Insane McCain and his crystal ball. Most Troops Will Be Home by 2013

    How can anybody in their right state of mind support this idiot? Unless you are either related to him or come from the same mental institution you should never ever vote for him.

    “By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom,’’ Mr. McCain said at the Columbus Convention Center. “The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.’’

    http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/mccain-troops-may-be-home-by-2013/

    Fact check.
    1. Iraq has/had nothing to do with 9/11 or with the insecurity of the United States.
    2. This war is illegal and in no way related to our security.
    3. Iraq was stable until we got there.
    4. The sacrifices in Iraq were made for Halliburton and private contracting firms NOT the security of the US.
    Urghhhhh!!!!!!

    Are you speaking in first person again?


    No one ever said it had anything to do with 9/11... Well, no one outside of the moonbats on planet freakazoid.

    The war was not illegal. And what it is related to is the war on terror. President Bush issued a mandate shortly after 9/11. He said we would go after "the terrorists" and "the nations that harbor them".... That is exactly what we are doing.

    We are fighting "terrorists" and "terrorism" in general. Not 9/11, not Bin Dead for a Long Timin Laden...

    Iraq was a dictatorship, run by a man that tortured and terrorized his people and his neighbors.

    When you find another contractor that is qualified to do what Halliburton does, let me know. Until then, try watching a balanced mix of news before resorting to a canned Olbermann soliloquy.

    You've started some useless threads before, but this one really takes the cake.

    Egads... You aren't the guy flying that rocket around Lake Geneva are you?

    WWIII has been here for some time now. McCain is about as equal to Bush as Hillary Clinton is to Obama.... They are nearly polar opposites on monetary policy, the war, and on and on.

    Liberals dating back to FDR. But without us, you'd never be able to enjoy your neutrality.

    Christ... I'm assuming that history, much like English for you is a foreign language. When you've taken the time to actually explore reality let me know... If not, please don't bother posting anymore.

    Actually, Rumsfeld and Colin Powell did. As did Cheney and maybe Bush as well. If you read Kucinich's case for impeachment, he has it all documented.

    Iraq didn't harbor terrorists. Saddam didn't allow terrorists under his watch. As for the legality of the war, Kofi Annan seemed to believe it was illegal, and theres a pretty big group of scholars, on the left and right who tend to believe. iirc, Preemptive war is a war crime.

    FYI, the President can't issue a mandate. He has to be given one by the Congress. Perhaps you miswrote that.

    Apparently the government still believes Bin Laden is alive, as do former CIA agents like Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA Bin Laden unit.

    If you have knowledge of his death, you should contact your local FBI office.

    As far as "terrorists" and "terrorism" in general, I believe you are incorrect. In Iraq, we're fighting Iraqi nationals who want the occupation over, and the Iranian sponsored government thrown out. In Afghanistan, we're fighting the Taliban, who are not terrorists, but the former regime.

    We supported that Dictator when he tortured and terrorized his people. In my mind, that makes his crimes the last thing we of all people should be condemning.

    You're starting to sound like a socialist Democrat. Careful pal, I had high hopes for you.

    Haliburton has no competitors because it has a government no-bid monopoly. If the bid process was opened up, competitors would flock to such a hyper lucrative industry.

    Not really. The USA harbours the MKO, a terrorist organization that sets off bombs in Iran, but I guess when you have a common enemy, you can bend the rules.

    They all did, and it is well known that they did too. I'm amazed Mia still has the nerve to come on this forum and defend terrorists like Bush and Cheney after all the lies, all the cirruption, all the destruction and the thousands of innocent people killed on their watch, including over 4,000 US troops sent to their death on a massive lie. :mad:

    When you say MOK, you mean the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran correct?

    They are not designated by the US as a terrorist organization. What is your source for that claim?

    My source that you are wrong is the 2008 list of US designated foreign terrorist organizations:

    The nutjob that saw a UFO? It's a common misperception by those on the left and those who pretend to be on the right, that 9/11 was because of Iraq. Then again, some are so delusional, that the let alex jones do their thinking that it was the US government. Kinda hard to believe, huh guerilla?

    This is incorrect. I've corrected this opinion (not facts) before. Saddam did harbor terrorists. I remember the capture of Abu Abbas when it happened. Additionally, saddam paid terrorists for their work.

    Other than a lack of knowledge, I can't see why anyone would assert something so absurd, other than to mislead, or protect a group of people saddam supported and gave sanctuary to. Can you?

    Congress gave it's mandate.

    This opinion doesn't hold water. Time and again, reports of al qaida deaths in Iraq, or senior leaders, comes to mind. al qaida was in Iraq before the war and has been since since saddam was defeated. I don't believe Canada is fighting in Iraq though. They are doing work there, training police.

    The Taliban were terrorists, however, it does not surprise me that you would be so brave as to defend them otherwise.

    Depends on what "we" refers to here. You may be part of an organization that did support such, I'm not sure. However, the US did not support saddam doing this and as a result of his actions, the US quickly started severing ties with him.

    For the second sentence, again, it depends on what "we" you belong to. Then again, you've never been one to condemn the crimes of terrorists. I see no reason you should start now.

    I disagree. But it sure beats sounding like a spokesperson for al qaida.

    This is absurd, as usual. Haliburton has been used for many years, before Bush was ever around. There are no other companies that offer such services on such a broad scale.

    It's obvious then that you are not familiar with largest military contractors operating globally. And I'm wondering what sort of business you do, because no-bid, is not the same as "only one bid received". That to me is absurd.

    I ignored the rest of your post. You're badly out of touch with foreign policy developments. :) If you need a list of threads to check out, let me know. I've tried to keep the latest info posted.

    You are too kind. Thanks, but I can read Iran's press releases on my own ;)

    Maybe it's not everyone else that is out of touch?

    Yes, I remember when Iran released a press release endorsing Ron Paul. Certainly no surprise to anyone. I believe most terrorists would have preferred him. Such a shame :D

    They changed their mind and endorsed Huck. He fits in with the Mullahs and Ayatollahs.

    Here, let a 16 year old prove you wrong:

    Hmm... Ok, so when TERRORISTS attack U.S. Embassies, that doesn't relate to our security? So you are saying, that the only time we should get involved is if we are DIRECTLY impacted? Have you heard of WWI or WWII? We(the U.S.) Stayed neutral, thinking the conflict in the eastern hemisphere will never touch us, after all, we are "invincible"!? Well, on May 7, 1915, the British passenger ship, the Lusitania, was destoyed by the German U-boat (The U-20), and on January 16, 1917, the German ambassador Arthur Zimmerman, telegrammed Mexico to lead an offensive on the U.S.. These, and several other factors, led to the U.S. becoming involved in the War, several years after it began. The U.S.'s neutrality and "we are untouchable" attitude, which you are showing now, dragged the war out, if the U.S. would have gotten involved earlier, then the war would have been alot shorter, and WWII might never of happened. Speaking of WWII, the U.S. ignored, IGNORED, the problems abroad due to the depression, and guess what happened... In 1933 Adolf Hitler came to power, several years later, he established the Socialists party, aka: The Nazis. Japan began to mobilize and take over small countries in the early 30's... But the U.S. stayed neutral. The U.S. had established itself as a world power in the late 1800's, had the responsibility, which we also do now, to intervene, but NO! We have our own problems here! We can't protect innocent people in other countries. Because of our selfish, ignorant, isolationist views allowed the killings of millions and millions of lives lost... Japan, and Germany could have been stopped if we would have intervened BEFORE we did, and millions could have been saved... If we pull out of Iraq, then the same thing will happen. Hundreds of thousands of people will die, and more terrorist attacks will follow... We MUST finish what we started, and establish a proper democracy, and stabilize the Iraqi police force! An Iraqi political leader, I forget what he was exactly, even said that Iraq is not ready to be fully independent.
    How is this? Saddam Hussein was torturing and killing people! How is that stable? The terrorist forces WERE the military, they were under a dictatorship! How is this stable???


    My God... if Clinton or Obama wins... It will be the end... of US!!! We are gonna get our (insert bodypart here!) kicked! Just like in WWI, The enemy is watching... They want a democrat to win.... Germany waited to enforce USW until Wilson was reelected, which was when they knew the U.S. would not become involved... Al Quida (How u spell that?) and the everyone over there are crossing there fingers, hoping,praying, that a Democrat will win, then they will strike... And I swear to God, if anyone makes a reference to the neutrality of Canada...

    The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.

    If anyone will kick Americas ass it will be the corrupt people controlling America, the neocon scumbags, not no ghostlike al-CIAda bullshit or anything like that. If you honestly think that McCain is going to be the one to save America then you are more insane than he is lol, McCain, Hilldog or Obama, they will all be an absolute disaster because they are all PUPPETS of the New World Order.
