I see a headline that mentions McInSane I see a image of a nuttybot crowd of gunho followers chanting at the GOP convention, "WAR-MONGER, WAR-MONGER, WAR-MONGER!"

Remember America, "A vote for McInSane is a vote for WWIII."

WAR, WAR AND MORE WAR; ALL HE KNOW (OR THINK HE KNOW'S) IS WAR.

I cant WAIT until the GE!

McCain hasnt seen the political light of day in a while since winning his party's nomination. He is dillusional and is showing his age!

Get out the way sir, or be run over. The Obamanation is on its way.

Same old failed foreign policies.

mcaine is a catastrophe. he claims to be an expert but he gets information wrong or twisted constantly. he's senile and anybody would be an absolute idiot to vote for this crazy old man

more of the same from McCain. "but the candidate made clear he would press ahead with or without the world body's support." isn't this what got us in trouble in Iraq? making unilateral decisions because of Israel?

John McCain needs to drop the black-and-white, good-versus-evil rhetoric and start dealing with world problems as if they're all shades of grey. Otherwise, Obama is going to be completely successful in casting McCain in the image of Dubya.

"Essential to this strategy is the UN Security Council, which should impose progressively tougher political and economic sanctions. Should the Security Council continue to delay in this responsibility, the United States must lead like-minded countries in imposing multilateral sanctions outside the UN framework."

In other words, if you are not with us, you are against us. Certainly sounds like a third Bush term.

I learned a lot about government arrogance and the disregard for truth, lives and treasure when I fought for 2 years in Vietnam. This mess in Iraq is the same thing, and we need a CHANGE from the status quo. Same goes for negotiation with our enemies, to make the world a better place for us all. McCain is the same old, same old.

An Independent, and VIETNAM VET for Obama

What a sick man... McCain loves Bush... but not this time not this year.

Obama 08!!!

You can run but you cannot hide, O'Bummer.

I'm a Republican....yeah John...I think we should continue on with policies that don't work...I think if you keep trying the same failed policy over and over....it will start working ....omg....when old style politics don't work anymore....thats why I am supporting Obama....(with many Republicans....Independents....and smart Democrats) -

This man is Bush all over again. His only plan is to put our military at war with Iran which will endanger Israel, Jordan and more chaos in Iraq and Afgan. McCain will leave no room for any diplomacy which is not in the best interest of the United States or the Middle East. This makes for a disaster.

Well McCain, the last intelligence estimate showed Iran has had NO nuclear weapons program in FIVE YEARS!

But when does McBush let facts get in the way?

Hey, maybe you'll find those Iraqi WMD in Iran!

McCain, what a loser

This man is Bush all over again. His only plan is to put our military at war with Iran which will endanger Israel, Jordan and more chaos in Iraq and Afgan. McCain will leave no room for any diplomacy which is not in the best interest of the United States or the Middle East. McCain is crazy.

Mc Cain is a loser. It the economy not war.

Keep talking you senile, old fool. Let's see how many facts you can mess up in the next few months.

Sen. McCain would do well to give the Voters SUBSTANCE and stop using the AGE OLD REPUBLICAN DISTRACTIONS with NO SUBSTANCE to fool the public.

Voters have had enough of this type of rhetoric and we are well informed due to the blessing of today's techonology. All that we miss our CHILDREN are providing us with the information.

This is the age of Yound People and Techonology and the Pandering by Candidates with ABSOLUTELY NO SUBSTANCE WILL NOT WASH

THE REPUBLICANS WILL FIND THEMSELVES FACING A NEW GENERATION AND ONE THAT'S FULLY INFORMED AND WILL NOT ACCEPT DISTRACTIONS, ONLY SUBSTANCE.

UNLESS THERE IS SUBSTANCE WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT LISTENING.

THE QUICKER SEN. MC CAIN GET THIS THE BETTER

SEN. MC CAIN IS COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH.

im sorry but besides being prejudice what has iran done?? if they are funding insurgents in iran, well, we did the same exact thing to them during the iran-iraq war. what exactly have they done to deserve these measures?

Dear American Voters,

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences in my professional, political, and personal opinion are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" connectedness.
3. Vision and mission for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies first USA centric than other countries centric.

In my professional opinion one senator has it and the other does not. We need one for our Greatgrand Nation to address our all these challenges with a fresh, clean and new slate.

God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.

Yours truly,

I want a candidate who is concerned about America first. After 60 years, isn't it time Israel stood on her own two feet? Aren't the trillions of dollars we have given Israel over the years enough? This is the United States. Not a subdivision of Tel Aviv. Wake up, Americans!

John McSame needs to quit. These attacks won't work this year. The steaks are too high to have another 4 years of Republican leadership.

Obama 08!

VERY GOOD MCCAIN YOU WILL LOSE ANYWAY...............

Let's see........McCain took 7 trips to Iraq and wants to continue as we've been doing, spending $3billion a week there!!! And Obama, who argued against such a war, went to Iraq once, was convinced that we needed to withdraw reasonably and not precipitously, and we're supposed to think McCain has the better judgment??? NOT.

All I can say at this point is "a vote for McCain is a vote for insane."

war mongger, always 'lets fight' whom do you want to fight? obviously you are fighting yourself. No more fight mcsame ok.

John McSame has little chance of winning this election... the more he talks the more of a fool he shows himself to be.

Watch Obama change his tune in his speech this week and deny that he would "talk" to Iran without preconditions–maybe he could "plagerize" a little of McCains speech.

How much is their lobby paying you John?Let me know when they start paying taxes or become a state.

Obama is weak on defense, ignorant on economics, and naive on diplomacy.

The only questions are if the American people are so gullible that they fall for the simpleton attacks of Obama and if the media will continue to give Obama a free ride.

Notice how the Republican Party isn't even bothering with Hillary anymore? It's because she is irrelevant.

Time to call it quits, Mrs. Clinton!

Go McCain, we Hillary supporters will NOT vote for Obama...you are the man!!!!!!!

The Obama campaign fired back, where is this weak so called leader Obama can he not speak for himself, without written speeches.

God what a loser, hiding behind a team of thugs barking out attacks against McCain like a pack of hyenas.

Now you know why Clinton is the only strong leader, she would be fighting back herself, because she is the most capable and she is the most knowledgeable about foreign affairs and war and peace strategy.

H.R. Clinton President 2009-2012

There is America and Americans that he need to concentrate on this land and the economy.
All he knows is war and rumors of war.

mccain's strategy offers no vision for peace.he is another gw bush.

McSame you are going have your butt whipped come November. Even though my number one is not going to take the Dem nomination, my number two will defeat you too. For the 30% that feel Bush is an okay guy, here is your clone. No McBush, no McSame. Obama 08 and 12

Well isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

John McCain is Bush's 3rd and 4th term.

And now the real race begins...

McCain is a backstabber.

Veterans have been betrayed by this man!

A vote against the GI Bill is a signal that he does not care a bout the young people he wrongly put in harms way!

Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?

MsSame is an idiot. He is like Bush.
All he wants is WAR.

MCSAME WAR IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING YOU FOOL!

War Hero or not, I find this man repulsive.
