McCain on his Iraq vote: "That's history, that's the past." WTF?!

[mythyc]

In response to Obama's response to Hillary's red phone ad, John McCain wrote:


"That's history, that's the past," McCain said Thursday in Texas of Obama's continued focus on the decision to invade. "That's talking about what happened before. What we should be talking about is what we're going to do now. And what we're going to do now is continue this strategy which is succeeding in Iraq."


That's history!? Excuse me johnny-boy? That's how you're going to handle your faulty, fallacious, fictionalizing, facetious, and --most insulting to not just the American people but the international community-- insolent and megalomaniacal decision to invade Iraq? It's not history: we're still there, by ourselves (notice NO ONE talks about "coalitions of the willing" anymore), not simply attenuating an increasingly precarious American economy and losing American lives but distending a civilian death toll now reaching a million, throwing hundreds of millions of bribery money at corrupt Sunni tribal leaders and Shiite militias not to fight (gee I wonder what they'll do with that money when we're gone,1, 2, 10, 20 years from now), insulting the entire region and fanning the flames of anti-Americanism throughout it and the greater muslim world...

give it up. This is far from history, and you are not going to explain away the FACT that you were GWB's CHIEF ADVOCATE in Congress when his administration/regime and the media were drumming up the beat of war. The American people will not swallow this ridiculous attempt to put behind you, to brush away that vote, and your precociously unethical and damaging war-mongering (wearing the masquerade of patriotism) leading up to the worst foreign policy in the history of this nation. go to hell.

This is why, to me, Obama is right when he says "I can't wait to have that debate with John McCain." bring it on.

Jerk! :mad:

3. Exactly--he wants to run on his POW/military experience, but refuses

to own the fallout of his past legislative decisions. What a hypocritical jackass--but the press will keep polishing his halo anyway, you can bet.

2. His entire life is the past.

Can't bring it up then?

Fine.

4. We need to succeed the course!

We cannot afford to stray!

Yes this is all so different that it is a full 360 turn from yesterdays tired old policies.
