McCain Invites Obama on Iraq Junket
This is just brilliant.
McCain contrasted Obama's accused negligence with the Illinois senator's proposal to meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking, "Why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the president of Iran but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus, the leader of our troops in Iraq?"
The McCain camp's criticism of Obama's single pre-surge trip to Iraq originated Sunday, when surrogate Sen. Lindsey Graham raised the issue and proposed a joint McCain/Obama trip to the region as a solution. (McCain has visited eight times to Obama's one.) McCain told the Associated Press Monday that he hopes to use such a venture to "educate" Obama. The Republican National Committee joined in today, posting a clock of the days elapsed since the likely Democratic nominee visited Iraq.
McCain reiterated that appeal, saying of the proposed trip with Obama, "I would be glad to go with him because these issues are far more important than any election. The security of this nation is far more important than any political campaign."
1. The gesture contrasts Obama's inexperience on foreign policy, esp. as a contrast to McCain.
2. It reinforces the gaffe about meeting with leaders of terrorist state, "without preconditions". In that he will meet with them, but not our own generals.
Of course, it's a stunt, because McCain knows that there is no way that Obama could possibly accept. The trip would be nothing but humiliation for Obama. But the offer, I'm sure, is a genuine one. And wouldn't that be a sight to see. Obama can not accept, but this highlights that he needs to do some work on his foreign policy credentials.
Hard to follow-up, but not impossible. Were I consulting for Obama, I would quickly issue a press release offering a joint tour of blighted urban areas in order to educate senator McCain. It would be kind of a lame response, but better than nothing.

Actually, queenie. Obama is probably safer in Iraq than he is here. Rumor has it that he will be with those who believe the way he does. (Muslims, you know)
(Sorry, that was snarky but so are most of your posts. Just an illustration of how ridiculous your comments are.)
They would travel with the same Secret Service contigent they have here. And they will get additional security from the service people. While
Obama might be afraid to see anything but the "good parts", McCain might actually take him to the scene where some battles have been fought. Might be an eye opening experience for Obama. It's hard to be commander-in-chief when you don't know where to find the battlefield.

The House version (H.R. 1302) was suddenly brought up on the House floor last September 25 and was passed by voice vote. House Republicans were caught off-guard, unaware that the pro-U.N. measure committed the U.S. to spending hundreds of billions of dollars. Kincaid9s column notes that the official in charge of making nations comply with the U.N. Millennium Goals, which are prominently highlighted in the Obama bill, says a global tax will be necessary to force American taxpayers to provide the money.
Not only does this commit the US to a global tax, but that global tax would go to an organization that is plagued by corruption and graft. The US would have no say in how these dollars would be spent. This also gives people a clue into the mindset of Barack Obama and his Socialist agenda.

Gee, it is so sweet of grampa mcCain to invite Obama on a trip. It is also sweet of him to have some of the boys over for a bar b que at his ranch.

OBAMA is the MOST UN-QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EVER IN HISTORY of USA.
We are at war with muslim terrorists, our troops are defending the USA interests, and the DNC boys club decides to pick a muslim Hussein Obama, an anti-american, anti-semitic, anti-white racist junior rookie over an experienced intelligent strong all-American woman.
The DNC boys club would compromise America, pick the worst inexperienced candidate as long as its not a woman. SHAME ON YOU.
YOU DNC dont get the last word. We the people do. We are voting Hillary or McCain. Never Obama.

Jeanne: Maybe it would do Obama good to go see how the surge he said "would never work" has actually dropped the violence by 70% in a year. Might be hard to go face the troops he wants to be C-I-C to and admit he was totally and absolutely WRONG. Great JUDGMENT.
Had we gone with the Obama, Pelosi, Harry "this war is lost" Reid and cut and run, Iraq would be in the civil war the Democrats so badly wanted. They were willing to take an American military defeat for political gain. That is not a party or a policy I will ever support.

Open- real Americans never wanted the war to START. Real Americans don't believe that we should be a global police force. Real Americans don't think we should stay there JUST BECAUSE we got tricked into going in the first place. If we listened to people like you, the govt could send the military anywhere on Earth, without our permission, and then just say "Oh well, we were wrong to invade, but since we're there, we might as well finish the job."
Does that make SENSE to you?

Strados, real Americans want to fix what they broke.
The best person to clean up Bush's mess in Iraq is John McCain.
You obotos are so crazy about him that you actually think he can walk (no strut) right into this mess and fix it with a wave of his magic hands and a rousing speech.
Yes, we need to "finish the job" the job being to bring Iraq back to as fully functioning as it possibly can be. There are millions are refugees because of this war, do we just leave them?
Obama is a relatively young man. Why can't he wait 4 years?
When someone wants something too soon, it should always be a red flag. Something is wrong with Obama.

The bunch of co-dependent disrespectable illiterate Mars's clones, whackos jackos and whacko janeos, who post the ridiculous false scum and nonsense, are doing McCain and Obama great favors. These low caliber type of Hillary bloggers are like the lemmons at a Rave Concert. Any degree of real intelligence and real truth posted by anyone other than Hillary's lemmons at once sends all those whacko lemmons in a head long fart and over the cliff into Never Never Land. They will rue the day when they find their snit-fits helped put Hillary where she is today. OUT OF THE RUNNING. Reasonable people quickly associate Hillary's whacko lemmons with Hillary. GUILT BY ASSOCIATION TAG. Good work lemmons. Thanks for all the hard-ball aid. Now, it's McCain and Obama in November.

MICHELLE OBAMA SAID IF HER HUSBAND DOES NOT GET THE NOMINATION --- SHE WILL “HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHO SHE WILL VOTE FOR IN NOVEMBER”.
WHY ISN’T THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA SCREAMING ABOUT THIS?
THEY ARE DEMANDING THAT ALL DEMOCRATS PULL TOEGTHER AND VOTE FOR OBAMA --- REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THE “PEOPLE” IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN WON’T COUNT!
WHINEY MICHELLE GETS A PASS --- BUT AMERICAN CITIZENS “WHO ARE PROUD OF AND LOVE OUR COUNTRY” DON’T!!!

If Obama goes with McCain — the good things our troops have accomplished will have to be reported.
If Obama goes with his “DNC Pals”, they, along with the “biased media” will make everything go in Obama’s favor!
He has lied throughout this campaign. He has too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans.
THESE ARE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S “RACISTS” COMMENTS:
FROM “DREAMS OF MY FATHER”:
“I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
FROM “DREAMS OF MY FATHER”:
“I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT ABOUT 12 OR 13, WHEN I BEGAN TO SUSPECT THAT BY DOING SO I WAS INGRATIATING MYSELF TO WHITES”
AND THEN THIS SCARY ONE:
FROM ‘THE AUDACITY OF HOPE, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION”.
A SMILING FACE AND STUPID “NON-ANSWERS TO POINTED QUESTIONS”. HE USES ANSWERS LIKE, “OH, IT’S JUST MORE OF THE SAME OLD POLITICS.” THIS IS JUST A VERY SMALL SAMPLE OF WHY HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT. HE DOESN’T GIVE REAL ANSWERS BECAUSE HE HAS NONE.
HE IS JUST A SMILING FACE WITH A PAT SPEECH AND THE REST IS HOLLOW.
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA AND HIS TERRORIST, ANTI-AMERICAN COMRADS WILL DESTROY AMERICA!
HE’S STEALING THE NOMINATION BY NOT COUNTING THE VOTES IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN.
NOW HE WILL ALLOW THE “DELEGATES” TO BE SEATED FOR FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN — BUT— HE WON’T LET THE “CITIZENS’” VOTES COUNT! “WE THE PEOPLE” DON’T COUNT BUT THE “DELEGATES” DO?????
WE NEED TO VOTE FOR NEW MEMBERS IN CONGRESS. THE ONES WE HAVE DO NOT LISTEN TO OUR VOICES.
MCCAIN OR CLINTON IN 2008!
