Experience? Vision?

Al Qaida was not in Iraq before we invaded- an invasion undertaken on the grounds that we 1) needed to avenge 9/11, 2) that they had WMDs, and 3) we needed to "bomb them over there before they bomb us over here."

The American commander at Bastogne summed up a similar situation very succinctly: "Nuts!"

Attacking Iraq over 9/11 was like bombing China over the attack on us at Pearl Harbor.

OBAMA: CORRECT ON THE WAR!

Barack Obama has said he will implement a timetable for the removal of US troops. George Bush and John McCain disagree. The Prime Minister of Iraq, and the Iraqi people, want a timetable. OBAMA: CORRECT AGAIN!

Barack Obama has said he will talk to our enemies, even "terrorists" as long as it is in the best interest of the U.S. George Bush and John McCain disagree- but wait! All of a sudden, we are negotiating with both the North Koreans and the Iranians! OBAMA: NOT ONLY CORRECT, BUT OBVIOUSLY LISTENED TO BY BUSH!

The Surge? Working? Maybe, but we will never know what would have happened without it- besides, using the surge as such a "victory" is like saying Viet Nam was a success because we were able to achieve the "success" of evacuating some of the Vietnamese citizens from Saigon as the war ended. Ridiculous.

This week, John McCain made the profound, startling announcement that we will never allow another Holocaust- except what about Rwanda, Darfur, and, maybe-coming-to-a-mass-grave-near-you-soon, Zimbabwe?

Oh wait! It's not those folks he's trying to both scare and win over- it's the Jews. I guess Holocausts (Holocauses?) are ok as long as they are not aimed at our great Israeli allies- and, by extension, at their rich American cousins.

If John McCain were truly a man of integrity, a man of honesty, he would stand up and proclaim: "Barack Obama is not a Muslim. Barack Obama is a Christian. Barack Obama did not take his oath of office on the Koran. Barack Obama is a United States Senator, elected from the great state of Illinois, in the heartland of this great country! Choose between us on issues, by our vision, by our experience, by our abilities- but, please, not by the lies, rumors, and whispers being spread around the country and internet by people who are anything but patriots or true Americans. George Bush and Karl Rove did that to me in 2000- it was wrong then, and its wrong now."
