Is Baghdad safer? CNN's Michael Ware to John McCain's comment

[NightWatcher]

MW: sorry if I cant hear you Wolfe, it's because of the helicopter and the gunfight going on behind me
(skip)

MW: So no, Wolfe. John McCain is wrong if he thinks that Baghdad is any safer.

[Catherine Vincent]

1. Ha!

[babylonsister]

2. Smack! Take that, weathervane mccain! nt

[malaise]

3. LOL

Now that's a smackdown.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. hoo boy. What a smackdown. McCain appears delusional

I am sorry. I need to strike the word "appears"

[EarlG]

5. Ware just said a westerner wouldn't last 20 minutes

on any street in Baghdad. He's trashing McCain up and down...

[NightWatcher]

6. Wolfe: Can a "westerner" stroll to a coffee shop?

MW: No, Wolfe, It cant happen.

MW: I dont know what Sen. McCain is talking about.

MW: People are still dying in the dozens everyday. We are still finding bodies on the roads every morning here. US troops are still getting killed here daily. Is anyone paying attention to deadlines here, NO.

7. Ware is still talking and he is funny...

I just wonder if cafferty is sitting in a corner cracking up at Ware's comments - to wit, "I don't know what corner of Neverland McCain is living in."

Well, Mike, when you find out, let us know so we can rope it off and keep the kooks inside.

8. Someone needs to tell Ware that CNN is a repuke sounding board

The truth is not welcome there

[ClusterFreak]

9. Bitch.

Slap.

Right on, Michael.

10. Gosh. Guess I'd better cancel my reservations at the

Hyatt Regency Baghdad Grande Resort and Spa.

Darn. And they had such great rates, too...

:rofl:

12. Michael Ware has done some great reporting from Iraq.

I've heard him interviewed on a couple of talk radio shows, and was very impressed with his candor, even way back when, when the majority of people thought the war was going well. I hope he is keeping safe.

[NightWatcher]

13. funny how the truth slips out from the guy in Baghdad

While all the New Yorkers and DC'ers can play politics

[trof]

14. Boy, Ware was just ALL OVER McCain.

For a purported 'reporter' and not an editorial 'commentator' he was just ON McCain's case.
"I'd last about 20 minutes "strolling down the street" (McCain claimed in many parts of Baghdad you can do this)) outside of the Green Zone."

[thereismore]

15. McCain is DEVORCED FROM REALITY. To quote Gannon... nt

[trof]

16. Also, I gotta admire a guy with a schnoz like that

who doesn't get a nose job.
When he looks north, his nose points west.
Musta been a rugby player.

[gatorboy]

17. Are they kidding? Speaking ENGLISH will get you killed.

Translators fear for their lives in that area.

18. McLame needs another operation

to remove his head out of his ass.
