This must be a result of his proven record of winning wars….what? no proof? But that's what he keeps telling us. What exactly gives McCain more experience in foreign affairs? knowing about the split of Checkoslovakia? Knowing the difference between Sunni and Shiia? Knowing the border to Pakistan is Afghanistan and not Iraq? Knowing that the Anbar region was not settled due to the surge? This guy is a joke and way too many believe what he says. I believe that is because we all respect him for what he sacrificed during the Vietnam War. However, that does not make him qualified to run a country. I want our respect to regain worldwide what it used to be. There is no way that McCain can do that for us if he cannot even get it right what country Putin was president of.

What war did he win? Was he in WW1 or WW2? Why does he keep saying that he knows how to win wars? The only thing that turned things around in Iraq was the paying of over 100,000 militiamen to fight for our side instead of against us. Miss one paycheck and they'll turn against the US again.

We would not be in Iraq if congress had not voted for it.

If we are going to Impeach Bush for the war, then why not the members of congress who voted for it?????

Why not Impeach McCain and Clinton for helping to kill our people????????????????

McCain is not someone who can be trusted with anything given his position changes for pure political gain. If McCain believe he could win Muslim vote by giving a presidential pardon to Osama Bin Laden he will.

Oh my Johnny, weren't you involved in the Trial at Nuremburg? Oh wait; that was Spencer Tracy. The old man, confused, white hair thing threw me.

In earlier News McCain claimed that Obama has bad judgment when it comes to foriegn affairs and this war but yet again, he Parrots Obama who said this already, last month.

An International Court… nowadays… would not sanction execution….. So McCain is saying he would not kill Bin Laden!

Nice job with your flip-flop, John McCain. Senator McCain's position on Nuremberg like trials for Osama bin Laden is a complete flip flop from his previous position on the issue.

http://strategy08.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/obama-wanted-nuremberg-trials-mccain-attacked-now/

Mcsame, all you talk about is WAR. you poor thing you have no idea what is happening to americas' economy. that is the reason you keep talking about war. because you are illiteraite when it comes to the economy. we can see through you. you blind old bat. and you never gonna get a chance on catching ben la din. you.could not even catch a fly. shame on you

Oh yes, let'f follow McCain-Bush and let 10,000 of our men and women die as a result of another stupid dictator.

Why can't we should the world that we have a brain.. War Crimes is not enough for Bush McCain he supported the War..

WHAT!!!!! Treat the head figure of terrorism in a law enforcement manner? McCain is very confused on the proper use of Republican talking points.

YOUR COLUMN IS AWAITING MODERATION FOR BIAS

Obama said that osama would face nuremberg- like justice…man mccain is saying everything that obama has said before

Bush officially stopped looking for bin Laden years ago. McCain's only using him for a prop.

Hey sami - so when John MCSURGE was in Canada, Mexico, Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia, England, Germany and France just a short while ago did you fee the same way you moron? He visited the exact same places that Obama has but because the WORLD loves Obama and mccain didn't get as much media attention or attention from the foreign leaders it's wrong?????? Get a real life you disillusioned repuglican!

Rhetorical question. Of course they would put him on trial.

The real question is why we HAVE NOT captured him. Why is that question being demanded instead? We spend $10 B for a questionable war in Iraq, while Bin Laden is running around free.

DEAR SENIOR RETIRED CITIZEN"
YOU HAVE AMAZING POWERS OF CRYSTAL BALL,FORTUNE TELLING AND READING OTHER PEOPLES MINDS…
YOUR SHOW REALLY BELONGS IN LAS VEGAS

To; Brain

Mccain has made so many gaffes that the media can't keep up with, so they just let it go, I suppose.

Most of it is funny. Mccain's campaign is about attacking Obama or saying something really stupid, basically. Enjoy the ride!

If McSame is elected President, ole Bin is safe for another 4 years!!!!!!
McSame has time and time again backed the Fuherer and his policies and to this day continues to back them. These policies are not to go after Ole Bin - remember the Fuherer a short time ago saying he is not important??? And McSame is following his policies - therefore Ole Bin is safe.

I actually sat down and listened to John McCain telling Wolfe Biltzer he knows how to capture Osama Ben Ladin, like don't know Oh pardon me I said I I meant like we all do not not know he is a liar. He worked so close to George Bush and I cannot imagine he would give that bit of secret to him at least to boost his presidential approval rating, that is not being loyal at all. What does Jonh McCain think we are all stupid… This is another clear act of insulting voters intelligence, don't you think?

Those are very good questions, CNN! I like that. Now ask Senator Obama what his favorite color is… LOL!

It's McCain's Iraq comment here that is really stupid. Claiming he has enough influence to persuade the Iraqi leadership and its people that he can set up permanent bases. Get Real!

Doesn't really matter as nobody has yet been close to finding him since his name first came up during the Clinton years.

Comments are closed on other forums, so I'll say my piece here. I just about fell out of my chair laughing at you ignorant, ranting, Obamite bratts and your comments regarding McCain's improvements in the polls. You truely are a pathetic bunch.

Meanwhile, the useless Democrats in Congress led by the Umpa Lumpa Kucinich bring up impeachment of Bush again. Bush brought down the price of oil by lifting the executive ban on drilling off the coast. The moron Harry Read tried to take credit for it! Congress has done zip! Skeletor Nancy Pelossi will not allow a vote on off-shore drilling. The Democrats will do anything, including continuing our suffering at the pump, to make a political point.

This is what McSurge has said at every meeting this week while Obama was been welcomed by the world, about the Economy, Foreign Affairs, Energy, Environment, Education, Abortion:
SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE
SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE
SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE
SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE
SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE

He know nothing! Not even when the SURGE even began. If he had good judgment about Iraq like Obama there would not be any need for a SURGE.

So if John McCain promised that we'd pull out of Iraq in a year, would you Dems still act like he's the "World's enemy"?

These crimes were committed on U.S. soil against U.S. Citizens and I take offense at John McCain's willingness to abrogate the U.S.'s right to try Osama bin Laden according to our system of justice and on our terms.

Hippocrate says, "what……."?
McCain talks a lot of smack when his opponent is out of the country. And for some reason, we all have (Thanks to the news, uh hum, CNN, FOX) forgotten he did the exact same thing Obama did when he got the nomination. But let's forget that and pick on the confident guy who's making his country beloved and looking presidential. I rather have that that some guy complaining at every chance he gets because CNN is not kissing his tush (which I've noticed they have started doing now).
No back bone CNN, or should I say FOX…? JACK SAVE YOUR NETWORK!!

If McCain knows how to capture bin Laden and bring him to justice, why hasn't he shared this information with anyone? What is he waiting for? What if he isn't elected? Will he keep this plan to himself?

sami…….thats a joke, right?

Selective Reporting July 25th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

"Why won't CNN report how John Edwards just gotiat busted for sleeping around behind his sick wife's back?"

Wow "Selective", maybe you should "select" a more reputable news source other than the National Enquirere since it was they who reported this tripe. I bet you believe martians live next door to you and Elvis is still alive also.

must be Mc Cain fans CNN. I have a naughty word for you

hey, wait a minute, where was the first one??? CNN???

for the love of God, give it up with the "senile old man" crap. The people who make those charges are the same ones who go crazy when somebody reminds the world about barack's middle name. Its baseless attacks like these that make politics in this country an absolute joke. McCain knows what he's doing when it comes to foreign affairs. he's done basically nothing else with his life in the senate. Barack conversely has done absolutely nothing but vote against funding for the troops.

NOBAMA NO-SOCIALISM.

Rise Hilary rise and meet your destiny! Bin Laden is not the only one whom will face the great trials of the Lady President. Oh yes, you shall not escape her mighty wrath!!!

Murphy

sorry, typo

McCain has reiterated these points before. But who wants to hear them. Repubs have driven us into the ground. Obama will take care of Bin laden if we ever catch him…Iraq is nonsense. I for one have boys of the age that may get drafted if that is what it comes to…;NO THANKS

and so should Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove and the rest of the henchmen…..

Hopefully GWB and his cronies will be in the next courtroom over, also receiving justice for their many crimes.

In this interview McLiar swore that he would capture Bin Laden. Is there nothing this liar will not say. He says he will capture Bin laden because he knows the area. He knows the area yet he speaks of the Non existant Iraq Pakistan Border. McFlip then says he would withdraw from Iraq. He has always stated in the past that He would stay in Iraq like we are in Korea and Germany, permanantly. That is so unpopular that now he speaks of withdrawal. Last but not least. McIdiot says that if he is elected 'HE' will immediatly move the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Excuse me McIdiot. Israel is a sovereign nation! They may move their capitol, you may not,can not.

man mcwar go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to throw McCain a big fat softball CNN, I'm sure they really appreciate it

Why capture bin-laden and waste a tax money on a stupid trial for a cold blooded killer thats already guilty when a laser guided bomb can do the job easy. i mean you should know the John

"I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about (bin Laden)"

– George Bush, the president who read "The Pet Goat" while hundreds of Americans died in our streets

I find it interesting that J. McCain would have bin Laden in front of a Nurmeburg-style tribunal. That is precisely the kind of tribunal that G. Bush and members of his administration deserve to face.

i hear gitmo will be making room,soon.we can put bin laden next to bush and cheney and they can play video wargames together,while they serve their time.

It already exists! There is already an international criminal court. It would be great for the US to fully participate, and that would be a perfectly appopriate place to try Bin Laden if he's ever found (and potentially some of the others mentioned in other comments).

go home old!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Osama is caught it would be a disaster for the CIA if his testimony was public.

What ever happned to the other hi value x-CIA ops when they get "caught" after they part from the CIA?

For all we know Osama is already gone–definately marginalized.

The Islamic News Groups now support Tibetan Civil Rights in China–what does the Dalai Lama say about support from terrorists?

McSame is just trying to gain points for acting out the tough guy. When his hero Bush says "I don't think about him much, Bin Laden".

Buch of BS is what it is.

Have you seen Obama interviev - what a difference !!

When we catch him then we can decided what to do with him. Novel concept as it is to have something first and then decided what to do with it.

how about you catch bin laden first you moron!

What about your buddies BUSH & CHENEY shouldn't they be charged as WAR CRIMINALS? McCain, you are worse than BUSH, at least Bush can remember his criminal acts, you cannot remember your name on odd days.

No! No! No! No! Do not vote for John "The Oak McCain"… Your a Woman, and you deserve a Woman's voice in the White House.. No don 't vote for John McCain, Lady. Vote for his VP, - Hillary Clinton… Then you really have a Voice…. Think about it ladies…

While you are at it how about charging teh hate-Bush crowd with giving aid and comfort to the enemy

Thanks to Bush/McCain and their Iraq disaster Bin Laden's life has more resembled a Nuremberg Christmas Bazaar than it has a Nuremberg trial. Also, arguing over the surge is like calling for an instant replay on a touchdown in the last minute of a game when you're down by 40. Nothing can erase the Republcans' absolute failure to this country.

Obama '08

I am very concerned with McCain's obsession with Obama. Instead of talking about what is better for America and how we can end this economic issue, all I hear him is talk about Obama and the 'success' of the surge. This is an insult to the American people.
We are on the 21st century and we need people who are functioning in this time frame. We don't need to be feared. Rather we would like to be liked by others. There is a choice and I don't think McCain is helping us here.
I am Very disappointed by him.

I am getting sick of hearing about Isreal in these things. I thought this was the United States of America not the United States of Isreal. If Jewish people have so much of a concern about what happens in Isreal maybe they should go to Isreal and deal with the situation. Do not drag the United States into it.

You want to make people hate you in the world? Then keep getting involved in matters that do not concern you and continue to show unfair bias to a country that is not liked by its neighbors. I am constantly amazed when I hear the US on behalf of Isreal or Isreal itself complaining about UN Violations being committed by militant groups. MILITANT GROUPS ARE NOT PART OF THE UN!!! ISREAL AND THE US ARE BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP EITHER OF THEM FROM DOING THINGS THAT THE UN DEEMS ILLEGAL!! Jerusalem is to be under Jordanian Control and is to BE AN INTERN ATIONAL CITY!!! That was the UN's RULING!! Settlement activity is illegal and all claims of annexed regions have been deemed illegal by the UN.

We cannot expect others to obey the rules when we do not.

I will post this several times as nothing I ever post seems to make it past moderation.

He forgot to mention that we might have caught him already if we hadn't wasted our time in Iraq.

Sounds like McCain would rather wait instead of doing it now. Now who wants to win an election more than doing what is good for America?

Sick of listening to supporters of both candidates bicker at each other like children. Grow up everyone.

Neither Candidate '08

Joe in NJ… that's because Obama prefaced his comments with "… let me make this clear, we need to catch him first."

Joe in NJ:

McCain has been part of an establishment that had its chance since 911 to capture and punish Bin Laden. But instead McCain supported the invasion of Iraq and subsequently the placing of more men, material and effort in Iraq. Mccain supposedly had much more influence and say-so with this adminsitration to get its target right and to put more effort into capturing Bin Laden. Obama on the other hand was not afforded such influence. If elected President Obama will set the direction of this country straight and will put more effort into capturing and punishing Bin Laden. McCain is now promising to do the same but why was he not as adamant about getting it right in the last several years? Because he supported the poor executuon and decision-making of the Bush administration on terrorism and its lack of effort to capture and punish those responsible for 911. That's why McCain receives more criticismn for the BS who touts now.

Didn't McCain say last month that Bin Laden should be killed and not be privy to a trial? I guess CNN is too busy with their heads stuck up McCain's rear to notice another in a growing lists of his flip-flops.

Hey McCowboy! Ya Gonna use W's six shooters to corral ol' Bin laden?
Ya'll gonna borrow his 10 gallon hat too!!!??? I retcha you'll get him right on the Iraq/Pakistani border!!! My Hero!!!NOT

As for no more holocausts- -What do we have in Darfur?? A freakin'
tea party!!!???

PRINT THIS CNN

I would give Bin Laden a Guantanamo-like trial, and to Bush and Cheney a Nuremberg-like trial, that would be justice!

war
war
war
war

does he talk about anything else???

7 Years: NO BIN LADEN
Now McCain is talking about catching him??

"I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him." – George Bush, the president who read "The Pet Goat" while hundreds of Americans died in our streets

Didn't the Reich wing noise machine just have get through with a hissy fit because Obama said that if he captured bin Laden he would put him on trial??? I wonder if Hannity is going to devote an entire week's worth of "outrage" to McCain's statement?

He won't get my vote, but he isn't wrong on this one.

My plan for making him suffer is still up for grabs.

It seems to me that when Obama used the very same Nuremberg analogy in discussing a trial for bin-Laden, if we catch him, he was vilified by Republicans for it. Yet here's McCain suggesting the same thing a few weeks later. Stealing ideas from Obama seems like the Republican strategy these days since suddenly they're embracing timetables in Iraq, increasing diplomacy with Iran, and talking about troop increases in Afghanistan. I think they're hoping that no one notices that these were all strategies first suggested by Obama. Now McCain is stealing the Nuremberg trial analogy. They're really doing some original thinking on the Republican side these days.

…as long as Bush, Cheney, et. al. are in the ajoining courtrooms…. Support impeachment AND prosecution for high crimes and misdemeanors, and war crimes.

john "oil spill" mcCANE is too old to find bin laden.

For all the comments about our "Economy, OLD McCain, bin laden and McCain's love of war, etc……………………may I remind you that the only reason you are in a FREE country is because our brave soldiers fought many wars to give you that priviledge… that the war in Iraq has a reason - terrorists which would attack this country again given the chance… that the economy as in years past can and will comeback because we are the United States of America…BUT… if this country elects a President that will lower our security and try and win over Iran with TALK… we will not have to worry about any of this - because we will no longer be FREE.

Ask a friend that is now here from a country that gave them NO FREEDOM - I did…

GOD Bless America…..

My vote is still for the even-tempered, intelligent person. At least he doesn't spend all his time bashing everyone in the world.

He Thinks !!!!! And he is respectful and is respected.

Obama '08

Cnn: After making such a big deal of Obama leading by 4 in the headline of the blog and then 3 in the body, are you going to post that the polls today show him at + 5 and +6. Just "keeping you Honest"; "no bias, no "bull" .

Also after going on and on about the "big" states that Clinton won in the primaries, how about an blog showing how Obama is doing in these states.

Did Wolf ask you when you are going to Afghanistan since its been over two years and perhaps a visit to the Senate would be in order.

CNN likes to Censor!! Shame On You.. Post This!!

When all you have John is to question someone else on is "inexperience and knowledge" then your desperate. You have not put forth any substantive changes for America. You want more war, hence your comment. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran and then you chuckle as if it were some sort of joke!! John you can't even remember that Czechoslovakia ceases to exist and is now the Czech Republic (twice, nonetheless) You will veto beer. You have to be steadied by your nurse/wife Cindy by the elbow every time you walk down stairs or steps, because your unfit to be president.. You don't know what its like to have to pay for your own gas, go to the grocery store to buy the essentials. You are worth over $41 million John, talk about elitist. John please just retire and collect your social security (hope it's adjusted to a lower amount since you are in a high paying job!!) John I am from Arizona, a Native, born and raised, and you make me sad to be from Arizona!! Go back to where you came from and retire there!!!

Didn't Clinton have at least three shots at Bin Laden but was afraid to even try!!

McCain is a simple liar. And since CNN won;t do it's job, lets do it for them by checking McCain's own site archives.

Earlier this month when Barack Obama proposed bringing the "full weight" of "world justice" down on Bin Laden the McCain camp immediately jumped on the statement saying:

This may be the first time that Obama has spoken of "world justice." He has said before that he would provide bin Laden with a trial that meets "international standards of due process," and he's frequently invoked Nuremberg as a model for any trial. But what, precisely, is meant by "world justice" here is unclear. And if it means an internationally sanctioned trial, aren't the odds of an execution pretty slim?

Just like criticizing Obama for going overseas (McCain went to Canda and South America), McCain will lie about anything. Why can't the media simply check McCain's statements of today to his acts and statements of only the last month??? Why do they protect his lying to the American public?

someone should shoot bin Laden. Shoot down like the dog he is. He is nothing but dog meat if our soldiers catch him.

I suggest an ending for him like Adolph. I think bin Laden should commit suicide and the sooner the better.

I know he will not be alive if McCain is our president since McCain will put priority on catching him.

Watch ba rock. he will probably set him free or let him go to Kenya to spend his waning years.

McCain said he can win wars. He believes that and that is all he is interested in. The surge is all he talks about and he doesn't even concede that the surge is a tactic NOT a strategy for winning anything. mcCain is interested in nothing else: not the economy, not energy, not the environment, not women's issues. the problems of the poor or working poor. A vote for Mccain is a vote for war with Iran and more war in Iraq.

How the American people can vote for a bad tempered almost senile old man is beyond me. God help us!!!

stop giving all these errors

Bhutto flat out stated that Bin Laden is dead. You can watch her interview on youtube.

Will you also, John, bring Bush to a Nuremberg-style trial for his crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq, or is Nuremberg just for the "losers" and never for the "victors"?

Speaking of judgment, knowledge and experience: Grandpa has already told us he knows nothing about the economy. He voted to start the war in Iraq. And his 26 years experience in the Senate has helped get our country in the mess it's in today.

Explain to me Sen. McCain… WHAT war do you keep referring to that you KOW how to win? I don't recall you winning any war

AND

it's becoming very clear that ALL you seem to talk about is WAR. WAR. WAR, SURGE, SURGE, SURGE…and ATTACK Obama, ATTACK Obama, ATTACK Obama. Is that ALL you've got?

Jesus, WHAT ARE your solutions and concrete PLANS on fixing the economy, healthcare, gas prices, Afghanistan, Bin Laden, etc.
THESE are the topics that I want to know about and you just keep dicking and dodging the issues that are IMPORTANT to me and my family.

If elected Prisident, would he do the same of Bush?

McInsane is such a loser.

You gotta catch him first knucklehead!

We don't need another snotty / smirking / ex-fighter pilot jock in the WH.
(sounds McSame. Doesn't it?)

Go home Johnny. Stop wasting mine and your wife's money.

that simple eh??? you have to FIND HIM FIRST YOU MORON!!! not so simple for anyone over the last 7+ years!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08!! judgement and wisdom for America!!

To all those people talking about unfairness towards McCain in media coverage, I would like them to be aware of the instability of the concept of fairness. It seems to me that many perceive fairness as "equality" among parties. If so, I would like them to make explicit such conception of fairness to avoid confussion and miscommunication.
Concerning the comment of Wolf Blitzer's interview with McCain and the screen background, if the person making the comment believes "fairness" to mean "equality" among parties, then the only way I see his comment making sense is if he believes that the two cases he proposes would create the same effect as the one created during McCain's interview. It certainly does not mean same background, for he is arguing for different backgrounds; thus, same effect is the only thing that I can think of that he is aiming to be the "same" or "equal". Since his comment refers to the catastrophies in Iraq being showed next to McCain's image, I figure he finds that to be a negative effect of correlation between McCain and the images. His counter-example is for images of Rev. Wright and Michelle Obama, which according to him denote a kind of patriotism that he would like CNN to show. Consequently, the effect that he is refering to, considering what he writes, does not simply refer to a negative correlation, but one that is specifically related to the candidate in question. Since I do see a negative effect from the correlation between Obama and Rev. Wright (and am aware of how some people see Michellege Obama as unpatriotic, thus negatively), I find then that the person making the comment believes that the catastrophies in Iraq shown in the screen next to McCain are specifically related to McCain in the same way that Rev. Wright and Michellege Obama are specifically related to Obama. Perhaps, the person making the comment was actually referring to patriotism for both; if so, then he finds catastrophies in Iraq to denote a specific relation between McCain and those events patriotism? I am not sure. As I have shown, a person's words are often ambiguous and up for different interpretations.

HA! Good luck catching bin Laden, John! Nothing you've said/done so far shows that you would be able to accomplish this goal.

I hope you go with him McSame. You and Bush have cause as much loss of life as he has.

McCain is such a lame. He does and says what ever he has to to get the vote. Right now he is merely grasping at the air and begging the media "pay attention to me". " What about me?" What a wussy. I think he is a senile and out of touch old man and does not have the judgement or leadership to be commander and chief.

And I question McCain's real age. Senator McCain does the term Mesozoic Era mean anything to you?

OBAMA '08!!!

Jack,

McCain is stupid but it's taken you too long to figure it out. He is really stupid and ignorant and has no clue what is it that we're fighting in Iraq. He has no knowledge about the world, the only thing he cares is Israel and every other person in this globe is the enemy and we should fight it. That's as far as mcStupid knowledge goes.

Catch him.
Try him.
Punish him.

Don't forget — there are war criminals sitting in Washington D.C. as well. They deserve to be tried and punished as well. Catching them won't be difficult at all.

By the way, had we not taken our eye off of bin Laden and gone erroneously into Iraq, we probably would've caught him by now.
So, as it pertains to judgement, in whose judgement was it that we should go into Iraq, where bin Laden was not? McCain I think.
Who was against it? Obama.

*They* (Bush. Cheney. & McCain) know where Bin Ladin is. Can you say "October Surprise" ?

I'm noticing a huge imbalance in CNN's presidential race stories as well this week. If you've noticed that as well, send Cnn an email regarding the stories, areas of websites that seem to be off balance.

"SOrry, but I think Senator Obama said that the death penalty would be set out for bin Laden. He said that LAST WEEK."

Exactly. So why aren't all the people trashing McCain, saying that bin Laden has to be caught first also trashing Obama? You can't have it both ways.

McCain has already said that he should receive the death penalty, that he would do everything to hunt him down and kill him, so what does this say for any trial that binLaden would receive. I don't get the feeling that it would be fair, more like a show trial.

Sounds to me like McCain has made policy before visiting the area that he's actually talking about……ever heard that one before?

Obama didn't specifically say Nuremberg but this sounds almost word for word like Obama's response, except Obama said the end result would be the death penalty

Its great to hear that John McCain has a plan to
catch Osama Bin Laden, but cant tell us the details
because that might spoil the plan. But why doesn't he
just tell George Bush so we can get rid of Bin Laden
now?

So tell me Mr. McCain and McCain supporters "What IS success in Iraq?"

I think Wolf is tired of campagning for NObama under cover and running false polls and coming up with results from his dreams…..

No wonder he asks such questions and creates a blog for it. Wake up America!

Bin Laden who? When are the Republicans going to stop trying to pretend they are trying to find him. They don't want to. If they did find him their show of "fear is security" would be over and they would have nothing else to try to scare us into submission with.

No matter how mad you are that Hillary is not the Dem. nominee please don't vote for McCain.

Excuse me McCain, but if we don't bring Bin Laden back to the US and waterboard hin you do NOT have my vote!! And those liberal Europeans may not put him to death either. Threaten them not to speak to their leaders if they cause any trouble!!!

its amazing to me how much the left wastes time complaining. would you rather have another 9/11 or would you rather actually be protected and privileged enough to live in a country where you have the right to voice your opinions (as absurd and vapid as they may be). Stop trying to blame bush for everything, we don't live in a dictatorship. At least McCain is trying to protect and defend AMERICA. True, Obama didn't vote for the war, but then again that's because he WASN'T even in congress yet.

Yeah remember, he was already offered up to Clinton back in the 90s. He let him go. Where would we be now if Bill would have taken up the offer?

Wolf who?

I seem to remember that the big-ticket item at Nuremberg was the charge of "waging aggressive war."

By "aggressive" the court of course meant being the first to attack and doing so without just cause.

Maybe its time for some Nuremberg-like just for Bush and his co-conspirators.

Why don't you start there, Senator.

If we find him kill him. No man of his kind needs a trial to parade himself before his followers and glorify his cause. He will be a martyr no matter what but dont give him the press coverage if and when we do get him. The sooner he is dead the sooner he is forgotten the sooner we can eliminate his hate from Earth.

I liked the nutterbutter trials more.

John McCain is fond of fighting, incline to war. In other words BELLIGERENT Why does being a prisoner of war give him the credentials to become president ? John McCain keeps saying" any rational person" so if we don't agree with him I suppose we are irrational. Well I am rational enought to know we should of never gone to war with Iraq in the first place. John McCain is pugnacious.

I must have missed something. Wolf Blitzer and Sen McCain commented on the "in-depth" interview. All I saw was Sen McCain dodging most of the questions that were posed. I saw NO tough questions and definitely NO hard answers.
I am HUGELY disappointed that Wolf and CNN would let Sen McCain off with NO hard answers.

I will never vote for a man that smirks the way John smirks. It is so unbecoming and so unpresidential. He thinks he should win the presidency just because…..

He will NEVER get my vote, and he will be watching the inauguration from his rocking chair at home.

Is this to be the "October suprise" all Republicans/Clinton keep talking about? Surely, they would not suddenly capture Bin Laden just for polictical expediancy? Republicans have consistently proven they are disdainful enough of the American lives lost to date, that yes, they would use an "Ocotober suprise" of suddenly capturing Bin Laden just to win an election. Of course, they could also drop a couple of nukes on Iran say about October 15th as well.

For those young folks in the crowd, It is not without precedence, Richard Nixon promised to end the Viet Nam war which he did, but only after he was re-elected President. showing total disregard for the American lives lost during his "campaign season".

CNN) — Sen. John McCain on Friday said that as president he would consider bringing Osama bin Laden to justice through a Nuremberg-like international trial****.You got to Catch him 1ST***
McWar you soooo busy everyday talking about the Surge and Senator Obama I am surprised you thought about BIin Laden !!!!
Do you have any plans regarding AFGHANISTAN and the Economy???

I'm tire of McWar, and I hate that he's trying to ride to the White House on Barack's back. He can't get a dog to pay attention to him, so he keeps saying "Barack, Barack, Barack". What about him. Why can't he just focus on himself and stop shouting "Barack did this, and Barack did that". Jeesh—what a whiner.

I just watched Wolf Blitzer's interview with John McCain. Very interesting how ,when speaking of the war effort in Iraq and how the surge has put us well on the road to victory, CNN deceided to run half the TV screen with old footage of various catastrophies in Iraq.
I hope, just to be fair, that the next time CNN interviews Obama the screen is divided again showing Rev. Wright and Michelle Obama showing just how patriotic the people surrounding Barack are. Just to be fair. Repeat, just to be fair.

I heard McCain say that he knows how to win wars. If so, then I wonder what wars has he won? If he has not won any wars, then what proof does he have that he knows how to win wars? Most importantly, I would like to know how does he define winning a war? And, does he see all war victories in the same way? It might be the case that he does know how to win wars, but his definition of "winning wars" is not one that would satisfy most Americans and people in the world.

Does this man think of anything else but war, fear of war, war mongering… can we get a witness for the economy and American issues at home !!!!

as a man thinketh, so is he….

war, war…rumors of war. Prepare yourself America as McWar will ensure we are engaged in war…. it is all he knows….

Why? Why, oh Why does nobody Listen?? Somalia??? How are you going to get into Somalia… Yemen? I don't think so… Iraq is the only place, the 'West', has paid for with thousand of lives… You do not move, from what you fought for. Untill you are fully secure, which is never… Somalia is the next 'Hot Spot"… Beware……………America Listen, for a change…

while I don't disagree that Bin Laden should be brought to Justice for his crimes, McCain's invocation of the "Nuremburg Trials" as an example of justice is shameful. The Nuremburg trials were vindictive and unprincipled, and hardly something that western society should be proud of, or want to re-create.

When Wolf asked him what would be the first thing that he would do after becoming President, his reply was "I would sit down with my Foreign Policy advisor's".

His mind is still on Foreign Policy when his number one priority should be the American Economy first and foremost.

ECONOMY! ECONOMY! ECONOMY!

mccain is the last person that should comment on changing positions.

every position that made this guy a republican maverick has done an absolute 180. now he is nothing but a puppet for the neocons.

his actions today are not the same as they were 5 years ago.

mccain could be the biggest flip flopper to run for president in the past half century.

McCain=same old politics of DC
Obama=change

Judgement?

McCain you voted for an unwarranted Iraq war. Did you have cold hard facts (ie. Proof of nuclear weapons) before you voted for the war? You McCain made one of the worst judgement calls ever!!!

I can’t morally vote in another president who voted for this war. IT’S MORALLY WRONG!!!

I agree with John McCain up to a point but since he killed more americans than anybody else i say america should have the right to exert their punishment "DEATH".

Ask McCain why it's ok to make speeches abroad and Obama isn't? Do some real reporting for once!

The question was and still is when.

And we should bring McCain to trial as well.

First and foremost, Its only a dream that Mc Cain could ever become president. He is too old and too narrow minded to be the president. Old man Go take a nap. To catch Osama Bin Laden. Search White house First. Who knows where Bush Might be hiding him. As long as Bush family is doing business with Bin Laden family. You can never catch him.

What a idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is on CNN know.

"I KNOW WAR…" - Sen. John McCain

So, whats wrong with this picture…
same old boss.

This guy drives me nuts. HE IS GOING TO CAPTURE BIN LADEN. If he was capable of doing that why doesn't he tell Bush where he is so they can get him now? Please McCain, don't make me laugh. That's just pandering.

McCain overspeaks his ability to move ideas along to international allies. Looks like they're all embracing his opponent, Obama.

Yeah and we're going to find him with all our resources in Iraq, but good to know that you actually remembered Bin Laden is still around.

You have to find him first. The U.S. should have gone after bin Laden instead of going into Iraq.

bin Laden at Nuremburg and Bush at the Hague. Couldn't we combine them and save some money?

This affirms my suspicion that this Administration, the RNC and McCain know exactly where Bin Laden is and will leverage his capture to boost their Presidential bid.
Timing is everything and they might be surprised simply because the American public is not stupid. When the economy was tattering and Bush was on the verge of being given the vote of "no confidence" shortly after the Iraq war began looking "bad", they pulled Saddam out of the spider hole. The impact was very positive.
We know your MO and look forward to capturing Bin Laden in time for the Presidential elections.

Find him firstt

" There will never be another Holocaust" - McCain is still slinging fear. Why dose the media allow him to get away with such off the wall statements. Someone should ask him if he knows of a credible Holocaust threat. I guess Iran poses a Holocaust threat to Nuclear armed Israel who also possesses the most powerful conventional Militarises in the Region.
Obama will make him eat his words and it's not going to be pretty.

You have to catch him first, if he's still alive.

hey Wolf, did you ask Mr. McCain how can he say "Country fist" and still have so many lobbyist, including top adviser Charlie Black running his campaign?

We have to catch him first. I don't believe any of our intelligence agencies believe he's in Iraq, and since that's where you think we need to be using all of our resources McCain, I'm just wondering, how do you plan on bringing him to justice?

Either Mc is the inexperienced candidate, or he really is a war monger. Moving the capitol "right away" would only spur more attacks and hostility. Does he not realize this, or is he planning on it to happen?

Not a bad thought from him. I like John McCain, who doesn't? It's too bad that most of us imagine him driving America at 15mph with one blinker on.

I seriously question Grandpa McWar's judgment and knowledge. His
26 years' experience helped get our country into the mess it's in today.

He can't be tried until he is captured, my friend.

You, Mr. McCain, have not advanced his capture because you've followed behind the Bush Administration with this flawed emphasis on Iraq instead of the Afghanistan/ Pakistan border where we know he is hiding.

You've made empty statements about following Osama bin Laden to the "gates of hell" to get cheap applause. Unfortunately, your rhetoric doesn't match your lack of leadership on this point.

Once bin Laden is captured, the United States will not "outsource" our justice for almost 5,000 lives on 9/11.

Senator Obama, once again has lead you to address the right topics; he said the death penalty is the way to go for bin Laden.

Mr. McCain keep following him please.

While we're doing Bin Laden let's add a few more to the Nuremberg
trials.

Bin Laden, Bush, Cheney, McWar and Rove….and the list is endless.

Talk about OLD…he's trying to get the younger vote now talking

Nuremberg, I'm sure you lost anyone under 60 years old man.

PUMA Remember the GOP will not let blacks forget how Hillary stayed in the race even after everyone knew she could not win. It caused much racial division. We will not vote for Hillary in 2012. So let us get ready for at least another 8 years for the Republicans to have the highest office in the land.

Hey McShame, you and your buddy George could have found him and put him on trial by now if you had really wanted to.

When McCain said even "Bin Laden said the Iraq War is the central front" how can a future commander in chief follows the advise of his enemy?

It is like you said to your adversary if you want to win against me this is my weakness.

A smart man should know that capture BL is to go where he is…Afghan/Pakistan bother and not Iraq and not Iran.
Thanks God we may have a smart man soon!

Obama should be reminded that elections are in the USA and not abroad. Nobody likes America and to wiin the heart of the foreigners means bad choice for America because everybody outside the US want to see us down, example how everybody is happy to see the economy in the US is in trouble and the European store do not accept the US dollar and they say it with proud.
This is a proof that McCain is a true american in his heart and in his mind and I am sure that he will restore the glory of
America that Bush did not know how to keep.
I saw an add that say "McCain a 3rd term of Bush" I would rather say "McCain a 3rd term of Reagan".
GOD SAVE AMERICA

I was just about to write a post thanking Senator McCain for completing an entire interaction without launching an attach at Senator Obama - then I opened the rest of the article.

I will thank you Senator, and listen to the content of your policy proposal if I can get over the din of your profound nastiness.

Good idea McCain. Proof that I don't dislike all your ideas. Wish some Obama-haters were as balanced.

Sen. McCain and Bush you and your grand old party have been in control of the our government the entire start and during the war. If McCain and Bush wanted to capture Bin Laden they had a pretty good idea where to look . But that oil in Iraq was more important than the 3000+ lives lost in Ny on 911, more important than the safety of this country, more important than closing our on borders, more important than the well being of the U.S. military, more important than the inocent Iraq women and children, do you really love money that much or just hate this country war hero or nor, maybe you hate this country because of your ordeal in Vietnam hidden anger (well not so hidden at times as reported).

Sir what want you and Bush do for a dollar and now they are selling the country right from under us. You voted for this war and you want credit for a surge that has many components to it . Get real no vote for war no need for a surge . Talk about pooooor judgment no war no surge.

No war Osama would be possibly dead or captured by now you took you eye off the ball and the American people are suffering. No thanks no more Bush / McCain.

Obama / Powell 08

and when will this be? after he dies of old age?

Bush said he was not concerned about finding Bin Laden, and McCain will just follow Bush's failed footsteps and do nothing about tracking him down either.

Republicans love having Bin Laden at large to help with their boogyman fearmongering.

Never another holocaust? I'm sorry…what is happening in Darfur? I guess another genocide is okay then…

FLIP-FLOP

Just last month (6/19) McCain criticized Obama for saying that he didn't want to make Osama a martyr, and McCain said this:

"Let me be clear, under my administration Osama bin Laden will either be killed on the battlefield or executed."

Gee CNN, did you call McCain on this outright lie/flip-flop?

Obama 292 McCain 195 Ties 51

See electoral-vote.com it updates daily. More accurate than other Poll of Polls.

I think we have to have a sincere effort to CATCH the man first, then we can decide how to try him! So far, Bush and McCain have the murderer of 3000 Americans low on the totem pole. On McCain's criticisms of Obama - I'm not the only one who thinks he's starting to sound like a broken record! Come on, give us something new that YOU will do that actually makes sense and gives hope! We are tired of the sniveling whining! Gosh, to hear him makes me want to hand him a tissue to wipe the tears away. Seems like his fair complexion is turning a definite shade of green this past week!

More republican promises. You got to catch bin Laden before he can stand trial and obviously Bush can't find him. How can we trust McCain to do it? Maybe if Bush had put all the effort trying to find bin Laden instead of the Iraq war, he would probably be in custody now. McCain offers 4 more years of the same. Please give me a break ! ! !

McCain also continued to defend his criticism that Barack Obama would rather "lose a war in order to win a political campaign."

This above statement from McCain is disgusting and just another reason I will not be voting for McSame

When all you have John is to question someone else on is "inexperience and knowledge" then your desperate. You have not put forth any substantive changes for America. You want more war, hence your comment. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran and then you chuckle as if it were some sort of joke!! John you can't even remember that Czechoslovakia ceases to exist and is now the Czech Republic (twice, nonetheless) You will veto beer. You have to be steadied by your nurse/wife Cindy by the elbow every time you walk down stairs or steps, because your unfit to be president.. You don't know what its like to have to pay for your own gas, go to the grocery store to buy the essentials. You are worth over $41 million John, talk about elitist. John please just retire and collect your social security (hope it's adjusted to a lower amount since you are in a high paying job!!) John I am from Arizona, a Native, born and raised, and you make me sad to be from Arizona!! Go back to where you came from and retire there!!!

McCain's idea of bringing bin Laden to justice using an international system is excellent, if it is feasible.
One question for Senator McCain: Should President Bush, Alberto Gonzales and/or other members of the current administration be put on trial for their authorization of torture and violations of U.S. and international law?

It wouldn't matter to me how he comes to face his accusers as long as it gets done, dead or alive. Of course obama binladin would simply forgive him of his sins, bless him and send him on his way.

Shouldn't Geaorge Bush and Dick Cenney have to be judged in the same way, for invading a soverign nation without provocation? Maybe we could get a deal, like a three-for one price or something!

It was not the surge alone that worked, it was paying the Sunnis cash for not fighting. The MSM is not reporting the facts to the American people. They should be ashamed.

Yeah, right John. Maybe you should focus on catching him first. Considering the American people have been waiting seven years for this to happen, I'd have to go with a vote of no confidence.

If america elect John MaCain as president I have no problem he is a good person, but make sure to give abosolute majority to democrats in congress and I mean 67 vote in senate, and defeat all that special interest Republican senator.who still believe in deregulation and think that rise in oil price is supply and demand.

News Flash! Ya gotta find him first John, something W and Dick just can't seem to do!

Reasonable enough idea — but you gotta catch him first, and I don't think he's hiding in Iraq.

McCain, nobody is listening to you. Shut the …. Up
OBAMA (2008 -16)

is was not the durge that worked. The Americans were paying the Sunnis cash for not fighting. The so-called surge was used to cover up these and other facts that the media is not reporting to the public. Shame on MSM.

This is election year nonsense. McBush never wanted to catch bin Laden. He was more useful as a bogeyman to continue to scare Americans so that the executive can usurp consitutional powers and also to get Republicans re-elected in 2004.

If McBush sent American troops to Tora Bora rather than drawing them down to go to Iraq, bin Laden might have been captured and then the republican neocon dream of attacking Iraq would not have happened.

When the republicans took power in Jan 2001, they immediately went to work planning an invasion of Iraq (while ignoring al Quada and Afghanistan). This was pre 9-11 and so after 9-11 happened, they just piggybacked their old plan into an overbroad "War on Terror" and lied and fooled the American people.

So when will the republican party be held accountable for the single biggest disaster and lie our people have had to endure???

Just as soon as McGeezer invades Iran to get ABL . . . .

The Repubs should honestly think about letting McGeezer stay at home until the convention. Every time the guy speaks, he makes himself appear less lucid and probably loses a few votes each time too.

Oh come on…………………..you need to capture and arrest someone before you put them on trial……………..Putting someone on trial who is still on the loose is just for show…………….McCain, you can't be this stupid…………why don't you talk about capturing him first !!!!!!!

I will meet you at the gates of hell, President McCain!

Lets catch him first Mc Vain and then…
By the way how about the same for the Washington adm. as In Bush and Cheney and Rummy tec. they are all so quilty of War Crimes.
But no Bush will hide bin laden for as long as he can, reaping the oil money from his buddy at the cost of this and precious lives, not to forget all the innocent Iraqi's lives and childern that now have no arms and legs, and you say we must win. Question.. What are we suppose to win, more oil money?
Obama has a brain therefore he has jugdement something you do not have . Your judgement is all about war and fear and woman hating. So continue on with slamming Obama and fighting your war . By the way, how many wars have you really won Mc Lame. Your still fighting the war in your own mind and in VN. You are no hero, "Mr I Know How To Win Wars"
Get a real life somewhere on Uranus …. because it will never be in WashingtonDC
Obama, Obama, Obama 08
God help us!
Cnn do you think you could print this one

To all you PUMA, ex-HRC supporters/Obama haters…..all your lame arse excuses have been exhausted and you STLL have a problem with Obama?

The bottom line, however quietly kept, is this……racism is alive and well in the USA…….why don't you guys just take off the hooded sheets and get with the program.

OBAMA '08/,'12

Obama already said this-McCopycat
