Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsSwiftboating at 35,000 feet? Truth or Spin?clipped by: righthandclippers remarks: What of this statement is untrue? 35,000 feet? Dropping ordnance from above with every chance of hitting civilians? So he blames those who gave the order? So who will he blame if hes the commander-in-chief? Is he a communist sleeper after all the brain washing? Indeed there was not much there to wash. Bottom 10 of 500, wasnt it. Sitting in a POW camp is all he remembers. Some hero. Opinion John McCain Fails His Pilot Test"McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesnt know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues." Senator Jay Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, made about McCains service in Vietnam McCain and his supporters are hyper-sensitive about discussions of the Arizona senators service as a fighter pilot and a prisoner of war. So they go crazy whenever anyone deviates from the campaigns official story-line McCains response was to send a supporter to launch a silly, bombastic attack on one of the presumptive Republican presidential nominees fellow senators he would know that John McCain wasnt dropping laser-guided missiles at 35,000 feet in 1967." Thats about as embarrassing a load of political spin as you will find this year.  zum Artikel...

Obama, in my opinion, made the most salient point: we will not be able to get everything we want from Iraq. We need to be honest about that. For the past three years, Bush has shown no strategy aside from throwing more American blood and treasure into the vacum of chaos he created. He is biding his time, simply prolonging the disaster so he wont have to suffer the indignity of retreat. Hes saving that for his hapless successor. The disgusting truth is that, while we cant get everything we want from Iraq, it dont have to lose so much. Allow me to outline the compromises I think we need to make: At hearings, a chance to explain Iraq views and audition as commander in chiefObama, who spoke the longest and latest of the three, said that the presence of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and increased Iranian influence in the country were a direct result of the decision to invade, but politely excused Petraeus and Crocker from blame. "You are cleaning up the mess afterward," he said. "What conditions would have to exist for you to recommend to the president that the current strategy is not working?" Clinton asked Petraeus, with only a slight edge of exasperation in her voice. The conditions, she added, "are unclear, they lack specificity." "Whats the lesson that were to draw from that, that 1,000 Iraqi Army and police deserted or underperformed?" McCain asked. WILLARD " They told me that you had gone totally insane and that your methods were unsound."
KURTZ " Are my methods unsound?"
WILLARD " I dont see any method at all, sir." zum Artikel...Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
