"John McCain knows how to win a war"-

[Bluerthanblue]

....

am I way off base here- did we 'win' Vietnam? Has he participated in any other 'war' that 'we' supposedly 'won'?


Does being a POW mean that you 'won' a war?


Palin repeating that meme really made me listen and question what that really means.


:shrug:

1. Noticed the exact same thing

Which war did he win?

[justiceischeap]

2. I had the same reaction as you (eom)

[vanderBeth]

3. I can't connect the dots.

[Betsy Ross]

4. Only McShame knows, but he won't tell us

unless we elect him. He's been called out on that before. Failin didn't get the email because McShame couldn't send it.

[codjh9]

5. Same ol' bullshit. And btw, Iraq hasn't really been a 'war' since we took Saddam out;

it's only been an occupation, and our troops are sitting ducks! So how do we WIN that, exactly?

[knowbody0]

16. by killing each and every Iraqi.

[codjh9]

30. And sadly, we have some fine red-blooded 'mericuns who actually wouldn't give a

crap if that's what we DID do! They say things like 'We oughta just nuke 'em all over there'. God it's embarrassing. Maddening.

[knowbody0]

31. we share our air with them

their children mingle with ours. frightening

[WorseBeforeBetter]

6. I thought the same exact thing.

What war did McCain win? And why does no one ask how we measure/define 'winning' in Iraq?

[and-justice-for-all]

7. He was in a 'war', if you want to call it that, which we lost...

MAJOR! and how many plains did you crash in the process while fire bombing villages?

[Left Is Write]

8. That was a huge "WTF?" moment for me.

[Bluerthanblue]

21. I've heard it said before- but her delivery tonite made it ring hollow-

and very UN true.

It's good to know others heard it differently too-

:hi:

[tularetom]

9. I've always wondered how he would know how to win a war

He's been in one war and he spent most of that in a box. How that qualifies him to know how to win a war is beyond me. Shit, he barely knows how to fly an airplane.

[Yes We Did]

10. Me Too. Since when does...

Getting captured and telling national secrets help you win a war?

[knowbody0]

11. John McCain's wet dream

getting back at them Russians for the missle that shot him down in Vietnam. He will never surrender. Note how excited he was about Georgia?

[mscuedawg]

12. If McCain has his way...to WIN Iraq....

he's been quoted as saying he doesnt care HOW LONG it takes...even if it takes a HUNDRED YEARS...he wont have those soldiers come home until they come home "heros"...

Excuse me, "my friend"...they come home heroes whether you win or not...have you forgotten about your POW status that you are so willing to use to further your political agenda...

:mad:

[TNMOM]

13. fuck that. McShame knows how to prolong a war.

[AlCzervik]

14. we must have all had the same collective moment--"Which war?"

[truebrit71]

18. My wife and I looked at each other and said "huh"?

LOL!!!

[lolamio]

27. My husband and I had the same moment! lol!

[truebrit71]

15. Really? Which one you fucking vapid twit?

...Stupid is as stupid does...

[Clio the Leo]

17. I was SCREAMING at the TV at that point and my father said....

..... "he cant even ditch a plane right."

[ecstatic]

19. In my best Couric voice..."Not to belabor the point, but can you please cite an example

of a war that McCain won in his 72 years? "

[TheDonkey]

20. Canned line from one of the handlers. Bizzare and obviously a lie, MSM and rethugs will eat it up

[tigereye]

22. actually he saw very little action and spent most of the time in a POW camp

sadly, but that was the case from what I have been told.


on edit, most Americans feel that this war will not be won, and that is the problem...

[defendandprotect]

23. Maybe she meant..."Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran....." ????

Neo-con diplomacy --??

[csziggy]

24. Didn't Keit bring that up in the past when McCain has made that claim?

If McCain knows how to win a war, especially if he knows how to win the war in Iraq or the war in Afghanistan or the war on terror, isn't it treason if he does not share that knowledge with the leader of the country or at least the leader of his party?

"Country First" my ass - McCain just wants to outrank his father. He's another case of arrested development total failure trying to show up his father, just like Bush.

[stillcool]

25. Makes you wonder..

who he's been fighting.

[Monk06]

26. A hint that the US lost the VN war. Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh city

BTW John you spent four extra years in the
Hanoi Hilton because of Nixon. So why are
you a Republican?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

28. what war did he win?

[SwampG8r]

29. that is the most

deeply entrenched case of stockholm syndrome i have ever heard of


hey mccain?.....your side didnt win in VN
