He says he agrees with Osama bin Laden that the battleground should be Iraq.

And of course, that we should stay there for the next 100 years.

...

Isn't that kind of like getting your foot caught in a bear trap in the woods, then telling passersby that you're not going to try to get yourself out because you don't want to risk getting caught in bear traps within your own house?

While you slowly bleed to death.

In addition, if both McCain and Osama bin Laden agree that the battleground should be Iraq, doesn't that mean that one of them must be making a bad choice, because the battleground has to be better for one of them as opposed to the other. And looking at the past, I don't know, five years, it seems to me like the battleground is more suited for Al Qaida and the insurgents. Just a hunch:



Someone's got to tell John McCain that we can't keep ourselves in Osama bin Laden's bear trap anymore...
