The Case for Withdrawal (Part One)

i know i haven’t updated the blog recently, but i thought i should at the very least, periodically explain why john mccain is dead wrong about his 100 years in iraq platform.
whether or not you were for or against the war in iraq from the beginning is almost irrelevant at this point. the major question [...]

mccain,  the self-proclaimed foreign policy expert, has confused sunnis and shias on at least seven occasions…

McCain gets his facts wrong on Iraq, yet again

in either a failed attempt to pretend as if the surge was working or simply because mccain wasn’t aware of the facts, he claimed that the latest iraq battle was a success for the iraqi army (it wasn’t) and that the mlitants were the ones who had asked for the cease-fire (they didn’t.)
on 4/1/08 mccain [...]

It’s raining McCain!

obama’s got his obama girls, and mccain has some of his own lovely ladies singing for him. they got gems like “it’s raining mccain” and “here comes mccain again” (where they just changed “rain” to mccain”).
brilliant!

Misunderestimating Sadr

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), 4/8/07:

Taking a look at McCain’s 100 years

the statement:
Q: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years — (cut off by McCain)
McCAIN: Make it a hundred.
Q: Is that … (cut off)
McCAIN: We’ve been in South Korea … we’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with [...]

Is John McCain still confused about MLK?

today marks the 40th anniversary of MLK’s death, and as mccain spoke about it, he was booed by the crowd.
the reason? maybe it was because back in 1983, the freshman maverick voted against arizona celebrating the holiday. he then opposed the holiday again in 1987 and he opposed it as a federal holiday [...]

McCain was against the surge before he was for it

right now:
It’s entertaining, in that I was the greatest critic of the initial four years, three and a half years. I came back from my first trip to Iraq and said, This is going to fail. We’ve got to change the strategy to the one we’re using now. But life isn’t fair.
the reality:
