John McCain, today: "I know how to win wars."

[flpoljunkie]

Really, now? And, which war was it that you 'won?'

Has anyone in the 'lap dog' media commented how ridiculous this brazen assertion by John McCain is--let alone bother to inform us that McCain's major foreign policy adviser is neocon Randy Scheunemann, President of the Committee to Liberate Iraq, and founding PNAC board member. Or, that McCain was a Co-Chair of the CLI, along with his good buddy, honorary Co-Chair, Joe Lieberman.

If they have, I confess I missed it.

1. Then why don't you tell us how, John?

Instead of waiting to make you president before telling us your secret way to win the war?

[livetohike]

2. Interesting. Did he learn how to win wars while graduating

near the bottom of his class at the Academy??? Such an idiot.

[hobbit709]

3. Maybe the Punic Wars.

He's old enough.

4. I know this will not earn me any friends, but I am sick of tiptoeing

around McCains military service...

Since when is being tortured as a POW a strategy for winning wars? That would be like a passenger on the Titanic saying "I know how to design transatlantic luxury liners"; it's not their fault the ship went down, it's not disrespectful of their suffering, but it is in fact bullshit!

6. let it out

don't you feel better?

personally, i've been calling these so-called credentials a bunch of manufactured bullmess for a while now, and my heart feels free :)

[mcctatas]

20. It actually does make me feel better!

Cathartic and cleansing, better than an enema any day (or so I am assuming)...

[jaysunb]

5. Like in the card game ? or video game

Evidently that's what he means.....:evilfrown:

[indepat]

7. If only McShame knew how to win the peace by not rattling the saber and maybe starting an illegal

war of aggression. :shrug: :D

[LeftyMom]

8. Which explains our remarkable victory in Vietnam.

Oh, wait...

:eyes:

[harun]

9. How bout the MSM asks him to define "winning" a war?

Occupying it for 100 years?
Making the people submit to the will of a foreign power?
Control the assets?
Install puppets that do your bidding?
Kill everyone?
Imprison everyone?
Loot the country?
Have permanent bases?
etc.

10. McCain "won" the Vietnam war by crashing 5 planes and getting captured (n/t)

[WinkyDink]

11. Maybe so. But how about Illegal Invasions with War Crimes?

[mitchum]

12. And the North Vietnamese Army thanks him for his contributions

[anonymous171]

13. McCain thinks that we lost Vietnam because of a drop in public opinion

Not because of casualties or anything. Public fucking Opinion.

[flpoljunkie]

16. And that, 'my friends,' is truly delusional.

[TexasObserver]

14. Really John?! Which war was it you knew how to win?

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

15. Yeah I heard this shit on NPR... What a bunch of BS..Which war did he win? Vietnam?

Oh, that's right, none. F*cking McLiar.

[SurfingAtWork]

17. Replace "win wars" with "get airplanes I fly shot down"

and I couldn't agree with him more.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. Beating your grandchildren at "Risk" doesn't count, asswipe...

nt

[opihimoimoi]

19. Only a truly desperate candidate would make such a stupid statement

Just like Bush...he is talking down to us...him expecting we swallow his shit

The man has his neurons in a bunch...all mixed up

[JoFerret]

21. Panama

Grenada?

[grantcart]

22. easy deal - and when he gets too pissed off and frustrated as president he will do it too
