ABC News ^ | Feb. 19, 2007 | AP

Posted on 02/19/2007 12:17:06 PM PST by FairOpinion

Senator John McCain said Monday the war in Iraq has been mismanaged for years.

He said Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (news - bio) will be remembered as one of the worst to ever hold the job.

He said the United States is paying a heavy price for the mismanagement.

He said Rumsfeld never put enough troops on the ground to succeed in Iraq.

Former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating and former Texas Senator Phil Gramm were at his side.

Both endorsed McCain over the weekend.

That was just in my thoughts. Someone else would have to photoshop it.

[ But your post proves that you have a serious case of BDS. It makes no sense whatsoever, and is entirely off topic. ]

Any thread on John McLaim is about insanity.. or treason..
Which includes Giuliani as fodder.. McLaim is crazy but hes not stupid..
Giuliani is crazy.. all liberals are mentally unhinged and craven..

Which has absolutely nothing to do with President Bush, and makes my point.

Bush Derangement Syndrome at its most severe.....

I am convinced that he is a little senile..and his handlers are feeding him his talking points.

Good point. He just damaged his only 'strength' with the base.

Maybe we should start a letter-writing campaign, begging and pleading that he must resign from the Senate in order for us to support him fully for president, that the Senate is a distraction, that no serious candidate for president will remain there, etc.

Think he'd fall for it? The man is as dumb as rocks.

Could be. This doesn't make any sense, though, from a campaign standpoint.

Why would his handlers have him make such a stupid statement?

Giuliani is crazy

If you read the article titled "The Right Record" by Steven Malanga in the NY Post you will find that Rudy has done many amazing things that conservatives would really like if they only knew about them. His transforming of NY City (larger than many of our states) from a dirty, crime-ridden welfare city to a clean, safe, working place is one of the truly amazing stories of governing of our time. We need a strong leader who can talk with leaders of other countries. I do not think either Hillary or Obama fit that description.
