| Kissinger: McCain was right |
| 2008-09-27 |
| The former Secretary of State says he does not support direct talks with Ahmadinejad. “Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level.” Obama said during the debate that Kissinger, a McCain adviser, supports presidential talks with the Iranian president. |

| #6 East to armchair qtrback, but I think Mac played slow pitch the entire night. I hope the fighter pilot comes out in him in the next one. Obama was on the ropes time and time again. Mac missed an opportunity when The One mention money for education |

| #5 I napped during the debate so this is hearsay BUT bho said we need to project our power? Then ticked off several geographical locales where we opened fronts in the GWOT as far back as '02? This is information that has escaped his perusal? Ya don't know what ya don't know but that's a tad too deficient in a very important area. |

| #4 Senior McCain carries the big stick of experience and whacks junior Obama with it like a senior weilding a cane. At only 47 years of age Obama failed to show he has the experience it takes to lead a country in the midst of economic crisis and in the midst of global military challenges. McCain and Petraeus are right. We must win in Iraq first and translate that strategy to winning in Afganistan and Pakistan. Obama was on the defensive having to expain his choices, strategies and policies as he was obvious coached by his advisors beforehand. Obama was unable to think on his feet and to cull from his experience as John McCain was able to do. Obama is too dependant on anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-Iraq and anti-americanism and resurgance of terrorism in Pakistan with no real foundation of his own to stand upon, that would connect with mainstream Americans. McCain's (Bush's and Petraeus') strategy is working and winning in Iraq. So now the terrorists have all but given up, fled, left Iraq and gone back to back to attacking the weaker countries of Pakistan and Afganistan using the Hindu cush mountains and untamed tribal frontier as their fortress stronghold. Obama's strategy is no more sophisticated than than any of the other military strategies of pure brute force that have failed in that region since Alexander the Great. We must elect someone like McCain who will give Petraeus the opportunity to work out a winning strategy in the tribal frontier where al quaeda and the taliban have as their only safe refuge. Working to be liked more by our so called allies is not a winning strategy. The President as the CEO of the United States (POTUS) must put America first and not sell us out to the competition and cut deals with out enemies. Obama has yet to prove where his allegiance really lies. America is the only nation that has truly taken on terrorism and freedom from oppressive governments (with the exception of Tony Blair). What is Barack smoking to say we need to look to other countries or leaders to show us how to fight for truth and freedom. I believe Americans will see through Obama's disingenuous play on words that hides his anti-american sympathies, but will vote for the true pro-american John McCain. |
