McCain: 'I Know How to Win Wars'
By Juliet Eilperin
ALBUQUERQUE -- Arguing that the status quo in Afghanistan "is not acceptable," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested today the U.S. can win the battle against the Taliban by "applying the tried and true principles of counterinsurgency used in the surge" in Iraq. In a prepared speech peppered with attacks against the presumptive Democratic nominee, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), McCain suggested Obama had been proven wrong in Iraq and lacked the judgment to oversee military forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

"I know how to win wars. I know how to win wars," McCain told the audience at a town hall in Albuquerque. "And if I'm elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory, I know how to do that."
---------------

"Senator Obama is departing soon on a trip abroad that will include a fact-finding mission to Iraq and Afghanistan. And I note that he is speaking today about his plans for Iraq and Afghanistan before he has even left, before he has talked to General Petraeus, before he has seen the progress in Iraq, and before he has set foot in Afghanistan for the first time," McCain said. "In my experience, and I've traveled around the world, usually at your expense, fact-finding missions usually work best the other way around: first you assess the facts on the ground, then you present a new strategy."

25. Hell, he only had ONE aircraft shot down. Three of them he simply crashed during routine training.

28. That would be a good campaign ad. He says I know how to win wars.
Then a shot of a plane crashing. Then he steps out and proclaims "That was the wrong plan". or something like that.

5. His only claim to fame is that he was held prisoner in Nam.
And he's ridden it like a sled for all it's worth.

6. How does crashing five planes and getting captured prove that?
This little sawed off twit actually thinks he's got military command judgment. As if the only thing wrong with the Iraq war has been who was in charge of it.

8. I think he's won the War on Integrity, the War on Logic, the War on Truth,
he's won a lot. At least, so far. He seems to have the media lapping it up.

23. His Navy superiors did not think he knew how to win wars.

Evan having Admirals for a daddy and grandpa could not offset how badly he performed, both at Annapolis and as an officer.

John McFuckup, US Navy.
