McCain says he and Obama should visit Iraq together

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Republican John McCain on Monday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for not having been to Iraq since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together.

“Look at what happened in the last two years since Senator Obama visited and declared the war lost,” the GOP presidential nominee-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview, noting that the Illinois senator’s last trip to Iraq came before the military buildup that is credited with curbing violence.

“He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue of Iraq and he has wanted to surrender for a long time,” the Arizona senator added. “If there was any other issue before the American people, and you hadn’t had anything to do with it in a couple of years, I think the American people would judge that very harshly.”

McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war, frequently argues that he’s the most qualified candidate to be a wartime commander in chief. In recent weeks, he has sought portray Obama, a first-term senator, as naive on foreign policy and not experienced enough to lead the military.

McCain says he and Obama should visit Iraq together

McCain said ‘they should visit the war zone together’, to which Hillary said ‘Oh HELL YES!!’..

You see, if anything happens to Obama, she’s the chosen one, and a shoe-in for the DNC nomination, but if something happened to McCain I have to ask, and quite honestly wonder, what would the RNC do for a candidate at this late stage of the game??

I’m going to say something that may surprise a few of you, John McCain is quite likely the most qualified to be Commander in Chief, at least among the current crop, but look at who he’s running against, a female Senator who’s most notable claim to fame is that she’s the wife of an impeached ex-president, and a Junior Senator from Illinois who’s only claim to fame is, uh, wait, I’m thinking, uh, does Obama even have a claim to fame??

To say you’re the most qualified of this bunch is a lot like saying you’re the smartest kid on the short bus, and yeah, I DO think of Kender when I think of ‘The Short Bus’, and the routine we did on Wide Awakes Radio…

“I go back every few months because things are changing in Iraq,” he said. McCain questioned whether Obama has ever been briefed by Petraeus. “I would also seize that opportunity to educate Senator Obama along the way.”

I have to ask this of Sen. McCain, why would you want to educate Obama regarding Iraq?? Do you honestly think he’s going to believe you and accept your word as truth?? I seriously doubt it, and those questions make me want to ask this as well, suppose Obama DID listen, and came out all of a sudden as a hard line campaigner that was pro war in Iraq, pro troops, pro victory and drew a line in the sand concerning Iran??

If he did, he’d be pandering, and we all know it, but he’d kick your ass all over the polls and the election would be much in doubt, I’d be very careful about educating Obama, he’s a lot of things but he’s not stupid, and he’ll pick up any trick you throw at him…
