Is This the Kind of National Security McCaine is Talking About?

avatar

First of all I never thought that Obama needed to go on this International tour before the election anyway.  I've always felt that McCaine or others against Obama would plot somehow to conveniently erase him from the race.  It became even more obvious when that ugly reference to the Kennedy Assasination was referenced in the primaries.  I just think McCaine goaded Obama into "proving his Foreign Policy expertise."   This is just a set-up and if I were Obama, I would cancel and/or reschedule to travel with both Senators McCaine and Clinton in tow.  He DID challenge Obama to travel with him to these countries at the beginning of the race...

Now McCaine is really showing that he knows nothing about "Security,"  National or Otherwise.  Further more, being a POW and admitting to your captors to having committed war crimes is no indication of knowing how to win a war.  If he had really admitted to committing war crimes, do you really think he would be alive today...and Oh!  is attempting suicide while in captivity another way to win a war?  Why do McCaine's ideas on Iraq and Afghanistan suddenly sound like what Obama has been saying for the last 11 months???  Who is the expert?

Welcome, newbie. I see this is your first post ever. Congrats.

I can also see that you are not a McCain supporter, because you don't know how to spell his name.

I can see very well with my glasses on. But what I can't see, at all, is your point.

But welcome.

Dig your new hairstyle, LisB! Is your stylist Mr. Genghis?

And Missie, your post is a bit unfocused, but I take it you are saying McCain let Obama's travel date slip intentionally in order to put him at risk. It's possible, but I think it's more likely a result of the loose wiring between McCain's brain and his mouth. Which is another good reason not to vote for him.
