I am claiming that McCain will fight the Democrats that want to Cut & Run and LOSE THE WAR.
You guys DO remember we are in a war, don't you?
Imagine each one of the Presidential candidates as Commander-in-Chief for the past year and a half:
**********
Obama 13 months ago:
**********
Hillary 13 months ago:
Published January 17, 2007 ........ Hillary Clinton opposes Iraq troops 'surge'
**********
McCain 14 months ago:
**********
Three months ago in Iraq:
Troop Surge, Iraqis’ Anger Puts al Qaeda ‘On the Run’
**********
During these past few days, it has become evident that many on Free Republic would rather snub McCain than win the war. Some have even written to me to the effect that it does not matter if we win or lose the war.
Well, consider these consequences of voting for Ross Perot in 1992 and ending up with Clinton in the White House for 8 years.

February 11, 2005 .... North Korea Confirms It Has Nuclear Weapons Friday
North Korea missile test 'brings US within range'
The consequences are that, in maybe the next decade when the North Koreans further refine their missile technology, those of us who live in or near major cities on the West Coast, my family and myself included, could be obliterated in a North Korean nuclear strike if the Great Leader has a bad hair day.

Now, let's consider the consequences of bugging out and losing the War in Iraq:
1.) The fanatical Islamist mullahs of Iran will move into the power vacuum in Iraq leaving them with military hegemony of the Persian Gulf and 70% of the World's known oil reserves.
2.) With control of 70% of the World's known oil reserves, a fanatical Islamist Iran will have control of the carotid arteries of the economies of the Western World.
3.) Islamist Iran, like North Korea and Pakistan before it, is aggressively seeking nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. With control of 70% of the World's known oil reserves, Iran will most surely achieve its nuclear goals in short order by bribery or economic blackmail of the European nations and/or the Japanese and/or the Russians.
4.) After Cutting & Running from Iraq, neither the Clintons nor, especially, Obama, will do what it takes to stop Iran.
5.) At that point, in ten years, those of you who live in or near major cities of the East Coast could be obliterated in an Iranian nuclear strike if the Mullahs in Iran decide that the day for achieving Eternity in Paradise by striking at the Great Satan has finally come.
6.) The deterrence doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction worked fine with the pragmatic Soviets and the ChiComs, it will probably even work with the nutty North Koreans but "Mutually Assured Destruction" means "Winning an Eternity in Paradise" to the fanatical Islamist Mullahs of Iran.

The current situation reminds me more of the farce of "Blazing Saddles" than "High Noon".
The town is in danger of being physically destroyed in the future. Instead of focusing on the physical safety of the town, everybody is in Church, feeling sorry for themselves, singing "our little town has turned to shit". Then they get riled up because they don't like the Sheriff who is the only one that will prevent the town from being physically destroyed.
"The Sheriff is a RI (BONG)"
"What?"
"I said the Sheriff is a RI (BONG)"
"What?"
"I said the Sheriff is a RINO!

Moan and groan all you want now. It's good for you.
But, come November, think about the consequences and
