Yeah, talk about a softball pitch for a little publicity!
Newsflash senators: permanent bases were already a given.
And we have McCain giving credence to the notion that we want to have a permanent occupying force in the Middle East. The loose cannon on the rolling deck. McCain truly does wear thin very quickly.
I think McCain better stick to his other calling 'speech god'.
How many people did Mc'Cain knock down getting to the microphone and camera's?
What in the world is Hillary doing on the Armed Forces committee? She has no use for people in uniform and proved it when she was taking up space in the white house.
It would be nice to have a base in Afghanistan to raid the surrounding countries that have dictatorship or terrorist supporting government, but will the people of Afghanistan accept this?
Can McCain spell ME oil?????
My bet is a McCain and Clinton ticket in 2008 although it's hard to say who will lead the ticket. The way they fawned over each other in Iraq leaves little doubt in my mind IMHO.
U.S. Senator John McCain (C) speaks as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) (L) and Afghan President Hamid Karzai (R) look on during a short visit by a U.S. congressional delegation in Kabul, Afghanistan (news - web sites) February 22, 2005. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators pledged long-term support for Afghanistan on Tuesday and influential Republican McCain said he saw the need for permanent joint military bases in the country.DUH! AS IF!
I agree with McCain on this. Take em out of Germany and Korea.
