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

Senator Insists He Would Have Visited Baghdad Market Without Heavy Security

[truthword]

These politicians won't even walk the streets of AMERICA without armed guards. Stop voting for the plutocrats in the republicrap and democrap parties! As a matter of fact I reccomend not even voting, it's all a big dog and pony show anyways, why even waste your time, they're going to INSTALL whomever they want to. Just start ignoring the government and their mass media. We own this country not a few plutocrats in D.C.

The tap dancing continues.

He's full of S h I t. He'd be dead just going to the bazaar. If he goes unarmed than he must ride in a non-armored vehicle with no GUARDS.

He is so done. He has lost the campaign for the nomination. He is a non-player.

John McCain and his heavily armored bodyguards ("Dead or Alive, you're coming with me") enter the Iraqi Bazaar, where the centerpiece of the visit is an Iraqi rug merchant who assures McCain that things are improving in Iraq.

Monty Python couldn't improve on that satire.

King777Shaw, none of these politicians in either party care about "We the people" all they care about are themselves and their big shot buddies. First of all governments on every level in this country have been running a double bookkeeping scam since 1946 called CAFR reporting where they hide all of the tax surpluses, investments, liquid assets, holdings, profit centers, etc etc., they're sitting on enough of our $ to literally pave the streets in gold, they hold onto this money so they can use the almighty dollar as that invisible boot on the back of everyones heads. If you see a politician that isn't talking about getting this money back to "We the People" to whom it rightfully belongs, which none of them are trying to do, or will even mention, then you're just observing another lying scumbag politician, and that's the facts...

[rfstevens]

Well, since he says he could have walked around without all that security, I guess he could always go back and give it a shot (no pun intended).

A potential conspiracy theory here ?

Imus and his buddy are right-of-center.

You don't suppose that Imus crack was deliberately intended to...

Naaaa.

"Just wanted to make clear, I do highly respect McCain as a war hero and veteran. However, my respect for him as a politician is sadly extremely low."

Ditto. But politcally, McCain went insane. I don't know, maybe he figures this is his last chance at president (age-wise) and so he's going to pull out all the sleazy politcal stunts since he's got nothing to lose. But by shiftng from independence to just another Bush koolaide drinker, he lost the very thing that appealed to many Americans.

[king77shaw]

McCain's flip is flopping ... I respected him before the hostile corporate takeover of Iraq but no longer believe he cares about "we the people" ... no Republicans do for that matter ...

(After what will be eight years of George W. Bush in the White House, the American people are not going to elect a John McCain to succeed him.)

Man, you just can't make this stuff up. John Stewart must be grinning from ear to ear. Little wonder shows like the Colbert Report and The Daily Show are so successful and funny - GOP clowns like McCain make it too TOO easy.

Walt, when you see John McCain on the campaign trail ask him why he has all the armed guards.... he obviously doesn't need them now does he..... so what are they so afraid of, is he more afraid of the American people than the Iraqi people?

[rafterman1]

McCain's right, he wouldn't have been killed without an armed escort. The terrorists would have kidknapped his a$$ instead. Can you imagine how much a United States Senator is worth as a hostage?

"I'll gladly go almost anywhere in the world, under any circumstances, but I did respond and do what Gen. Petraeus asked me to do."

Could just one reich wing nut job not pass blame onto others when confronted?

If we are getting lies and hypocrisy from this guy now, what would we get when he's President?

[walt1944-2009]

I can think of places in this country where walking the streets would be like walking the streets in Bagdad. That must be why politicians never visit those neighborhods. Now we have big brave McCain saying he wasn't afraid in Bagdad. Funny he never said so when he was back there, only when he is back home thousands of miles aways from there!

[iceman_1960]

"McCain said he would have walked through a central Baghdad market without the military protection, but the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, had recommended the armed escort."

So he was just humoring that silly General Petraeus. That's the only reason he had those "Robocop"-looking bodyguards around him. He didn't want to offend the general or hurt his feelings.

I guess this guy is like D*ick Cheney. He enjoys insulting the intelligence of the American people by telling blatant untruths.

But Cheney isn't running for president.

[ramos937]

McCain is a hero to me and many vets. But, now it is absolutely tragic that his senses have left him. Everybody remembers the reporter - Daniel Something(?) and the young man that evaded the FBI that was trying to send him home from Iraq. The first was kidnapped and the second just gave himself up to the insurgents. Both were beheaded. If McCain is serious, and he was allowed to do what he says, he would first be used for propaganda and then suffer a horrible death.

No doubt about it - No way McCain can become President now. His good common sense has left him.

[truthword]

Fact is these liars won't even walk the streets of america without armed guards, who is he trying to BS? himself?

[sevenveils]

How can you associate a man who was against the Iraqi war from the start with G.W. Bush?
