We Are Winning in Iraq...Who Is McCain Trying To Fool

Let's stop George W. Bush, General Betrayus and John McCain from playing another eight track loop through of rhetoric on Iraq. We are winning the war, our troops will stand down when Iraq troops stand up, we need more time to train the Iraqi troops, violence is down, blah, blah, blah over and over again, the War Whores spew their rhetoric as Joe LIEberman and John McCain try to convince us that we must remain in Iraq, even if it takes 100 years.

Face it America, Iraq is a disaster, and their troops have no intention of STANDING UP so our troops can stand down. We had a chance to take out Sadr and BLEW IT, and the latest violence, the latest crack down on Mugtada al-Sadr was a complete disaster, and shows America how much of a dismal failure our training of Iraqi troops has been! Over 1000 Iraqi soldiers cut and run during the fighting, including SENIOR LINE OFFICERS...are we willing to watch America's finest mowed down in the desert sand for a much of Sand Chickens? Are we willing to give John McCain four years to continue George W. Bush's FAILED POLICY on Iraq, on the Economy?

More Than 1,000 in Iraq’s Forces Quit Basra Fight

BAGHDAD — More than 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen either refused to fight or simply abandoned their posts during the inconclusive assault against Shiite militias in Basra last week, a senior Iraqi government official said Thursday. Iraqi military officials said the group included dozens of officers, including at least two senior field commanders in the battle.

The desertions in the heat of a major battle cast fresh doubt on the effectiveness of the American-trained Iraqi security forces. The White House has conditioned further withdrawals of American troops on the readiness of the Iraqi military and police.

The crisis created by the desertions and other problems with the Basra operation was serious enough that Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki hastily began funneling some 10,000 recruits from local Shiite tribes into his armed forces. That move has already generated anger among Sunni tribesmen whom Mr. Maliki has been much less eager to recruit despite their cooperation with the government in its fight against Sunni insurgents and criminal gangs.

John McCain's New Bumper Sticker-100 Years Folks-Think About It

John McCain-Doddering Old War Whore

Found this delightful John McSame(Cain) video on YouTube. There is just a bit too much of the real world John McCain slipped in with the humor...it makes you serious wonder what a John McCain Presidency would be like. World War III anyone?

Are Bush, McCain and General Betrayus Setting Stage for War With Iran?

Two news items over on the BCC site caught my attention. One reason for this, is the lack of any real overage here in America as the Iraq war seems to have fallen off the media network radar as the wrong war drags on, and the death toll on all sides mounts. The second reason these two articles caught my eye, is it gives credence to the BUZZ that George W. Bush will invade Iran, or take some time of military action against them before the fall elections. Such a tactic would burnish Senator McCain's claim that we need a WAR TIME President in office during these troubling times...after all, if we open up a new front with Iran, Israel as our partner, we all know that "All Hell" is going to break loose.

Sure some will howl at me bringing up General Betrayus again, but what else would you call a man that refuses to tell the whole truth, seems to now be contributing to George W. Bush's beating of the war drums against Iran. Cut our loses and bring our troops home before War Hawks like McCain and Bush trash the American Economy and throw us into a second Depression.

Iran 'behind Green Zone attack'

Gen Petraeus said he was surprised how Sunnis turned against al-Qaeda The most senior US general in Iraq has said he has evidence that Iran was behind Sunday's bombardment of Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone. Gen David Petraeus told the BBC he thought Tehran had trained, equipped and funded insurgents who fired the barrage of mortars and rockets. He said Iran was adding what he described as "lethal accelerants" to a very combustible mix. There has as yet been no response from Iran to the accusations. The rockets that were launched at the Green Zone yesterday, for example... were Iranian-provided, Iranian-made rockets Gen David Petraeus In response to the news that 4,000 US military personnel have now been killed in Iraq, he said it showed how much the mission had cost but added that Americans were realistic about it.

Hamas 'wrecking Mid-East peace'

Mr Cheney (L) said both sides need to make concessions US Vice-President Dick Cheney has said Palestinian militant group Hamas, along with Iran and Syria, is trying to torpedo the Middle East peace process. Mr Cheney made the remarks after breakfast with Israeli PM Ehud Olmert, as he ended a tour of the Middle East. He met Palestinian leaders on Sunday, saying both sides needed to make painful concessions to achieve peace. A Palestinian state was long overdue, he said, but militant rocket attacks against Israel jeopardised this. "There is evidence that Hamas is supported by Iran and Syria and they are doing everything they can to torpedo the peace process," Mr Cheney said.

McCain's Week Of Looking Presidential Big Failure

McCain's week of looking Presidential was a dismal failure from start to finish. At every step of the way he said the wrong thing, or did not go far enough. Some of his low lights include:

1. Flying into Iraq right on the Five Year Anniversary was in poor taste. Having Cheney arrive while he was there even worse.

2. His now infamous Shite/Sunni/Iran gaffe while in Jordan.

3. Holding a fund raiser at the Spencer House in London on what was supposed to be an OFFICIAL TRIP...yeah right.

4. Bringing up Tibet, but failing to call for a boycott of the Olympics in China.

5. Again defending his Bomb Bomb Iran song. But then, this is the man that calls Vietnamese Gooks. Ranks right up there with Obama defending Wright's hate speech because that is how Black people talk when we get together.

So Much For Presidential, Lieberman Corrects McCain Gaffe

Seems that McGrandpa McCain either through an onset of senility, or just plain ignorance made a serious Gaffe today while speaking in Jordan in his I Am Presidential World Tour.

The significant misstep occurred during a news conference in Jordan earlier Tuesday, when the presumptive Republican presidential nominee McCain repeatedly said Iran was supplying al Qaeda. Iran is predominately a Shiite country would not be aiding the Sunni dominated Al-Qaeda. OOPS!

McCain corrected himself after Sen. Joe Lieberman whispered in his ear.

"I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al Qaeda. I am sorry, I am sorry," the Arizona senator said.

Rumor has it, that exiting the stage he whispered to Lieberman, "Shite, Sunni, what's the difference, they're all terrorists to me? Question is, did Lieberman's quick thinking move him one step closer, or one step further away from McCain?

New Poll Spells Serious Trouble For McCain

Despite the raging war going on in the Democratic Party, a newly released poll shows a statistical dead heat when Clinton or Obama is matched up against John McCain. The pool which has a plus or minus factor of 3 shows Obama beating McCain by 1 percent in the poll, while Hillary Clinton beats him by 3 percent. This poll shows that McCain is in serious trouble. His MAJOR gaffe in Jordan today should see his numbers tumbling further at a time when he should be attempting to build a lead.
