John McCain is Angry

Does anybody believe McCain has any clue why 40,000 troops are needed and not 39,000 or 41,000?

Thank God John McCain isn't president.

Well we are sure Obama doesn't know if its 40,000 or 400. He is still trying to figure out how he can vote present.

Joe K. you left out a third and mostly likely option: a later dumber one coupled with an ever increasing number of soldiers killed while the empty suit watches the Bulls game.

I do remember the liberal outrage when Bush didn't listen to the military commanders but that's right it was Bush.

Another crack job Joe!

So? Who gives a f--k about McCain?

Thought I'd drop by the old neighborhood, and darned if it isn't still Joke Line obsessing about McCain.

kthxbai.

When McCain rears his head like this, I always go and read this transcript (though the video is brutal), with McCain whining "your bias is showing...your bias is showing:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15330717/

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about an area where we‘ve all been involved, you especially, in talking about Iraq and how we can win this war or deal with it. You‘ve called, just in the last couple of days, for 100,000 more troops on top of the 140,000 we have as a compliment there.

When I read that on the clips this morning, I went to General Barry McCaffrey, whom you know so well, and he said we‘ve got only a total of 19 brigades that we could actually put into combat right now. We have 17 committed, two of those brigades to Afghanistan, 15 brigades already in Iraq. He says we simply don‘t have the capability to sustain another 100,000 troops in Iraq. You disagree?

MCCAIN: I said we need 100,000 more ...

MATTHEWS: Right.

MCCAIN: ...members of the Marines and the Army. We need additional troops there, but I think we need to expand the Army and the Marine Corps by 100,000 people.

MATTHEWS: More recruitment.

MCCAIN: I didn‘t say we need 100,000 -- more recruitment.
[...]
MATTHEWS: But, if you were paid better and you had a greater opportunity for education in the military, would anybody else want to stand up here? See, I‘m wondering, because the military—we talked to John—

McCaffrey says we can‘t do this thing.

MCCAIN: I talk to young people all the time. I talk to them one-on-one, I talk to them in small groups. I don‘t expect a group of people to stand up. But I‘ll tell you, if I have the chance—with the ones I have a chance to talk to, they understand how wonderful this country is and they are willing to give something back to it. And that‘s what America‘s all about.

MATTHEWS: I agree. How many in this room believe in the war in Iraq from beginning to now, support the war in its full reality? The senator is one of those. Who else agrees with him? Stand up.

Stand up, stay up. Everybody now stay up who intends or would consider participating in this war. Participating in the war.

MCCAIN: Thank you.

MATTHEWS: All you people standing up are planning to participate in the war in some way? Really? Everybody here.

MCCAIN: Thank you very much, my friends.

MATTHEWS: Because I asked a minute ago how many were going to join the military. I wonder what your participation would involve.

MCCAIN: Chris, your bias is starting to show.

MATTHEWS: No, I‘m just trying to get an answer now. Wait a minute—

I want the people that are standing up. Somebody yell out why are you standing if you‘re not joining the military.

OK, you were one of those. Keep going, anybody else? Of course, look at all the people in the back. I asked before if anybody was joining the military. And now you‘re standing up in support of the war but not in terms of a plan to actually participate in a war. I don‘t get the connection. Would somebody explain it?

Now I feel blessed to have had a fine American public school education (poor Johnny McCain) where my teachers instilled in me the proper pride in the sort of democracy where the civilian leadership is solely vested with the responsibility and authority to decide all matters of war and foreign relations and the military is tasked strictly with carrying out those lawful orders.
.
They also taught me about congressional war powers and the Founder's horror at the idea of a standing army - the commies - but that's another issue...or not.

But wait. Is it only a year since the American people rejected everything John McCain thought about anything?

And he is still pissed?

This guy needs to get a life.

Yet another reason why McCain would have made a bad president, although as often has the MSM solicits his opinion, it sometimes seems as if he is the president.

"We need additional troops there, but I think we need to expand the Army and the Marine Corps by 100,000 people."

They're in the pipeline, Senator:

John who?

After McCain selected Palin as his vp candidate you give him any credibility on any issues?

Sorry, that ship has sailed. His credibility went down the dumper with his presidential campaign.
