Push back on McCain's Iraq "plan"

McCain has no plan for Iraq and Obama should call him on it. McCain wants a blank check for Iraq, and has a blank piece of paper for his plans there. He only has criticism of Obama's plan. McCain keeps harping on accountability and wise spending, but when it comes to Iraq that goes out the window and we are just supposed to trust him.

bin Laden cites Iraq as central front on terrorism and McCain agrees

I heard this again during the VP debate last night. It seems clear that bin Laden would say that Iraq was the central front on terrorism because if you are fighting there, it limits the effort that can be launched in Afganistan and Pakistan where bin Laden is actually hiding.

Why are we letting McCain frame Iraq with "the surge"?!?

This is not about whether the surge worked or not, but McCain will keep it on that point for as long as he can. And he can AS LONG AS OBAMA LETS HIM. It seems like it has been a long time since Obama talked about the lies that got us into this war in the first place.

Gen. Petraeus the hottest thing since Superman

Still looking at the first debate, it appears to me that Sen. McCain is invoking Gen. Petraeus and his superhuman successes and wisdom an awful lot. Not wanting to belittle the general's successes as a military leader, I would suggest that next time name comes up, the answer should be: "If he is that good, maybe Gen. Petraeus should be the presidential candidate of the Republican party".

National Debate - War in Iraq/Surge

This may be a little harsh so could tone it down but here in an analogy for War in Iraq/Surge

Supporting the War in Iraq was like letting your Drunk Buddy drive your family home. Bad Decision.
Eventually applying a bandaid to your injured son or
Doing CPR or your unconscious Buddy = Surge in Iraq - Good decision, but too late.

Ad: American People Pay for Republican Failures

We pay with our pocketbooks as we are forced out of necessity to bail out a financial system corrupted by republican ideals. We pay with our lives as a mismanaged war lingers on. We pay with our bodies as our world is progressively poisoned and temperatures rise.
