Carl, it was either that or millions more would have died in an Invasion of Japan.
mcCain have not idea what he talking about..
Carl, we're not the only ones having nuclear weapons.
What is McCain looking at off stage? And why can't McCain Look at Obama???? MCCain has proven to me why I like OBAMA.... The thing I like that Obama has done is look and speak to McCain. Shows me he is ready to be president!!!
So why don't you move to Iran Edward, Amanda and Sandee. The difference between the US and Iran is that we are really using Nuclear power to power the United States. Wouldn't you have 300 nukes if someone said we are going to wipe you off the earth?
McCain is a hot head. He will have every country wanting to destroy us.
Yikes! McCain just toasted Obama, LOL. Keep your head up Obama, don't let him get to you!!
McCain is an idiot.
Russia - Sarah Palin can see it from her house!!
I don't think Obama has sounded weak at all tonight. He's holding strong on both fronts.
