Comments on: McCain: I Didn't Need Armed Guard In Iraq

Senator Insists He Would Have Visited Baghdad Market Without Heavy Security

OK, try again, without the escort this time.

AND WITHOUT THE MILE RADIUS AREA CLEARED AROUND THE MARKET AND WITHOUT THE PRESELECTED SHOPPERS--GO ON MCCAIN AND DO IT.... AND ALL JOURNALISTS SHOULD USE LONG RANGE LENSES AND STAY AT LEAST 500 FEET BACK FOR THEIR OWN FVCKING SAFETY.

McCain must think we are all really stupid. No matter his valor or what he could have done, the fact is, he had a heavily armed escort, the market was cleared in a mile radius and he came back and put his foot in his mouth by claiming not only were many Bagdhad neighborhoods safe....but in response to an Iraqi's question, he claimed he had "just walked in one today" Not misspeaking---lying and doing so with the few knowledge that it was so unsafe that everything from the market visit, to his trip in the humvee to the hundred soldiers with guns out and the Apache helicopters..was a staged event. Pure propaganda followed with lies--and the idiot does not even have the cover of the white house or GOP voters yet.

If he was smart--like Imus an the apology glut--he would GIVE IT A REST. A person can explain so much that his words begin to condemn him.

It makes a noise when a presidential candidate falls from any possibility of victory this fast. The crazy talk express. What a caricature this guy just became.

david1737,
I am still laughing about your post. And your term, neo-con-artist is GREAT! If you made it up, you are a political genius, and if not, thanks for passing it forward.
It is a good match for goofy Ditto-head's "drive-by liberal media." I LOVE it.
neo-con-artist neo-con-artist....

If he truly feels that way. Send him back immediately and let him take Bush, Cheney, Graham and Delay with him without any cover.

When McCain took his walk he was surrounded by more than 100 armed troops, snippers gave cover from surrounding roof tops, and two apache war ships covered him from above.

With this kind of entourage I could walk through south Central wearing a white hood. LOL!!!

He's a Neo-Con-Artist.

I feel sorry for McCain. He has totally lost it.

Now that McCain has cleared up the fact that one doesn't need armed guard to walk safely through the often bombed markets in Baghdad ...

Perhaps he can convince another Republican that they are divinely protected.

I'm thinking Bush can stop protestors from being corraled into "free speech zones", without media access, wherever he goes.

After all, if McCain is immune from snipers and suicide bombings, surely Bush can handle someone holding a "Bush sucks" sign?

McCain has gone around the bend. He really IS senile and every time he opens his mouth he shows it more. For his own sake I hope a friend or family member pulls him aside and out of the public eye before he ends up so far gone that he's wetting his diapers during an interview. He needs medication and retirement since he's obviously no longer in his right mind.
