Bullroar. He doesn't have the first CLUE about what to do in the Middle East. After all, he has family members who live there, and who may or may not be members of Hezbollah. I'm speculating, but then again, he's never come clean about the 8 or 9 Muslim half-brothers and half-sisters that are scattered all over the globe, so who really knows?
I WILL say this for him. He has the charm, the eagerness, the jive-talkin' abilities and the sh*t-eating grin to make a TERIFFIC salesboy at Foot Locker. Surely, even in this economic downturn, there's a Foot Locker in a mall in America somewhere that would be able to use his fine skills to increase their sales. I'D buy a shoe from him. Wouldn't you?

Could you provide some evidence that the current administration has had the first clue the Middle East,and that is after 5 years of trial and error foreign policy.
I am not sure about your logic. If he allegedly has family members familiar with the cultural and political structure of that area, would that not put him in front of someone who has none? Or are you suggesting that our current leader's success is based on his lack of knowledge?
You demand proof when accusations are made against the administration, as well you should. I see that you do not use the same yardstick everywhere.

"The person you need to complain, will never listen to you."
True. His campaign is too busy trying to shore up the dirty laundry that keeps hemhorraging out about him. Tony Rezco, Rev. Wright, his racial statements, his money-laundering.... these are only the tips of the crooked iceberg.
And that pant-suited old bag with the turkey neck and the crows feet and the pandering, philandering husband in tow is too focused on proving to her dwindling womyn constituency that Oprah was right - girls CAN do it all!
Which leaves us with the only clear choice, John McCain, who at LEAST has the experience, the service to his country, the understanding of the military and the proper connections in Washington to deal with the Saudis and the rest of the yayhoos in the Middle East.

"wtagg" please explain about "flip-flopping liberal"!!!
The most (actual) know "FLIP-FLAPPER" is Mr. McCain and Mrs Clinton. If you meant THEM, I do agree with you, otherwise just give me 'negative' for this comment... and continue to
be HAPPY.

I think that's what wtagg meant. For months, people like saint have been bashing McCain for his flip-flops & because he works too closely with Democrats to get things done.
(Imagine that - actually COMPROMISING with your coworkers to get work done. Unheard of - at least since the "Gingrich Revolution.")
They've even claimed he's too Liberal. Now he's their saviour because they're scared of both Clinton & Obama. See how they keep mentioning Obama's middle name, not realizing that Barak & Hussein are Old Testament Biblical names, & referencing his Muslim family; they're trying to imply he's a Muslim & that all Muslims are evil. Great scare tactics.

Well you like people who compromise. That leaves out Obama. He has never tried to work with the other side. It is his way or not at all.
He doesn't even know how many states there are in the Union. Even after voting in the Senate. He said he had been to 57 states and would go to one more. When people chuckled he pointed out that he wasn't including Hawaii and Alaska because his campaign said he couldn't go there.
He thinks there are 60 States. Your candidate.

Don't even start that. He's worked w/more opposition senators than the former Republican majority OR the President.
And don't start w/that 57 State thing. HE WAS MAKING A JOKE!!!!
You guys have to MANUFACTURE things to talk about on Obama. And the more you make up, the more desperate you look.

Please consider I am not an Obama supporter, but I would like you to provide some evidence to support your statement.
If you would like to talk about the gaffs that our political leaders have made, that would be fine. We could start with the current leader.

>>Iran is arming both Hezbollah and the Iraqi Shiites so the two situations are not unrelated.
And the US armed the Iraqi Shi'ia, who turned into the militias the Iraqi gov't's now fighting.
And the US is arming the Sunni militias that were fighting the US forces & Iraqi gov't.
And the US armed the Iraqi leader we relatively recently overthrew.
AND the US armed the Iranians who had kidnapped US citizens, & were at war with our ally, and who are now arming both the Iraqi gov't AND Shi'ia militias.
What's your point?

When did we arm the Sunni and Shiite militias, aside from captured weapons?
The point is clear. Iran is making a power grab throughout the Middle East and is Hezbollah's paymaster. Dealing with the Iran/Iraq situation is dealing with the situation in Lebannon.

Petraeus was supposedly training the Iraqi police & military. THAT was the Shi'ia group that were & are the Shi'ia militias.
And we are CURRENTLY paying & arming the same Sunnis, thanks to the "surge", who were targeting US military & Iraqi gov't & civilian populations.
And we won't even discuss the almost 200,000 missing weapons or the missing $9 to $12 BILLION.

The administration's foreign policy is really coming together. We have opened the door for Iran, al qaeda, etc....
How has the foreign policy of the last 6 years helped stabilized the middle east?

I just have to agree 10000%!
Let's say that also US army helped Iran in the war against Iraq before saddam hussein was killed. Also US agreed with IRAQ to occupied Kuwait and when IRAQ did it US army helped Kuwait. You see the point? Iran want power in the middle east, US want power in the middle east, EUROPE Country as well. To get power in the middle east you have to make the countries weak so that is the whole plan. And why Middle East? Simple answer it!

Yes 'MrBabyMan". I was watching our Ambassador of Iraq (her name was April) when she told to Sadam that: "... they have legitimate claim on part of Kuwaitis underground oil and part of it's territory. We (USA) will not interfere in their (OIL) conflict, she concluded".
Same month she packed her things, returned to Washington (DC) and Sadam believed to us, he did what he thought was honest answer (from us, The U.S.A.) and now he is dead, many of our soldiers too and about IRAQIS, hell no, nobody has any statistic.

>>Almost true, you kind of confused the history.
In what way? Everything's pretty clear.
- We helped our ally, Saddam
- We sold him weapons
- We encouraged him to go to war w/Iran
- We sold weapons to Iran
- We turned a blind eye when Saddam used OUR, the UNITED STATES', weapons on his own people & on Iranians
- We told him it was OK to invade Kuwait
- We then drove him out of Kuwait
- We invaded his country even tho he did NOTHING to us
- We left a MAJOR vacuum & are now surprised Iran's trying to fill the void
- We trained Shi'ia for the Iraqi military & police forces
- Many of those Shi'ia turned into militias we are now fighting
- We basically drove Sunnis into militias w/the de-Baathification & Haliburton importing workers instead of using Iraqis
- We lost BILLIONS of $$ and hundreds of THOUSANDS of weapons now in the hands of God knows who
- Now we're paying & arming the same Sunnis who attacked our forces not too long ago.
What did I get wrong?

Well that might be what Rush and our Government are saying but that doesn't mean it's true. I used to believe in Santa too.
