Are we safer, our economy is better, jobs are plentiful, US soldiers are not being killed, Iraq is a democracy and giving us a discount on oil, did they give us an oil well and some of the billions of dollars profits.? Oh yeah! and Osama Bin Laden has been captured, killed or is on death row. Am I missing something? Sonceraee Yeldell John McCain says we suceeded in Iraq. We won. Question: what did we win?

When was the last time you ran for elected office to change something? Let me guess........ummmm most likely never!?! You all think it's just easy to end a military conflict and bring the troops home. Let's load em up on buses Betsy and they'll all be home by dinner time. Or to wave a magic wand and change the economy around. Well it ain't that simple Buckwheat. Whether this war was justified or not we are there. Sure, we could all be quiters and bring the troops home but that's not what I thought America was all about. I guess that means we should close up all of our overseas bases and bring all of the troops home. We tried isolationship once....that thought ended with the beginning of WW2. History shows that dictators need to be held in check or things get out of control.

There is nothing slanderous here- just some truth about Obama's meager record. And give me a break on McCain not supporting veterans and GI Bills. These comments are misleading. McCain was pushing for and holding out for a FAIR GI Bill- one that would reward vets for the number of years they served our country. The bill he was against would have given the same benefits for those that only served one or two years. This would not promote re-enlistment, and NOT be good for our country or our national security... and be UNFAIR to veterans that served through multiple deployments.

While Obama is certainly intelligent, charismatic, and silver tongued, those qualities don't necessarily make for a good president (of course they can't hurt either). Rather, the best candidate and future president has articulable, realistic policy goals coupled with the experience to put them into action. Thus, of the two candidates, John McCain is clearly the preferred choice, particularly when it comes to foreign policy matters.

But no… they pick this far left wackjob with no experience that falls on his face the second a teleprompter isn't in front of him.

When the Republicans win this I'm gonna be rolling on the floor laughing… I simply cannot believe the democratic party could blow it this year!

In the unlikely event Obama doesn't win the Presidency, you can thank fools like yourself, and all of those extreme radical Hillary fundamentalists that blindly cast their vote for McAncient out of their sorest of sore-loser spite.

Just because you're a veteran, doesn't mean you are qualified for every situation. It's too bad McCain has nothing more to go on than just his veteran status.

Randy Scheunemann and Kori Schake, McCain’s senior foreign policy advisors, could not comprehend the current political environment well enough to anticipate Obama’s strategy to use the success of the surge in Iraq to his benefit in focusing the campaign on Afghanistan. In the past week Obama has shown McCain, Scheunemann and Schake to be incompetent in making strategy as they mindlessly ignored the big picture of the evolving conditions of the war. McCain’s senior policy advisors lost their grip on strategic reality because they were persuaded of their own ingenuity when, rather than planning for a long campaign to counter a tough and determined opponent, all they did for past few months was respond to Obama’s actions with pithy put-downs, hackneyed slogans, and now over the top attack ads.

Support our country, go after the people who attacked us. Support our soldiers for the sacrifices they make for us every day. Quit wasting their lives on a fools errand. Get us out of where we do not belong, and finish the job in Afganistan. Let our soldiers win the war. They are professionals, let them do their jobs. Then bring them home and greet them with the respect and love they have more than earned. Quit sending all our jobs overseas so they will have something to return to, besides debt. Also when you see a soldier out in public, take a minute and Thank her or him for their service. John Well this artical has helped convince me. Senator McCain is a brave and couragous veteran.
