McCain Not As Knowledgeable About Foreign Affairs As They Want Us to Believe!
by bacalove, Sun Aug 24, 2008 at 08:24:15 AM EST

John McCain, "who, despite the hype, doesn't seem to know as much about foreign affairs as they want us to believe!

McCain recently talked at length about problems on the "Iraq/Pakistan border" - the countries are a thousand miles apart. Asked how to deal with Darfur, he mused about "bringing pressure on the government of Somalia". Uh - it's Sudan, Senator McCain. And he keeps expressing his desire to build up US relations with Czechoslovakia, a country that hasn't existed for 15 years." These statements are not made by a man knoweledgeable about foreign affairs!

Those of us who care deeply about the Truth need to debunk this myth that John McCain is knowledegeable about foreign affairs, because it is another lie they want us to swallow. Just because McCain spent five years (5) as a POW prisoner, does not make him an expert on foreign affairs, what it does make him an expert on is on how to survive as a prisoner. Let us not be fooled again, because saying its so, does not make it so.

1. What we need is a foreign policy debate between McCain & Biden
Biden would wipe the floor with him. THAT would expose McCain's ignorance.
