Comments on: McCain: "I Know How To Win Wars"

The idea that America might entrust its security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an ability to get anything of significance done is scary.

I would not agree with statement - he was elected to the House and Senate, and beat the presummed Democratic Presidential nominee (who had a huge head start in name recognition and political backing).

Bet Hillary would reluctantly agree on the last one.

i heard this comment last night and couldn''t help but think, "what war is it that he has won?" i have nothing but respect for sen. mccain, and his experience as a pow in vietnam is something i wouldn''t wish on anyone, but let''s get real here. we lost in vietnam. we lost big, both in terms of lives and our stated objectives. if that''s his referent in saying that he knows how to win wars, heaven help us.

The Associated Press offers up another box of donuts, with sprinkles and love, to John McCain.

Fruitless though his efforts were, Obama devoted more than 100 pages to his experiences at Altgeld Gardens and surrounding areas. Michelle Obama has said his work as a community organizer helped him decide %u201Chow he would impact the world,%u201D assisting people to improve their lives. Yet, in a revealing passage in his book, Obama wrote, %u201CWhen classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn%u2019t answer them directly.%u201D

Thus, Obama admitted that he accomplished little but that he was able to cover that up with fancy talk about change.
Contrary to Obama%u2019s portrayal of himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in action.

In sum, it would be difficult to imagine a more mediocre record. Most candidates for dog catcher have contributed more to society. Yet with the help of adoring reporters, Obama has managed to parlay extraordinary speaking and political skills into a presidential campaign built on sand.

The idea that America might entrust its security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an ability to get anything of significance done is scary.

Look for John McCain to begin exploiting this vulnerability after Labor Day

McCain: "I know how to win wars."
What a stupid statement.
Statements like that scare me.
These are the sort of inane statements toosed around at lection time.
Makes no sense.
Gimme a break.
Sheeeeesh!

McCain states that he knows how to win wars. I forget, what war was it that Mccain has won?

[indyvet66]

McCain does not know how to win wars. He knows how to start wars.

McCain, Cheney and Bush do not want out of Iraq. They want a continuing American military presence in the Middle East.

Remember, McCain was one of the principal advocates for the war in the first place.

As a leading Republican Senator, John McCain could have impeded the Iraq war. Instead, John McCain and George Bush started an unnecessary war that caused the deaths of more than 4,000 American soldiers and wasted more than $1 Trillion.

Now John McCain opposes the Iraqi Government exercising it''s sovereignty by telling the U.S. when it''s time to leave.

Wake up America! John McCain is a Neocons Warmonger.

He knows how to win wars? From being a pow? how does that make sense. he has never had to make that kind of decision.

OVER 60% OF THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE BABY BOOMERS!!

It''s not the Democrats. It''s not the Republicans. It''s

SIXTEEN YEARS OF BABY BOOMERS.

Slick Willy is a Boomer. Dubya is a Boomer. Hillary is a Boomer. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Boomer. Joseph Hazelwood is a Boomer. 60% of Congress are Boomers.
