Not “wishing” for anything...but as I said earlier, this clown is an empty suit and a friggin’ joke who was still in law school when we went to Iraq the first time. A lot he knows about anything outside of law school...how he got this far is laughable!

"So I have some news for John McCain," he added, saying there was no al-Qaida presence in Iraq until President Bush invaded the country.

Barry's exactly right! When Abu Musab al-Zarqawi moved there in 2002, he just heading up a Cub Scout troop.

[When do we get liberated?]

Hey Dave Whats up!!! You must be my brother, we have the same sister....

That’s the picture that should be saved to use extensively as November draws near. Should Hussein Obama win the nomination, of course.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Bumper Sticker.

“Obama says America wants change.
I want to keep more of my folding money.”

"I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It's called `al-Qaida in Iraq,'" McCain said

ROTFLMAO! McCain is growing on me.

[Uncle Miltie]

What we know to be true will never be accepted by 80% of the Country. Oh well.

[Aquinasfan]

He’s not too good talking off the cuff.

The thing is, though, that he makes the stupidest statement sound positively erudite with his low voice and calm demeanor. Bugs the crap out of me, but it's true. He's slaying them in the aisles. I mean, "Change we can believe in"? Who else could pull off this crap?

[Argus]

One of the ongoing failures of the Bush administration was to allow a few Big Lies to get rolling and gain purchase in the collective consciousness of all the dumb voters out there. One was “Saddam had no WMD’s.” Another is this one, that al Qaeda had no presence in Iraq until we liberated the country. That’s not true, but the MSM has repeated it often enough that it’s become gospel, and not just to the kooky MoveOn left. We need to be as relentless and monotonous in repeating the truth as the liberals are in repeating their lies, and we haven’t been.

. . .saying there was no al-Qaida presence in Iraq until President Bush invaded the country.

Sad thing is, a lot of people will buy this drivel.

[AmericaUnited]

Obama is as quick on his feet as The Evil One. As has been noted in several article posted here at FR, when he veers away from the carefully choreographed cue cards of “vapid, empty eloquence”, he sounds very inexperienced, naive, lightweight, i.e empty suit.

For all McCain's faults, I do like the way he will go after Jr. No "new tone" garbage.

""So I have some news for John McCain," he added, saying there was no al-Qaida presence in Iraq until President Bush invaded the country."

What an ignorant moron! Al-Zarqawi and other members of al-Qaeda fled to Iraq after Afghanistan fell to the coalition forces. From Iraq they planned the assassination of diplomat Foley in Jordan and carried out that assassination. That was a direct attack on the USA from al-Qaeda based in Iraq before the start of the Iraq War.

I am so sick of uninformed and ignorant liberals and Democrats.

[MEGoody]

Actually, out of the 3 possibilities, I find Obama the least intolerable.

Have you paid any attention to the things that Obama said he would do as President? If so, please name them (and then tell me again, with a straight face, that he is the least intolerable).

[Sloth]

Yes (I’d already seen that vid).

[Aquinasfan]

It is just incredible that liberals seem to think that we are at war with ONLY Al-Queda. Why do they not understand that we are at war with Islamofascism

We're at war with Islam, since Islam has been at war with the non-Muslim world, the Dar-al-Harb or "world of war," for over 1300 years. It's a discomfiting thought which flies in the face of the bedrock liberal principle of religious relativism. So, like all liberal-discomfiting thoughts, it must be supressed.

[MBB1984]

Don’t call him “Hussein.” McCain will be deeply offended and apologize for your statement.

[AmericaUnited]

One of the ongoing failures of the Bush administration was to allow a few Big Lies to get rolling and gain purchase in the collective consciousness of all the dumb voters out there.

This is the single biggest cause of trouble for the last 8 years, bar none! 95% of the lefts rallying cries are total and unadulterated lies that could have been easily neutered. I HATE the new tone. This is a fight to the death.

[BunkDetector]

“That’s the picture that should be saved to use extensively as November draws near. Should Hussein Obama win the nomination, of course.”

I’m curious, do you think it should be used extensively after November should he win the election?

[bestrongbpositive]

Juan McCain shouldn’t do things like this..its not politically correct..It may just offend “BO”...
