And only NOW does McCain announce that we are losing in Iraq ... where the h*ll has he been since the day that GW announced we had won the war from the deck of an aircraft carrier? Things have gone down hill ever since GW's announcement, and only now (just prior to another presidential election), does McCain recognize what many of us have been saying for the last year/year and a half.

WE ARE LOSING THE WAR IN IRAQ ... THE BATTLE(S) REQUIRE A LARGER FORCE THAN THAT WHICH GW IS WILLING TO FIELD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I AM AN AMERICAN ... I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY ...
ANY PERSON WHO ATTACKS MY COUNTRY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME ...
IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN AND HATE AMERICA - THEN PACK YOUR BAGS AND LEAVE.
I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN OR APOLOGISE FOR BEING AN AMERICAN.
However, if you are foreign born, and are seeking a better life -
I will be the first one to extend a hand in welcome.

I agree on both counts Chief. But better late than never ya know? I'd rather listen to McCain belated admission than another round of the "stay the course" rhetoric.

I guess we should just get genetic material from Teddy Roosevelt, Goerge Patton, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan. Mix it all together and make the best leader the USA needs.

Wouldn't matter Luis, we wouldn't know how good they were until years later. Our world is too focused on instant gratification and "magic pills" to solve problems and people are too quick to snipe and whinge. THAT is the difference between current generations and the ones that preceeded us... we need another depression to toughen people up and make them STFU and quit whinging and waiting for a handout and being so god damned self-centered. All the NIMBY's and PACs and god damned "victims"... its this attitude that allowed post-WWII Japan to kick our industrial butts off the pinacle and it hasn't hit home YET! The majority of my fellow citizens' attitude and outlook on the world pisses me off... it will take a real HARD slap in the face before people will wake up but then I am not sure it will work for more than seven seconds before we nod back off again into complacency if 9/11 is any indication.

Boy can I ever second that one ... if I hear 'stay the course' one more time, I am going to puke.

And then when he has to do something like run for office he reverts to the same spineless starry-eyed patriotism as the rest of 'em.

I also notice a lot of people telling the man they're pushing for president to shut up... but when he flip-flops there's nothing wrong with that.

Certain other members have been bringing up long dead threads that support their political agenda, and I figured that since there are no rules against it I should try to keep up.
