He has plans. Do your research. Atttend a rally. Check his web site. Call his campaign office. I've heard that rederick over and over again and its all based on lack of insight.

Abel mentioned William F. Buckley in his diatribe against the Iraq War. Buckley also opposed the VietNam War. And he went on to be one of the most prolific conservative writers in the country. At one time he ran for Mayor of NYC and lost. But he did say during his campaign that if he won the election, he would demand a recount.This is what Saint B. Hussein Obama ought to do in the unlikely

1. Our whole reason for going to Iraqwas a lie. There were no WMD's and U.N. Sanctions were working.2. We are not the worlds police. The U.N. wouldn't support it and we had no right to go alone. (Oh please...)3. The war was poorly executed and failed to stop a fledgling insurgency in its early stages. (Bush was too busy playing fighter pilot)4. By all accounts the surge is not working. 1/3 of the

Over the past two days, John McCain has repeatedly made the same foreign policy gaffe, confusing Sunnis and Shiites and the relationship between Iran and Al Qaeda. While on a radio show, McCain suggested Iran was training Al Qaeda, and later repeated the claim multiple times in Israel. In the most publicized of those incidents, Senator Joe Lieberman is seen (and heard) correcting McCain, a scene

McCain made the same misstatement to nationally syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt during a March 17 interview, saying, "As you know, there are Al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they're moving back into Iraq." So this was not a one-time slip. Had Clinton or Obama done something like this, this would have been played on a loop, over and over, and

Well actually Iran has been providing insurgents with weapons and al qaeda has been the recipient of the boom booms.

He's almost as bad as the congressional democratic committee head who didn't know what affiliation al qaeda was.

I don't see how we can expect McCain to lead us out of this quagmire, if he cannot even correctly identify the players. Somehow I was expecting more competence from McCain than we got from the Bush administration.

I missed the story about McCain's not knowing the difference. Where is it? Just leave the link in the comments. Thanks.Victoria

And after five years, McCain still does not know the difference between Shiite and Sunni. Obviously a worthy successory of Bush.

Also, Abel, stop making fun of that other guy on the other station. Besides, botox rocks and so does Dr. Waldorf.

Eileen, I've blogged the numbers before. IT's true. More soldiers died on Clinton's watch than died in combat in Iraq. That's partially because training takes lives and, as Lew pointed out, when you cut back, as Clinton did, you cut back on experienced troops.

Even Bill Buckley sees the Iraq War as a total failure. I met him once when he came to speak at my University. He was no knee-jerk and certainly no fool.

Eileen, when politicians cut the Military as severe as the Clinton's and Carter did, peacetime accidents increase.Many have made a big deal out of hte fact that the deaths were mostly due to accidents during those two administrations and under Bush it was due to hostilities. To me, dead is dead, how isn't that important.Besides that, more than a few deaths currently listed under the numbers

during the Clinton administration, an average of 938 American soldiers died each year in the militaryI find this difficult to believe.
