Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed," the likely presidential nominee said in a speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. "We need to listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies," McCain added.

Where WERE YOU McSame when that pathetic LOSER you call a LEADER was LYING to and insulting those very people you say we should be pals with. Now why would they trust YOU? ROFLMAO Sieg Heil Bush

MCSAME!!!! We were cooperating!!! That is until the GOP started beating the war drums spookin gAmerica in to war.......
"We had a good discussion, the Foreign Minister and I and the President and I, had a good discussion about the nature of the sanctions -- the fact that the sanctions exist -- not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein''s ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq...Colin Powell %u2013 February 2001

But in terms of Saddam Hussein being there, let''s remember that his country is divided, in effect. He does not control the northern part of his country. We are able to keep arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt.

"McCain said: "I hold my position because I hate war, and I know very well and very personally how grievous its wages are. But I know, too, that we must sometimes pay those wages to avoid paying even higher ones later."


And what did we gain from the Vietnam War, John?

John McBushit seems to have forgotten any lessons he may once have learned.

It''s due to hitting his head as he fell to his knees to kiss the ring of the Proddie Pope, the late Jerry Falwell, and due to lack of oxygen from having his nose buried deep in Cheney''s colon.

"Instead, he said, the country must lead by attracting others to its cause, demonstrating the virtues of freedom and democracy, defending the rules of an international civilized society and creating new international institutions."

Aren''t other countries, particularly Europe, still pissed about Bush''s decision to unilaterally invade Iraq given that they were all privy to the same pool of intelligence and knew he was lying?

In light of that, I would guess McCain''s words sound like he NOW after voting to go to war unilaterally wants other countries'' help in bailing him out of his messes. I mean THAT''s how he thinks he''s going to bond with other countries - over the ideas of ''freedom'' and ''democracy''? Really, given the way he''s signed onto King George''s tyrannical quest for global domination?

I don''t see that happening . . . I read on ABC that the world is enchanted with Barack and Hillary because everybody wants a change . . .

Where was McCain before this? Now that he is a candidate for office, all of a sudden he has developed a sense of decency? Too little, too late, my old, boot-licking, flip-flopping friend.
