McCain to Obama: Iraq War Is Changing

...

"If Senator Obama could take a few minutes out of his day to examine the early progress made by General Petraeus, I think he would realize the status quo is changing," McCain said.

Earlier in the day, Obama, an Illinois senator, said McCain wants an indefinite occupation in Iraq, which Obama said would lead to spending $100 billion a year and thousands of Americans dying while the United States loses its standing in the world.

"I don't think that serves the best interests of the United States," Obama said on CNN. "And I don't think it will ultimately result in the kind of stabilization in Iraq that's necessary."

McCain, who spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, declined a chance to criticize actress Jane Fonda for her visits to North Vietnam during the war.

1. Obama and McCain have an old score to settle--remember that

nasty letter McCain sent him a year or so ago?

4. McCain is trying to be Bush, but doesn't seem to realize

that nobody likes Bush anymore.

2. I'd bet good money on Senator Obama in this debate. McCain's

dangerous alignment with the Bush surge reveals questionable judgment.

3. I watched McCain tonight....he's toast....he makes junior look tuned in.

5. Good for Obama

Points for him!

6. Just because you were a soldier, even a prisoner of war,

doesn't mean you know diddley about how to conduct a war or end one. Enough of John McCain, the hero/expert on this stuff. He doesn't know what he's talking about and someone ought to tell him that to his face!

7. Did any of the news frogs confront McCain with

Michael Ware's trouncing of him yesterday?

8. Yes, hardcore.

I can't remember who did it, but I'm thinking it was on one of the morning shows (?) by somebody named Roberts (?) on CNN (?). They played all of the relevant sound clips on Dr. Maddow's show and it was brilliant.

10. I can't see anything on there,

but I'm glad they did.

Surprised C and L didn't clip that.
