Great stuff whitetop…As stated, every major city in the US has neighborhoods as dangerous a Fallujah. Much of which can be traced to democratic welfare institutions

So you’re saying we should take the Iraqis off nation-building welfare?

When the troops do come home, let’s keep them out of the danger zones here.

American military deaths in Iraq (May, 2008) 19
Murders in New York City (May, 2008) 43

Amer. military deaths in Iraq (Jan – Apr) 160
Murders in Chicago (Jan-Apr) 134

MSM not keeping score any longer? No wonder.

Aside from military deaths, I would like to know what the murder rate is in Iraq. Is Iraq safer than NYC?

Oh holy “J,M&J” I watched my sainted Mother go down hill this way…

First this…

“[it's] not too important” when [the] troops come home from Iraq…

and then…

“They cling to their guns and the constitution…”; even if BHO didn’t say it!

Well hell..
1] It is, Sir!
2] That’s a damn good thing, Sir!
Olde soldier sends!

Rush just played a clip of John McCain saying, ” I will veto every single BEER that has earmarks.”

How could this senior senior citizen get the nomination? What a joke.

Gee and here I thought Obama was running a high class campaing. Didn’t know lying about your opponents comments was high class. Of course the few reporters that call him on it just let it pass with “I never said that”

It’s not as bad as the headline makes it sound, but you know Obama is going to pounce on this and start repeating it everywhere. McCain has got to be more careful in choosing his words re: Iraq. WisCon on June 11, 2008 at 1:04 PM

No, it's not as bad. Yes, they will pounce on him, lie about what he said and their mind-numbed followers will repeat their version of what McCain said like the good little lemmings that they are. They did so with McCain's 100 years quote and milked that for all its worth. For anyone who hasn't see this video, here is another example of Obama and his clueless followers successfully slandering McCain before. Obama Twists John McCain's Words and Attacks

Great stuff whitetop…As stated, every major city in the US has neighborhoods as dangerous a Fallujah. Much of which can be traced to democratic welfare institutions and the cycle of crime that follows government funding of young women having children out of wedlock. They don’t want to report it and now they don’t want to report the military and political victory in Iraq…

The libs are really trying to seize on the “we care about the troops” line as much as they can. The other day, I caught an Obama add for that show “Army Wives”, in which he talked about supporting our troops and their families. Shameless.

If Senator McCain was cavalier in saying it’s “not too important,” then leftists are gutless femmes in chanting that the troops must run for their lives because they’re all gonna die!

The leftist trope is an attack on the manhood of our troops. But what else is new?

“100 years” = 2 words (or is it actually three?)
“not too important” = 3 words

Let’s put that sort of half-assed quoting to good use…

After Obama was asked, “Do you really think your team can get away with stealing the nomination,” he said “yes we can”.

George W. Bush’s secret MySpace entry:
Hi. My name is United States President George Walker Bush. You can call me the Commander Guy if you want. Or you can just call me The Decider if you want. I am now in my second triumphant term after wining it by an even bigger landslide than I won my first marvelous term by.
I graduated from Yale in June 1968 in the top 99% of my class. Then I went into the Texas Air National Guard. I was a Top Gun and almost single handedly protected America from the Viet Cong. You didn’t see any Viet Cong in America, now did you? Well did you? See. See what I mean.
I am sure to go down in history as one of the greatest Presidents of all time in U.S. history. Probably only after that guy what’s his name George something. Hey, I just thought of it, he had the same first name as me!
After binging peace and tranquility and democracy to Muslim moms and dads in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East, I will now lead Republicans to a clean sweep in 2008 as all Republicans will run on my outstanding legacy. I don’t know how any of them will be able to lose that way. Just wait and see. One success will follow the other as everything I touch just seems to turn to gold.
I sometimes like to chill out after a long day of serving the American people by watching reruns of The Marx Brothers on TV. Don’t you just love those guys? I have learned so much from them and try to make all my cabinet level and department head selections based on their philosophy.
I would like to think that I am open minded, honest, trustworthy and polite except to those damn unpatriotic cut and runner surrender monkeys!!! What is wrong with them anyway? I just don’t get it. Can’t they understand how brilliant my strategy is? Fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here. I know that is the opposite of my philosophy during Vietnam but hey, I like to keep the bad guys guessing! Pretty tricky huh? Kind of like that Niccolo Macaroni guy or that Sun Chop Suey guy. I must say that I am not too fond of that al-Maliki guy anymore, him balking at my status of forces agreement so that we can stay in Iraq forever, in fact I am thinking about what happened to that Ngo Dinh Diem guy in Vietnam. If al-Maliki doesn’t get with my program pretty damn fast and stop making me look bad! Know what I mean don’t you?
Who I’d like to meet:
…. Cool people who live close to Washington D.C. so that we can get together after work, kick back, and have a whole lot of fun while making more plans for more great nation building in the religion of peace part of the world, and maybe even in Iran, with my very best war time advisers Dick, my anointed successor John and his brain Joe.

someone needs to embarrass NBC publicly, and ask if they will now update their ill-founded claim that Iraq was a Civil War, a meme they have since dropped while not acknowledging it.

McCain is completely right here. I’m glad he has stuck to his guns on Iraq, we wouldn’t have the success we have now without him.

McCain always add that Obama wants to put the troops in a base in Kuwait, what difference does it matter if they are in Kuwait or Iraq, especially if our democratic ally in Iraq ask us to stay there in our base.

always include that point.

Paul-Cincy — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:31:42 +0000

What he said was perfectly sensible. You may disagree with it, but don’t go all b!tchcakes on us because he said it’s “not too important” when the troops come home, that casualties are much more important. He’s certainly not “confused” or “out of touch”. If you disagree with McCain we could play the game and say “Gasp! You mean to say casualties AREN’T important?! You’re so confused and out of touch!
