MCSAME= WARS

ARB July 18th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

why is everyone on here an obama supporter? Just the mere sound of obama's voice makes me wanna puke.
————————————————————————————————
You Idiot .. We are not Obama Support …. We are Democratic Supporters/Voters/Electorate …….

Obama supporters were for the Primaries … We are now in the G.E … Democratic Party vs Republican Party … Fool

Confused is right. My friends are we succeeding ?or have we succeeded in Iraq, that is the question, I think, or uh, I can win wars, err…honey, where are my pills?

McCain = Bush

All in all, McBush is sooo jealous and in fear that Obama is going to be such as success overseas! He wished he was getting all this attention going abroad. He knows that only the press who are trying to stay on his Bar-b-q list care to cover his boring, much the same like Bush campaign. That's why he is going to be saying all these things about war, and fake terror threats to try to stay relevant!

John McCain, more like Bush now than ever.

Using fear tactics of another terrorist attack to get elected. Continually criticizing his trip abroad and even going so far as to insuate that he is a Socialist.

John McCain is a desperate man, knows this is his last shot at the presidency and, like Bush, will lie cheat or steal to win.

VOTE DEMOCRAT and clear out these republicans once and for all (or for at least the next 8 yers). It will take 80 years to recover from G.W. Bush!

What in the……?

I am in a state of "confusement"…lol

Have we succeeded or are we expecting spectacular attacks from those which we have succeeded against?

McCain has one bearing left and that's about lost as well.

You can't blame him, it worked for George Bush. In fact I think GW is going to purposefully do something that will scare the public, so they can vote for John McCain in November. It won't work with most people, but some people are so gullible.

Obama 08

Same old story from the republicans…they can't win an election the right way….loosers!

The democrats are terrified at the travesty of justice of going forward with an installed nominee.

We are terrified of the death of our democratic process and the birth of tactics of race-baiting, hatred at fellow democrats, insults and threats to subvert the process and to force a nominee on the party.

True democrats will stand firm and oppose the election of the demagogue, Obama.

Nothing else matters if democracy and freedom are lost to tyranny.

McFear!

I dissagree with McCain.

I think that they will wait until AFTER the elections, maybe as long as 3 months.

After all, it happend to both Bush and Clinton and don't foreget JFK's missles of October.

MCSAME= WAR EVERYWHERE

What is this crazy old man talking about? Does he know?
Have we "succeeded" or not? What does "succeed" mean?

The point is, whether we leave Iraq in 2 years or 100 years, Iraq will never be the place we would like it to be and we will never claim absolute "victory". I believe we have succeeded in giving Iraq a chance to mold it's own country. But that will never begin to happen while we still have troops there. It's time to cut the leash and let the country determine it's own future.

why does everything think that obama will be better for this country, when this idiot has ABSOLUTELY no experience whatsoever!!!! please explain this to me? i'm dying to know.

I really believe McCain and his people, Bush and company are working on that right now so he can have a better chance at becoming the President of the United States, wonder how much money they are having to pay the insurgents.

Does anyone not recall that we heard exactly the same rhetoric four years ago? If the surge is truly working in significant ways, how can McCain explain these contradictory fearmongering predictions?

This guy is an old war monger who loves to use fear tatics.

ELECT THIS WARMONGER PRESIDENT, AND WE WILL BE FIGHTING WARS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!

I think that its naive to hope that terror issues are going to go away because Obama wins. We live in a crazy world that is getting scarier every day. Whomever gets elected better be prepared to defend this country. I will predict that either Obama or McCain will have to seriously consider bringing back the military DRAFT in the next 8 years. I dont know who is best prepared to deal with this mess but to simply call it fear mongering will not make these lssues go away.

START taxing the rich (including flip-flopper McCain and his adulterous heiress wife)!

STUPID PUMA PAC
GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCSAME

STUPID PUMA PAC
STOP LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD

EVEN IF HILLARY DECIDES TO RUN IN 2012 SHE WII
NEVER WIN.

Not one good comment here for Mcain.
Hmmmm. wonder why.

Sure they will, old man….Because they're just dying for the election to lean toward another Fascist Neocon in the white house. (that was oozing with sarcasm)

Keep threatening us, you fear-mongering scumbag…Enough people were taken in by dubya and cheney's scare-tactics last time around, but now they see what it has brought them. Less than 30% of the nation is insane enough to think neocon policies are good for the US.

mcbush go home!!!!!!!!!!!! we dont car about your opinions.

Some jerk marked another post as spam, so I repost it:

"McCain was part of the Keating Five, causing a recession. Syminton 4,causing another recession. He cleaned out MILLIONS of Elderly Investments Leaving MILLIONS of Elderly with NO PENSIONS, caused another recession.
to date. All of their money is in his pockets.
Arizona has the highest in the USA Mortgage Defaults, causeing another recession. Highest in Illegal Aliens. Highest in Crime. McCain
is America's DISCRACE And a LIAR LAIR"

all Obama has to do is sit back and let McCain keep talking…Obama will be President with out even having to try

All the more reason to leave Iraq.

Auntie Coosa, yes it does take a long time to change tribal mentality. When will our tribe stop trying to force other tribes to have democracy, and American style values? Let others alone and they would probably let us alone.

The animosity goes back to the Crusades, and we just keep perpetuating the heavy-handedness that earns Americans the worldwide reputation of being loud bullies.

McCAIN is OUT OF TOUCH WITH WHAT PEOPLE WANT

McCain and the G.O.P has made it clear that if attacks don't increase, that's good for every American but John McCain, plain and simple.

The man's name is McCain you dummies and he is right. The moment those terrorists believe they can get one over on us they're going to do it. Show one sign of weakness and watch for another 911.

Is he and his TWIN Bush going to implement this terror attacks?

OLD FOOL!

Then why isn't McWar discussing this with his best friend GW?

I really think there is something seriously wrong with him. I think in his mind he has to go to war to make up for all those years he was confined. It's creepy.

Note to John:
It’s going to be okay, we’ll protect you. Just go take a long nap and we’ll bring you some hot tea.

What Americans haven't noticed is Bush doesn't want McCain for President. (whether it's because he doesn't like him, thinks he is dangerous, wants his grandchildren in safer hands? all of above)
Detente with N Korea, talks with Iran, attending China Olympics, freeing hostages while McCain was in Columbia, shifting to Obama's policies on Iraq and Afghanistan, cell phones in Cuba.
The world is going to be so peaceful and full of love America won't need a nut job who sang songs while dropping bombs from 20,000 feet.

RKS - Bush was on vacation before 9-11 and IGNORED a memo about it.
McAlzheimer's can't remember his voting record. He is so crazy it would take a ton of Aricept and Haldol to straighten him out.
K-K-K-Karl Rove would be proud!!!

There's a bigger danger that Obama's appeasement of terrorists and terrorist regimes will encourage Al Qaeda to come to the U.S. and this time, stay.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED REPUBLICAN FEAR TACTICS!!!

McCain should be ashamed of himself. This man will do anything to get elected. What this phony is really trying to say is that if you don't elect him, we will get suffer horrendous terror attacks at home.

Sounds so similar to the two men in his campaign, one who said that it would be good for McCain if an attack hap[pened before November.

This is typical Republican fear mongering. Is a lying, cheating, old man with old ideas who we really want in the White House???

Pathetic!

Obama '08!

(CNN) — John McCain said Friday he expects the presidential election this fall will increase the occurrence of "spectacular" terror attempts in Iraq………McWar I didn't know you could stoop so low
FEAR MONGERING!!!!!

" We have succeeded in Iraq"

Great! Now we can bring most of the troops home and shift a few to the original objective in Afghanistan.

I wouldn't be happy on the Obama train. Hiring him for President would be like hiring someone off the street…………………..wait a minute……………………Obama is just off the street! Give me McCain if Hillary can't have it. I want experience,folks!!!!!!!!!! Not a street corner Socialist,promising everyone anything that will get a vote.

We have succeeded in Iraq…..
We are expecting a spectacular attack before the elections
We have succeeded in Iraq…..
We may have to have troops in Iraq for the next 10 or more years
We have succeeded in Iraq…..

You don't have to worry about WMD….
(there weren't any to begin with)
We are getting rid of Al Qaeda in Iraq
(we brought them in, we should take them out)

We will count the days until Obama goes to Iraq…
Obama is just going to Iraq for a photo op….

I'm not an expert on the economy….so I have advisers for that….
My advisor says you all are just a bunch of whiners….just because you can't afford a gallon of gas….or milk…..

and obama will bring us nothing but misery pepou if he gets elected.

John Bush McCain hates women. McCain thinks women love to get raped. McCain thinks wife-beating is funny. McCain abandoned his wife and their three kids for a little rich girl(Cindy McCain) 35 years younger than he is.

And the campaign of fear rolls on.

What's scary John is looking at the gas pump saying 5 gallons and you've already put in 25 bucks! The economy is what's scary.

Boo! Vote for me!

Eh, Halloween isn't for three more months.

i love obama!

-Bush Mission accomplished
-Bush God advised me to go to war with Iraq
-Mccain we have succeded
-Mcain God talk to me about future occurrence of "spectacular" terror
attempts in Iraq
Conservative right wing who call them self Christians are using God to decieve us people wake up and start praying .

Is the attack going to be spectacular because of the awesome weapons we sold them?

He should change his Bus name to "Fear Machine"

Funny isn't it…he can predict that there will be more attacks, he can predict disaster if we leave Iraq. It's just too bad he couldn't predict that Iraq would turn into the disaster it had before it happened. Sorry McCain, you've been wrong from the start and continue to be wrong. Your scare tactics don't work this time around.

Obama '08.

Very 'callous'- the use of the word 'spectacular'.. the fact that the terrorists use that word does not mean it should come from the lips of a wanna-be US president. Terrorism is terrorism, and whether it is on a small or large scale does not diminish its impact on the lives of people…

Ah yes, REPUBLICANS, the party of fear tactics.

Fear-Mongering .. When will this Stop?!?

A terrorist attack? That means your surge isn't working, McSame!

Whatever happened to "It's safe to visit the market?" Go put your helmet and flak-vest back on.

It's my hope, that they( our enemies) aren't listening………and if they are; they don't read English or understand it……………for our sake!

Like predicting the rain…., it's all about the timing..

Is he lieing?

Is he just a feeble old man that really doesn't remember where he has been or what he has said?

Do we need either in the White House?

Put the NO in NOvember for this old fool.

An old Vets home would be the perfect place for old John.

Is anyone really surprised by this???? Bush did the same thing before his re-election…Fear Mongering at its finest! NOT THIS TIME!!!

To PUMAS or whatever you people are. This particular blog is in regard to statements made by McCain. Why are you on here continuing to diss Obama and spout pro Hillary garbage. Get a life!! She's out!!!

Obama/Biden or Clark, 08
No Hillary for VP

He is being a realist. Remember the terrorist attacks in Spain before their elections? You bunch of Obamites have a short memory and big mouths.

It has to take most serious here since most of the words coming out of the McCain haters are McSame McShame McBush or McIcan'tcomeupwithanoriginalonebecauseIamakoolaiddrinker…

so why don't we stick to facts, saying down with McCain makes me want to vote for Obama less and less,

that and he called Privatization of Social Security Social Darwinism, one of those two.

Welcome Baby Mac in the fearsland. What can the GOP offers about the big problems we get in the States and around the world? Fears and war. Give us a break man. We are not in 2000 or 2004. Wake up warmonger.

Terror = Obama stealing the nomination of the once democratic party.

Since when do we allow one democrat to label other democratic candidates and their supporters, 'racist'?

Since when do we strong-arm the supporters of the other democratic candidate at caucus?

Since when do we threaten to black out the vote if the half-black man is not GIVEN the nomination?

Since when do we allow Oprah, Caroline, MSNBC, CNN, Dean, Pelosi, the DNC, black pundits, and superdelegates to SELECT AND INSTALL the weakest, least qualified, most arrogant elitist as our nominee?

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL BEING CONFUSED.

McCain is a fearmonger and a warmonger. He's too old and too unstable for the job. He's just not qualified, just on those terms alone, not to mention he's clueless about our economy.
And we have NOT succeeded in Iraq. The war was 100% unnecessary, so all the bloodshed and trillions of dollars spent have not made us one bit safer. God bless the fallen troops and their families — and all the families that will suffer economically because of this unnecessary sacrifice. Bush gets most of the blame, but McCain supports Bush all the way. They're inseparable.

MaCain is so out of touch!..Still uses dirty tactics to hit Obama..And making false accusations of what Obama has said. Shame on you Mr McCain!..How can you not know Czechoslovakia dont exist anymore? How can you not know about birth control pills and Viagra? How can you be the next President when with so many years in the senate you still make mistakes like these!!!!!

Sounds like McCain and Cheney have more and more in common. Both are radical war mongers and will use the terrorists to drive a wedge right through the heart of the United States. This is a sad day in America.

McCain says he "knows how to win wars." How did he learn to win wars? The only war he's been in was one in which he was a prisoner. Besides that, America didn't actually win that war.

Failing your mission and being held prisoner does not make you a hero or a leader.

Attention CNN can you please call this man out its about time the news started covering his contradictory statements if he wants coverage than give him coverage.

I just read a laughable advert on MSNBC that claimed Bush had an IQ of 125 that must be the number of times he took the test and failed to get over a score of 95. as for McCain his score looks like being five points under bush's subnormal score of 95.

Good grief and McCain the senile old man who believes women enjoy being raped and makes jokes about it could become president.

keith oblermann could n't call his dog home….do any of you see a problem getting your world news from a sports anchor?

John, Americans have overdosed on scare tactics–we're done. We are in rehab and ready for a new, vibrant and fresh administration.

That, unfortunately for you–is a vote for Barack Obama.

See ya.

O/08

If we are going to have a "spectacular" attack, then we haven't "succeeded"..this is SENILITY at its best….

McOld needs to go sit down in his rocking chair!!!!

TO ARB…everyone on here is NOT an Obama supporter, just people who know fear mongering when they see it!!!!

ARB- you make me puke,stealing peoples names ,on here,and spouting comments they dont support.what's limbaugh promising you to try and create chaos on the blogs.at least you are using your own name this time.u r a troll.

Yeah I heard the terrorist are going to replace all the beer in your wife's warehouse with Stella Atrois.
McCain/Liberman/Keating 08!

Another surge…of fear. McCain has no shame. It really is time for a change.

Duh ! The surge is working supposedly ! Victory in Iraq ? In a hundred years ? This old man needs to be taken out of his misery in November !

I WIOULD LIKE TO REMIND SENATOR MCCAIN THAT THERE WAS
A 9-11. YES, WE WERE ATTACKED, AND AS FAR AS I CAN
REMEMBER, WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UNDER A THREAT OF
TERRORIST ATTACK.. THAT IS NOTHING NEW. IN FACT, THE
ONLY THING THAT IS NEW IS THAT WHEN OUR PRESIDENT
BUSH DECIDED TO DECLARE HIS MISGUIDED WAR AGAINST
IRAQ, THE NUMBER OF TERRORISTS GREW OUT OF
PROPORTION. YES, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A THREAT OF
ATTACKS FROM TERRORISTS, BUT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR
REPUBLICAN PARTY, IT WILL BE A LONG TIME UNTIL WE ARE
FREE OF THAT THREAT. GO DEMOCRATS. CLEAN UP THEIR MESS.

Chalk another one up for Obama. He was right about the Repugs using the politics of fear and division. YUCK!

Be afraid America! Be really afraid. John McCain is the only one who can save us all from spectacular destruction. What a spectacular bunch of BS.

Hey McBomb! Ya'all got any Intel. to back up your claim?
McBush=McJoke
Another Moron

McCain is a serious loser. He is a desperate man. The only way he stands a chance is if the American electorate is scared to death. He is only thinking of his own ambition, which is have a day to pop 2 Viagra and inspect his troops.

If you pull all the muscle out of Iraq all these sneeky, slippery varmits will fight to get to take it over. Then we would just have to go back. Again and again. And those costs could finish the economy of this country.
And since no one is smart enough or cares enough in this country to get us on a track to oil independence we are going to need Iraq for a very long time, Like it or not.

I wonder if McCain will now throw himself under the bus like he did an adviser of his, 'Black', for saying the same thing…wouldn't this also be considered a flip-flop?

mccain/gramm-fools

Gramm, dismantled the Depression-era walls that separated the financial activities of commercial banks, investment banks and the insurance industry. He also slipped the infamous "Enron loophole" into law, allowing energy futures to be traded without federal oversight. Various investigations of the Enron collapse have pointed to this loophole as crucial to Enron's manipulation of the California energy market, which provoked an energy crisis in the state in 2000 and 2001.

Wishful thinking for McCain; especially now that Obama is overseas.

McCain is a rotten person and is shows 100%.

ANYTHING TO STAY IN IRAQ…..I THING THE REPUBS WILL CREATE AN ATTACK TO ACCOMPLICH THERE GOALS……

GO OBAMA……….

Remember back before 911, European newspapers were calling USA, the bully nation and Bush, the bully president. This horrible tragedy happened, and many innocent people suffered because of this nation's flawed foreign policy, bullying tactics and awry worldview.

Our worldview regarding the rest of the world is, do it our way and our way is the best, or we are going to blow you to smithereens.

How many Americans have talked with people around the world regarding their opinions of this nation? They despise Americans and abhor Bush. History proves repeatedly, that warring begets wars.

We need to re-examine our thinking in regards to the rest of the world and our place in it. Gobally, we are also viewed as the planet's pigs as we consume more than our share of resources and this builds resentments.

People….would you please use your tiny itsy bitsy little brains and read tha article and the quote.

I don't blame you entirely since CNN as usual has shown their bias in the way they reported this story.

He is not trying to use "fear" to scare you for the November Elections in this country. He is talking about Iraq and the Iraqi elections that are upcoming. That is why he said it would "attempt to weaken support for the Malaki government"

He is not suggesting the terrorists are going to try to attack and you should fear them because of the November election.

He is making a foreing policy statement that although things have improved by 500% in Iraq since the surge of troops he requested were actually sent in (I figured I would let you know things are much much better in Iraq as well since CNN refuses to report any of that as well) and he is stating that there is still work to be done to maintain a civil environment over there and that the terrorists will try to SCARE THE IRAQI people into changing their governments.

It would have been nice if CNN could have written an articulate article about this rather than misleading you easily misguided obamabots.

The fact is, the republicans keep using this tactic, because it keeps working. For some reason, republicans go for the same thing every 4 years. Call an American born citizen, anti-American, and they buy it. Call a christian, a muslim, they buy it. Wow, They can make anyone one look bad. They seem to be using a two pronged attack. They are attacking Obama and the Democratic House of Reps.

Well, thanks to you and the Bush administration there would be could be another terror attack. Just because McCain has "so called "predicted this attack or served in the military; doesn't mean that he is qualified to be Commander and Chief. When he went along with President Bush on attacking Iraq who had no connection to 911, this should tell the American people that he can't make good, moral, sound decisions on his own. He is President Bush's lap dog!

Run for your lives, the terror alert status has been elevated from neon orange to hot pink!!!

Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy?

I get a strange feeling that some of the comments from "former hillary supporters for mccain" are professionally written. Look at the quality of the other comments, then look at them. Hmmm, copy and paste from your retardlican resource site?

If your republican and you can't tell McCain is firing up the fear mongering then your even dumber then the president you elected…twice…

My terror comes from watching how my democratic party devolved into a party of name-calling, vitriolic, insulting pawns for Obama.

The hatred hurled at fellow democrats and at the far better candidate of the party- created a wound that nothing will heal.

Only a return to democratic ideals of fair campaigns, counting the votes, equality and justice for all will heal this divide.

Only Hillary Clinton can put us back together again.

Give us Lady Liberty and take away your socialist puppet.

Are you people really going to vote for a junior Senator with limited experience and radical/racist connections. Give me a break.

oh no !the surge hasnt worked?oh ,it has. but,it wont last,because mccain still needs one issue to keep troops in iraq to protect republican oil profits.

McCain has officially lost it. He can't say anything good about himself or his party so he makes up stories of fear and makes up lies against Obama to scare ignorant people around this country into voting for him. This is the same way that the miserable failure that is George W. Bush won. Be smarter America…don't let this type of politics fool you into voting for McBush.

Obama is the smart and visionary leader that our country needs.

McCain is a hypocrite and fear monger that will do and say anything to get the ignorant vote.

Vote Obama!

bla bla bla is he still talking

RKS
If we get bombed again can we blame it on GB like you did the first one on Clinton, isn't that how it works?

Iraq is not an American state or territory much less protectorate? Last time I check, McCain and Bush started this WAR. So what if there is any terrorist attack, there are happening every day. Is this another tactic of telling us VOTE for Bush because you will be attack? There are terrorism everyday in IRAQ, Afghanistan and other places around the World. In the case of Iraq this is the 8 time there seem to be a morf into another reason why we should be there. WMD, Saddam, Stability in the region, Surge, and many more. It is amazing, if Americans believe this madness we deserve nothing better. FEAR is all the Republicans have at the end of the day. You cannot elect any leader base on fear, McCain has not track record of doing good for anyone except campaign finance for himself, which really didn't amount to much either.

LOOSER CAIN!

REPUBLICANS, STOP TRYING TO WIN THE ELECTION WITH FEAR!

Americans are SICK of it.

Obama '08

Geez,and I thought Bush was a dolt.

Yeah if you and your fear mongongering, warmongering ,profit making buddiesmake it happen.

Impeach Bush now!

If we have succeeded why can't we now have a schedule of troop withdrawals so that our soldiers can come home? McBush is a pandering fool.

John McFear ought to be ashamed of himself! What will he say next.?In 2000, I felt sorry for him because of how he was treated by George W. Bush . I wonder who is whispering sweet little nothings in McCain's ears. Is it Charlie Black or is it Karl Rove? Maybe both of them?

Of course there will be a terrorist attack. Unfortunately, it will be this administration that will 'allow' it.
Anyone betting that it will be sometime around November,
THESE PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING TO STAY IN POWER!

McCain, Why don't you just go to bed and sleep off the hangover you are experiencing or are you just having a bad nightmare? Just what in the hell are you trying to put over on the people. You are trying the same old Bush tatics - SCARE - SCARE - SCARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't have a chance in November why waste any more money just give what you have to the poor and needy in our country who really need it.

The hallmark of a terrorist is persuasion by fear.

Sometimes we become more similar to what we are against if we lack self-knowledge. If we continue to live in denial and pride about our own culpability, we become perpetrators ourselves and compound the problem. When will it end?

We "have succeeded" in Iraq Johnny Boy? So, mission accomplished, right?

If the democrats had not pushed the unqualified leftist Obama and installed him as nominee- with no experience, track record or accomplishments… WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS JAM NOW.

We would be way ahead in the polls with a VALID, respected, trusted, tested, loved, experienced, qualified, accomplished CANDIDATE- Hillary R, Clinton.

To fix a primary is to lose your way and is sure to lose the election.

The democrats blew this one BIG time. I want to throw up to think of the sleazy dirty divisive politics that Obama played just to make his premature grab for the white house.

fear mongering again.
shut up mccain.

More fear mongering and yet after billions and billions of dollars the one responsible for the attack, Osama Bin Laden, hasn't been captured. Why would we want someone like McCain in the White House. It will be more fear mongering and allowing Bin Laden stay hidden in the mountains of Pakistan.

I'm sick and tired of this do nothing administration and voting McCain in office will be more of the same.

Don't vote with fear. Voters, please think logically and think about all the issues before you before you cast your vote Are you better off now than 8 years ago? I'm not. I still can't find a job and the news is filled with fear just to keep you off balance.

Patricia

This is really becoming embarrasing for this country. This man wants to head our government?

Even if this wasn't his idea, he has surrounded himself with people that can come up with this stuff and he's buying it as a way to try to win. First "We've succeeded" then "The terrorists are coming, the terrorists are coming!" So, John, tell me…..are they coming by land or by sea and…where's your lantern?

Unbelievable and sad. Sir, you've lost all credibility.

Obama plans to take a lesson from the French…just throw up your hands and surrender.

Lets see……we have succeeded, but we haven't defeated our enemy……the Bush tax cuts were wrong, but we need to make them permanent……I'm against off shore drilling, but we need to start drilling off shore…….Afghanistan is not a problem, but we need to send more brigades there……we will leave Iraq if we are asked to do so by the Iraq government, but we will be there for a hundred years…..it seems to me that McCain is in the middle of some sort of mental crisis. The term "melt down" comes to mind.

Oohhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm afraid. I was going to vote for Barack, but now I'm so scared, I think I'll vote for McSame–NOT.

Go home John, your scare tactics will never work.

So, will we bring troops home when we start having "spectacular" terrorist attacks here at home?

We're just teaching the terrorists how to thin out our defenses. Attack in the US, more troops leave the US. How about defense here at home. What will people say when the next big one came from an illegal entrant crossing from the Canadian border in North Dakota on some back country road?

Or some group here… Tim McVeigh, OK City, was the deadliest terror attack on the US before 9/11.

it will be fine with me, if McSame=McBush=McViagra doesn't plan his "spectacular bombing" here in the US to favor the Republican. McCain please limit your bombing to Iraq, We're used to it.

John Bush McCain promised America and her brave troops that the Iraq War would only last six months and only cost one million dollars. How'd that work out?

Only Obama can make and keep America free, safe, and prosperous

John McCain will sure know better since he sees terrorist threats while watching the internet or mall walking…. is this guy a joke or a joker? We are not going to fall for the same Bush McCain fear hawking strategies. When he gets an answer to the viagra/birth control questions, i listen to him

What is going on? I don't understand his stance on the war in Iraq. He said that we have succeeded but there are going to be terrorist attacks. Please Senator make up your mind. He has the nerve to say that Obama flip flops. wow

McCain is just out of control: talk about "flip-flopping", he changes his tune on EVERY issue EVERY day!! Yesterday, we were glorious victors triumphant over all the evil terrorists in Iraq. And, now, today we are running scared again???

Maybe McCain forgot to talk to "one of history's greatest generals", Petraeus, before declaring victory yesterday, or something…..

And now what 's all this about speculating whether Obama is a "socialist." Johnny Boy: You have NO idea what a "socialist" is. Nothing that Obama proposes on his most extremely progressive days is even in the same hemisphere as "socialism". Good Lord, are we really back in 1960??

What world is this man living in?? Does he think we the people are so stupid to fall for the same old Republican party line again and again and again? If we have been sooo successful in Iraq, then why would we anticipate another terror attack, unless of course, that is his fervent wish! I am so sick of the Republican party right now, it almost brings me to tears. I pray nightly that the majority of Americans will recognize how misguided and corrupt the Republican party has become and cast their vote for Barack Obama in November. We did a change of course desperately and hopefully President Obama will lead us in the right direction.

Grandpa McSame….that says it all.

Yes to all above about the 'success has been achieved' and 'acts will occur',
ALSO. another contradiction >>>in (logic)
Will they only 'attempt' these attacks or do 'what they are capable of'?
This man tries to sit on every fence.
Also, is this when the payments from the splurge run out? McCain is not the first to predict hostilities will resume. It's already been widely speculated the violence will resume when the bribe money stops flowing, (flowing to where BTW)??? What if the splurge money is being used to fund an attack on America? It is possible, there was no track of where the splurge money went, Pakistan for sure.
Notice violence in Afghanistan increased just after the terrorists were paid to slow down in Iraq? hmmm???
(new motto, don't negotiate with terrorists when you can pay them off!?)

Yesterday you said we succeeded in Iraq- what happened?

America? We are witnessing a man coming totally unglued.

Some say the scare tactics won't work. If you think that scare tactics won’t work, then you are giving the American people too much credit. Americans put Bush in office twice. It's possible that these same people haven't learned anything. There are terrorists living among us and they are registered to vote. They will condemn this entire country because of there lack of resolve to comprehend information directly in front of their faces. We have to keep telling people the truth about our present condition and how we got here. It doesn't matter if you are a conservative Republican or a liberal Democrat. Voting for McCain would not be the best thing for this Country. You might not believe in everything Obama stands for, but to continue with the same old mentality would be a deadly blow against America.

fear, fear, fear

attack, attack, attack in your campaign.

What a minute - how is he NOT like Bush again?

kkkarl rove is back!

Yes, they will be bombing in Iraq only because they do not want McCain to win. That is what he has said months ago and he just repeated. He is taking personal credit for terrorist attacks in Iraq if I'm understanding this foolish statement correctly. What a moron!

As long as he's propped up for national media consumption, who cares if he makes sense. Just give us the sound bite of the day, McParrot. We'll rationalize whether it's a snow job.

From what I'm hearing it's a blizzard.

You can't blow up troops that aren't there.

THIS MAN'S MINDSET IS ALL ABOUT WAR, TERRIOST, AND FLIP-FLAPPING…..COME ON MCCAIN…THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION CREATED THESE SAME TERRORIST YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BY INVADING THEIR COUNTRY…..STOP WITH LIES…

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THE TRUTH…THIS WAS BUSH & CHENEY'S WAR….OIL, OIL, OIL,OIL,OIL………………………….

I think you PUMA people are nothing but a bunch of Republican hacks! I don't believe anyone who voted for Clinton could possibly be as stupid as you seem to be! Please stop with the idiotic statements and shouting. PLEASE! Obama didn't steal anything! He ran a better campaign and engaged the voters. That's how you win elections. Enough said!

Stop it, Stop it, Stop It McBush!! Like I have said before I am not your friend. If you say my friends again I think I will scream. I can not stand 4 years of hearing my friends as every other word.

I just can't believe that a man who hadn't realized that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country can make predictions that terrorists will attack us again. After all it was the republicans that used 9/11 to scare people into not voting for a sensible democrat. This is just more fear tactics they are using hoping we will all roll over and play dumb while they send more and more troops off to combat. We need to be smart with who we choose. Washington said that parties would tear this nation apart and he was right. How about you quit trying to scare us and actually give us solutions. Obama 08.

I can't believe that people would elect a leader based on fear of a terror attack. I think there would be a greater chance of getting struck by lightning.

There will be an attack in Iraq only if McBomb is elected. This is just fear fear and more fear. Wake up Americans aren't we tired of the same old same old?

BARACK:
PUMA's resue McShame he is such an IDIOT
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

mccain is the only terrorist i fear,once bush/cheney are gone.

Does this ring a bell when Bush said "God advise me to go to war with Iraq", Now yesterday Mccain was saying " we have succeeded in Iraq. Not 'We are succeeding" , The defintion of success is favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors. If what he said yesterday is true why is he preditcting 'spectacular' terrorist attack in iraq?, I think this old man is losing it or playing fearmonger tactics that the republicans used for the last eight years.

Well McCain sucks.

Obama is just as bad- AND he stole the nomination.

I will vote against Obama just to preserve the freedom and fairness and democracy of our primary process. That is the greatest offense- to cheat, threaten, race-bait and strong-arm your way to the presidency.

That is NOT the precedent we want the newbies to set.

NO TO OBAMA- that is a certain.

I was at ground zero for the recovery, I saw the same body bags that we used in the Nam, with the same contents I saw coffee cups on the desks in the same position the day the side of a building came down. a ghostly wind was in that place the site of the firemen looking with that 1k yard stare I will never forget I saw it all before. Have we as a people forgotten in our blogosphere rambles and insults. I have a candidate but neither do I care what the bloggs spew this is not the world I choose to leave to my children. Our enemies are few but ruthless willing to sacrifice their children to kill the many of our people as they can whether demo. repub. lib etc less we forget and I know osama kind are out there in the darkness of their shadowy hatreds May we never forget 9/11 never forget or it will visit for certain….

See? The republicans have realized that continuing the arrogant war in Iraq is just that sheer arrogance at the cost of precious american lives - Now they and McSame are very subtly trying to retreat and agreeing with Obama using different words. VERY COWARDLY OF MCSAME! They have realized it is time to focus on the 'real' national security threats and issues like tying down Afghanistan, attacking the terrorists in their 'real' territory and catching bin laden. Obama has been on top of it all this time, as usual the Bush/McSame administration are too slow WISE AMERICANS, its is up to you now!

Obama '08

yeah…maybe Hitler is planning to launch an attack as we speak , my friends

This must be the October surprise that GW and McBush have been promising us. Wow. And you want this guy in the Oval Office?

It never fails. Fall behind in some polls and cry that we will all die if I am not elected. A disgrace.

I hope Americans don't fall for the fear mongering of the Republicans this year. It is obvious McCain will say or do anything to win!

Brilliant. By predicting these terorist attacks McCain makes another "bring 'em on" comment like Bush's, that will predictably increase terorist activity. Even Bush learned from this and later expressed his regret. And if we have already won in Iraq, why are we staying indefinitely? And if the terrorist attacks may be escalated in the fall, why does he claim have we won?

Whatever qualifications McCain claims to have in foreign policy are belied by this Alice in Wonderland approach to Iraq.

LISTEN UP PEOPLE, MCCAIN AND ALL HIS SUPPORTERS, THE EVIL HATEIFUL CONSERVATIVE, ALL OF FOXS NEWS CABLE CHANNELS, FOOLS, FOOLS, FEARMONGERS, THEY'RE AFFAIRD OF THE WARTH THAT WILL BE COMING DOWN ON THEM FOR ALL THEIR AND HATE OF SEN. OBAMA WHEN HE BECOMES THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA, AND RIGHTFULLY THEY SHOULD BE AFFRAID. (WE WILL NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS OT THIS TIME FEAR MONGERS, GO TO CHURCH OR SOME WAY AND PRAY FOR YOUR WICKED SOUL OF HATE TOWARDS THIS MAN.
IT IS WRITTEN. HE WILL GO TO THE WHITE IN 08.

And McCain wasn't going to be an extension of Bush. Interesting to see things have not changed - the fear/terrorism factor is increasing as an election comes up. Same old thing.

McCain predicts 'spectacular' terror attempts in Iraq
Posted: 01:48 PM ET

well it must be true…McCain is the expert. i am glad that it is going to be "spectacular" and not just a run of the mill attack….McCain is sooooo Y2K.

@LINDA….thank you for your comment. welcome i know you don't love Obama, but look at the alternative

THIS OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN IS SUFFERING FROM A DISEASE WELL KNOWN TO PEOPLE AT McCAIN'S AGE. GEORGE BUSH TALKED A LOT DURING THE LAST 8 YEARS AND WE GOT NOTHING BUT DISASTER FOR AMERICAN AT LARGE AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE SAME APPLIES TO THIS OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN. HE IS OLD, HIS IDEAS ARE OLD, HIS POLICIES ARE OBSOLETE, AS A LIFE TIME REPUBLICAN THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO CHANGE THIS OLD MAN.
JUST WAIT AS SEE WHEN THIS OLD MAN JOHN McCAIN WILL RETIRE.
GOOD LUCK.

that's it mcbush scare the hell out the stupid people who thinks that they should care what you have to think. those people have been killing each other for centuries, and all of a sudden when bush takes office, and he wants his hands on the oil, they should stop. even when we leave they are going to be killing each other.

Fear mongoring at it's best. If the surge has been successful as he states then there will be no action. It is time to send this man back to the Senate, not the White House.

the American people very easily get scared with republican faremongering,

This is hands-down the craziest, wierdest Presidential Election in US history.

One candidate who knows so much, that he doesn't know what's fact and what's fiction.

And one candidate who knows so little, that he doesn't know what's fact and what's fiction.

Another move by politicians (both sides of the aisle), the media, and corporations to continue to generate fear under the 'guise' of terror.
The ultimate goal is for all Americans to be conned into giving up their rights and freedoms.
Just wait, Iran is next. A false flag event will probably happen in a year or so, in order to make it an easy decision to invade. Our country has done it before (i.e. gulf of tonkin, the lusitania sinking etc). Enjoy!

Maybe the Iraqis could start making cigarettes to ship to Iran. and the Iranians could supply nuclear power plants to Iraq so that we can have Iraq's oil.

why is everyone on here an obama supporter? Just the mere sound of obama's voice makes me wanna puke.

What a sleazy, no good rotten to the core fear mongor!

This is the man that Republicans call hero, straight talker, upstanding.
Bologna! He's a scare tactic toad.
and he is to old and depraved to be POTUS.
Disgusting.

have we succeeded or not?you are hoping they make more attacks ,so you will have an excuse to keep our troops over there to protect bush's oil fields.we are getting out ,anyway.

Is anyone keeping track of McCain's statements on Iraq on a daily basis? It's like he gets up in the morning and picks a random stance to go with for the day. His statement just yesterday is completely unreated to his statement today. I try to keep up with the news, and I try to stay current on the candidate's positions, but I just cannot keep up with McCain's rotating and random positions on Iraq anymore.

Time to go to tried-and-true GOP playbook….FEAR. Nice.
Go away, grandpa.

"Heads I win - tails you lose" - that's McCain's logic. If violence increases . . . McCain will argue that need for troops is even higher. And if violence decreases . . . McCain will argue that large troop numbers = success, and therefore we must keep large troop numbers stuck in Iraq. Either way . . . he's always for a huge and expensive military commitment. There's no end to this with someone like McCain.

America needs to face a blunt ugly truth - no matter what happens in Iraq . . . even if Muslims are absolutely slaughtering themselves into extinction . . . America should yank its troops out. As an American, I'm not interested in saving the bacon of either Iraqis or Israelis. And I don't believe either side is crucial to U.S. security either. Let them live . . . or die . . . on their own.

It frightens me that there are so many Americans who seem to be so uneducated and they will be participating in the election process to pick our next president. Of course there is still danger in the middle east and there are those who wish us harm and will stop at nothing to inflict pain and misery upon the US and its citizens. There is a reason that we have not been attacked since 9/11. McCain has the experience and the knowledge to protect our country and citizens. Obama lives in a dream world. His election could be the end of our safe America as we know it. I hope all of you young people who support him will not mind then fighting to protect your country perhaps within our own borders.

mcbush needs the attention but 100 years in Iraq??? keep troops there when Iraq is telling us to get out???? CAN ANYONE ANYWHERE GIVE US ONE GOOD THING TO COME OUT OF THE MCBUSH ERA??? Just give me one–like a little old lady did such and such???? mcbush says to not talk with our enemies which really help build bridges of peace, what does he now say that bush is trying to talk with iran?????? of what a tangle war we weave once bush decided to deceive.

All McCain can say is one word - friend and may be other word-war.
Get him out. Attach the same approval rating of 30% to this old man.

To be a success, by definition, there should be no room for improvement. I guess then, McCain would agree to the troops coming home, but we all know how he feels about that. McCain is participating in Orwellian propaganda, telling us black is white. And if you all rememeber the documentary Loose Change, it concerns me that McCain is calling for terrosit activities before an election, something which polotical analysts speculate would help his bid for the white house. It all reminds be of Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' boat ride… If so, why the hell are we still there?

Fear, terror, and warmongering is the best this "accidental candidate" and his party have to offer.
Anyone who STILL believes this fodder is worse off than McCain.
Attention Keith Olbermann: can you please call this man out???

scare tactics here we go again

Next, he'll be dressing up in costumes and jumping our of closets.

Not going to work this time. I'm sure GW, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are still laughing about the fact that they conned Americans into re-electing them. George will still be THE WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY. Laugh at that.

Obama 08

he need to stop the fear monger

We have succeeded… and therefore we can look for new spectacular terror attacks.

John McCain must have a different idea of "success" than the rest of the world does…

I think someone should tell this man to just shut -up. Between him and his campaign I think they want something to happen to us or our troops.Talk about flip-fopping ,last week we were succeeding (much like mission accomplished) now we need to stand ready for terrorist .We will never be succeeding as long as we have one American being killed on foreign soil. Obama 08

Connie from indiana

I think McCain is correct. All you libs can just continue to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya". God forbid, if that pathetic Obama wins the election, we WILL be attacked again-on American soil since he will pretend we have no real enemies and that "talk" is the answer. I remind you that Bill Clinton did the same, which led to 9/11.

McCain yesterday said we succeeded in having iraqis take over basra, sadr city and mosul but said al queda is still trying attacks to destabilize the government. Stop taking McCain out of context and cutting his comments. Hillary said the same thing how al queda tested the new leadership in the UK when Gordon Brown first took over. Every article is taking McCain out of context. McCain is constantly having open town halls where he is speaking to the american public.

McCain is constantly talking to the reporters on his bus and plane while Obama doesn't. Obama doesn't take questions from the audience while McCain did even at the NAACP where Obama refused to take questions. Obama won't have an open town hall event with McCain at Fort Hood. The media loves Obama so much they don't point out how much of a bubble he is in.

All McCain is saying is that terrorists are opportunists, and will most likely up the anti during the elections to get attention or ude opportunities.

You Obama supporters are very quick to denounce McCain.

Instead, why don't you denounce Obama for acting like the rock star that he is, as the president of the US which he is not, for his upcoming trip to Europe and the Middle East.

His arrogance knows no bounds.
My greatest wish is to see him lose in Nov…..for him to learn a little humility.

No to Obama.

Since when does McCain know what is going in Iraq ? He barely knows what is going on in the US. The violence will go down if the Iraqis know their unwelcome guest is finally leaving. If you had a guest that refused to leave would you do anything that would cause them to stay? McCain and the Neo Cons don't realize that the world already sees them for the idiots that they are.

John McCain, says he is better on foreign policy, but to me he seems to be behind on the curve. Obama is calling for things that need to be done months before, McCain. Now the Bush Administration is negotiating with anyone that will talk to them. (ha) Meanwhile, John McCains continues, with the psychological policies and gimmicks. The GOP is also running a smear campaign against the democratic congress. No one in the media will point out that the senate is 60% republican, and the republicans are responsible for the deregulation in the mortgage and stock markets, that caused this mess.

Bad move for the McCain camp that has already complained about being low on cash.
Now he will have to spend more cash he doesn't have in an effort to fabricate actual terror attempts and build fear in the ignorant portion of the country….at least that's how Bush would do it.

PUMA people are really closet Rove Robots! If not, they would actually have a brain!

mcsame!! the fear!!

Okay Johhny, if we have succeeded, can we please get out then?

Wow, did you go to Madam Clair for that one?

Isn't there a terror attack every few days, what the heck kind of prediction is that?!

ARB July 18th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Greg…..there's always gonna be terrorists in Iraq….we could stay over in Iraq for 100 years like Mccain said and i guarantee that we still would not have killed them all.

Fine, and I agree, but 'we've succeeded!'

Ahhh! My head is like a pretzel. There's a pretzel in my head!
