Your commen about mccain not beig a good pilot because he was shot down. This would only be relevant if he had helped shoot himself down. As for his standing at Anapolis, anyone graudating from there should be recognized. Just grauduating from there is an honor. I was an average student thru high school, but i graduated college with honors.

It''s about time America had a black president. Other countries like Haiti and almost all of Africa have had black leaders for a long time and look what a wonderful job they''ve done there.

Obama is naive and inexperienced. He is not qualified to be President . End of story. No point putting a spin on it. Just as you would not allow a medical intern to perform surgery on yourself, I don''''t want a political novice to be President of this great nation.

The biggest problem with trying to bash Obama''s record is . . .

He doesn''t have one to bash.

Nuf'' said.

Keep prancing around like the nice little brainwashed lemmings you Liberals are.

The three monkey show you are putting on with Obama, The Do-Nothing Democrat Congress, and the 3 stooges (Pelosi, Reid and Murtha) is fun to watch.

No actually it was the lefty Congress who after seeing oil raise decided that Iraq should pay them back. That''s their solutions. They are pigs. Whent he price of oil went up they cried that Iraq should give us oil; then they cried that the oil industry should be nationalized, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO drilling, no nuclear, no clean coal. Just wind and solar. Chimps.

Secret US plans for Iraq''s oil

The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq''s oil before the 9/11 attacks, sparking a policy battle between neo-cons and Big Oil, BBC''s Newsnight has revealed.
Two years ago today - when President George Bush announced US, British and Allied forces would begin to bomb Baghdad - protesters claimed the US had a secret plan for Iraq''s oil once Saddam had been conquered.

In fact there were two conflicting plans, setting off a hidden policy war between neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, on one side, versus a combination of "Big Oil" executives and US State Department "pragmatists".

"Big Oil" appears to have won. The latest plan, obtained by Newsnight from the US State Department was, we learned, drafted with the help of American oil industry consultants.

Insiders told Newsnight that planning began "within weeks" of Bush''s first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the US.

John McBush volunteered to serve his country and did so. He deserves our respect for his service. Nobody who hasn''t gone through the torture he endured can say that they would have refused to make the North Vietnamese propaganda videos he made with any certainty.

He graduated at Annapolis, but for the son and grandson of 4-star admirals to finish so near the bottom of his class means either laziness or below average intellect and we have seen the energy he devotes to work. He''s not lazy. His record as a pilot isn''t outstanding either. Most pilots flew more missions without being shot down, so his ability as a pilot seems below average.

I respect him for his service but his military service record doesn''t qualify him to be commander-in chief. After 7 years of a low-C presidency, it''s time we had a smarter than average president.

General Clark is right period a tried and test Gereral. Oh wait that only applies to the ones that you are in agreement with.

One thing that can never ever be questioned and that is John McCain''s allegiance and devotion to this country.

[standlee5]

Stand Stong and Stand Proud, John McCain. We know who you are and what you''re made of. You will make a wonderful president.
