Iraq Vet: McCain Snubbed the Troops

Hum, since McCain has never commanded an army or led men into battle, I'm guessin his ideas on how the Iraq war should be fought is something he picked up from the North Vietnamese while a prisoner. McCain is damaged goods, a certifiable loon, incapable of loyalty and a threat to the country.

McCain, and many other's in Congress, are trying to use Rumsfeld as a scapegoat right now.

The Armor issue is an example.

It is Congress who sets up how the bid process for govt. contracts are awarded....and when they are awarded.

So if people want to gripe about Armor....then its CONGRESS that needs to answer some questions.

I doubt, however, that we will ever see investigative committee hearings on the accountability of Congress.

I just read this over a Newsmax.
Glad you posted it.

Of all people to snub the troops....
His attack on Rumsfeld, his snubbing of our troops, coupled with his concern for steroids in sports ...
What is he thinking?

Yuck...

[Dashing Dasher]

Isn't it also the job of a Senator?
Or did he just travel to Iraq for the photo op?

Sad, really....

This sure puts a new spin on these remarks made by McCain. IF it was the same trip...

November 6, 2003 SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: Well, I have the greatest respect for Secretary Rumsfeld and I think he has an incredibly difficult job. I just have a very different view and that view to a degree was formed on my visit in August to Iraq where I talked to a lot of people too, including sergeant majors and junior officers who very candidlytold me that they didn't have enough troops and they predicted that things would get worse, particularly in the Sunni Triangle.

And now Biden is saying almost the same thing......

Biden Dec. 19-04: "We were in Fallujah spending time with the operational commanders in there. As I'm leaving, they're putting on a Black Hawk helicopter. One of the commanders...with stars on his shoulder waited until the noise was loud enough and leaned up and"-- he--"said, `Senator, anybody tells you that we have enough troops here, you can tell them they're a GD liar.'"
