Scoring one or two points in an election is not the kind of commander we are looking for. Careful,,thoughtful comments with an even tone is required . There is a danger of war immenent with McWar. He has no clue as to how to diffuse a crises. He will add fuel to the fire and going to kill many soldiers unnecessarily. McCain has this eagerness to prove that he is a war hero.

You know how that turned out last time. He came out blustering but everyone knew there was really nothing the US could do besides call for diplomacy, sanctions and co-operation from other countries. You couldn't send troops because they are all tied up in Iraq. It seems that actually Obama had the more reasoned approach and as of now there is a cease fire so flying off the handle seems to have not been the best idea after all.

Does he thinks young americans blood belongs to him to speaks like he speaks. My president Sarkozy has just shown the opposite of what this dangerous commander in chief ia advocating. Humble yourself and go and meet the "Axe of evil" to stop the bombing by using his head. How many wars American are you willing to fight to secure what will be a cemetery at last since all your futur generation will be oversea fighting for oil...Come on shut up old man and make friend instead of ennemies!

McCain's answers for solving problems is war, war, and more war. We do not have nearly enough troops to attack everyone who doesn't agree with McCain so he will have to call up a new military draft. With equal rights of men and women this will not be targeted at just men. Women will also be drafted under McCain. Also, why isn't McCain foreign policy adviser being a Georgian lobbyist being called out. If this was Obama's adviser the media would be on it nonstop.
