McCain Ad Blasts Obama On Iraq, Afghanistan
As Obama prepares for his long-awaited trip overseas, the McCain campaign is out with a new ad criticizing Obama on Iraq and Afghanistan and accusing the Democrat of changing his positions for political expediency. In the ad, an announcer intones: “Barack Obama never held a single Senate hearing on Afghanistan. He hasn't been to Iraq in years. He voted against funding our troops. Positions that helped him win his nomination. Now Obama is changing, to help himself become president. John McCain has always supported our troops. And the surge that's working. McCain: Country first.”
According to the campaign, the ad will be part of the campaign's current buy on national cable and in the battleground states of Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania Virginia and Wisconsin. Watch it below:

Wrong, Obama sits on the Senate Foreign Relations committee and they held a hearing last year. So, strike one.

"He hasn''t been to Iraq in years."
Umm, actually, Senator Obama''s there right now, strike two.
"He voted against funding our troops."
Oh, now he''s just going senile. Sydney, you MISSED that vote. HR 2642 was written into law at the end of last month. Apparently you were too busy campaigning to support the troops.

First he mentions Czechoslovakia last week (a country that hasn''t existed for a decade), now he''s talking about a fictional world where Iraq and Afghanistan are next to each other on the map?! And there are people out there that think McCain is in any way qualified to become president!? He doesn''t even know the location (or existence) of the countries he''s talking about!
McCain is more of the SAME!
Louis Farrakhan, anti semitic, radical, Nation of Islam leader supports Obama. He held a rally with 20,000 islam members in Chicago.
Obama''s father was a non practicing Muslim. How do the Muslim nations view Obama. Why shouldn''t that be a proper question to ask Obama?
Watch his followers:

It''s scary and the media should be talking about Obama''s relationships with radical leaders and anti American supporters as much as they should be reporting about a nominee that was being supported by the KKK.
What''s wrong with the media. What are they afraid of?
Lets elect Obama, put Cheney and Buch in JAIL for their War Crimes lying us into a Needless War of death and destruction, and end this endless NeoCon Nightmare
Again.
You are out of date.
out of time.
out of touch.
out of sense.
Complains about Obama not going to Iraq.

What does this McCain the "Straight Shooter" want ?
McCain likes to say that he knows how to win wars. What? McCain knows how to start wars!
McCain%u2019s Iraq war has been a dangerous and wasteful distraction from the real right focus of the war on terror, Afghanistan. Obama has strongly recommending sending more soldiers to Afghanistan for a long time. McCain has long opposed sending in those additional troops because they have been tied down in Iraq. Now, McCain has completely moved to Obama%u2019s position on Afghanistan and wants to send in even more soldiers. Better late than never John McCain.
McCain has long been critical of Obama intention to negotiate with Iran. Now the Bush administration has finally and appropriately started the negotiation process with Iran''s top nuclear negotiator.
Senator Obama does not have McCain%u2019s 20 years of experience, but he is much wiser and exceptionally well informed.
Obama has the ability and judgment to lead this nation to a more promising future.
In contrast, McCain lacks that judgment and promises more of the same stupid foreign policy mistakes of the disastrous Bush Administration.
Really now, we can%u2019t afford to have any more of McCain%u2019s kind of %u201Cexperience%u201D.
At least his response to Prime Minister Maliki support of Obama''s troop withdrawal plan is hillarious.
Buddy, all you have left in your bag of tricks is more name-calling and misrepresentation.
The fact is that Iraqi%u2019s want their country back and they want the U.S. out. P.M. Maliki says that the withdrawal of U.S. troops (as the Iraqis continue to handle their own affairs) will be a victory for America.
Most Americans agree; except for McCain and his neocon followers.
Even Bush is starting to warm to the idea of a timetable for withdrawal that Obama has been advocating for years.
The truth is that you want more war. Maybe you are yearning for the %u201Crapture.%u201D
The truth is that McCain lacks that judgment and promises more of the same stupid foreign policy mistakes of the disastrous Bush Adminstration.
Really now, we can%u2019t afford to have any more of McCain%u2019s kind of %u201Cexperience%u201D.
You should ask yourself, %u201CAre you better off now than you were 8 years ago?%u201D If not, then vote Obama in 08.
Knowledge from prison?
Give me a break.
I do usknowledge courage ( same as of many other people) , but WHERE is a proof - he can command(when do not know even names, countriesm, facts)????
As poor beer-owner could not use internet - maybe some one from his staff will make some lectures for him...
about World politics.
Still want elect him?
what a shame!
It''''''''''''''''s not so much about bringing democracy to iraq as it is stopping radical muslim terrorists from exterminating our society.

Hellooooooo---lets get to the beginning of Iraq---Bin laden was never there--get it? Sadam was just one of the excuses Bush made to invade Iraq---Sadam had NOTHING to do with 911--remember 911?
Sadam/911---no connection.
Bush USED 3000 murdered Americans as an excuse/lie to get the oil in Iraq.
Man some people are just plain happy being stuck on stupid!
