“I know how to win wars. I know how to win wars”

[Ravi]

So said John McCain yesterday.

Can anyone tell me what exactly he's done in his life that makes this statement remotely true?

 

[Jeepers]

Hmmm.. The bar scene was utter hell yet Mac managed to both elude the enemy (his wife) and still conquer woman after woman.

Maybe the part he isn't telling us is that he's planning on invading Grenada again?

I'm reasonably certain we can kick their ass, again, and probably even win a peace there, too.

Do they have coconut oil, perhaps?

Cant fight a guerilla war from 30,000 feet... screw this mideast nonsense.. lets pull out and attack grenada again... It worked for Reagan....

YOu actually didnt mention his command controll .. lol.

I think he was referring to the war against common sense.


A vote for John McCain is a vote against the fundamental principle of America, the right of the individual to lead their life privately without the government interfering.

All wars should be fought hand to hand and those in favor of war should be the first to go. Sending rockets removes the human element, it make death a video game. As the war nuts die they should be encased in plastic and shown to the youth of the world.

We lost Vietnam. We're not doing well in Afghanistan. Iraq is questionable.

i have an idea. how bout we dont get into pointless wars?

I got an idea... stop having peacenicks think that they get to decide what is a pointless war...

This is the real world, not John Lennon's "Imagine".... evil and enemies exist, allies get attacked, despots don't comply to cease-fire agreements, etc... you don't just turn the other cheek, you don't assume that if you ignore it that it will go away

I imagine people that are against unjustified wars are just as capable of deciding as people that can't wait to shoot off a gun.

So, what did McCain ever do that qualifies him to make that statement?

See Kuwait


and before you go off with the typical lib retort of "no, I mean the 2nd war"... remember that there is no second war... it is a continuation of the first that was justified because of Iraq's refusal to comply with the terms of the cease-fire agreement (and remember that a cease-fire does not mean the end of war... just the suspension of hostilities with conditions attached)

What self-serving silliness.... (I hope you like the alliteration).

There are two, count 'em, gulf wars. One was handled by Daddy, who did a good job and listened when his state department said "don't go to Baghdad".

The other is the nightmare war of choice run by Baby....

You can spin it any way you'd like.... but you're being disingenuous.
