Romeo, some questions you appear to have forgotton to answer:
1/ Your ideas on how the "War on Terror" is going to continue to be funded?
2/ What foreign policy experience does McCain have?
Looking forward to your answers.

redacted, I think that what Sen. McCain understands only too well is that when you are in a hole, you should just keep digging.
That strategy was employed by Bush and goes a long way to explaining why the president's ratings are scraping 30% and why 81% of Americans think the nation is on the wrong track.
"Clearly, he knows more about terror, its causes and its cure, than either of his Democrat opponents and probably more than any candidate the Democrats (who won't even discuss militant Islam in their staged and hollow debates) could even field."
I think what Republicans continue to fail to notice is that a juiced economy is going to cause far more pain than a failed WOT.
And that throwing untold billions into Iraq instead of using it for America and Americans is damn near a dereliction of duty.
McCain has his priorities screwed as does Bush in this respect.

"I would believe hillary before I would even consider one word about the ME out of the mouth of the rookie senator/snake oil salesman from Illinois."
Heh, "24"'s actor Jack Bauer has a better grip on foreign policy than your man McCain, who, love him or hate him, doesn't have a clue.
But I'm sure that won't stop you throwing your support behind him, especialy considering all the other real Republicans have already been booted out of the contest and only the dregs are left.
"snake oil salesman"
Heh, can you get any more desperate? I'm betting you can still surprise us. :-)
While we are on the topic, what foreign policy experience does McCain have?

Romeo - What does McCain know about foreign affairs and military strategy beyond being stuck in a prison for 5 1/2 years, crashing 6 (?) planes, singing "Bomb Iran!" and pushing for a continuation of President Bush's already failed foreign policy?
You'll have to come up with something better than tackling Obama for listening to a preacher. C'mon, what has that got to do with responsible foreign policy??
That's right - nothing at all.
And, I'm keen to very hear your ideas on how the "War on Terror" is going to continue to be funded, so please be upfront about your thoughts.
More of the same is not an option.

McCain has a lot to answer for.
His blind support for the "war on terror" has led in no small part to the current dangerous state of the U.S. economy.
Had Bush - with McCain's support - not launched the WOT, the U.S. government would right now have billions more to spend righting the economy.
Instead, Bush tosses a paltry $170 billion into the marketplace, much of which will go straight to China via Walmart, and have a negligible long-term effect on the U.S. economy.
Republicans can't raise taxes because that would go headlong against their low tax philosphy, but they also can't raise taxes out of fear it wil derail an economy already in a precarious state, ironically that they created in no small part due to their idiot spending on the Iraq war.

The "failure of leadership" here is McCain's in failing to oppose a war that has cost the U.S. $2-3 trillion with mountainous bills due to be paid in the future for VA healthcare, debt servicing and equipment repair and replacement.
And while Sen. McCain proudly boasts of an extended U.S. occupation in Iraq, he - along with every single war supporting Republican on this board - is strangely silent on how the U.S. is going to pay for it.
The fantasy of victory in this war is somehow more alluring to McCain than the nuts and bolts practicality of funding it.
But admittedly, these were the same people who claimed Iraq had WMD so it's not surprising.
What is McCain going to do? Simply borrow more from the Chinese and sink his nation even further into debt? So far, Sen. McCain has not come up with any solutions, any ideas for financing the "war on terror."
Calling him "clueless" is an understatement.
Sen McCain's other gross "failure of leadership" is his lack of a coherent plan to deal with the tanking U.S. economy.
Sen. McCain's extreme failure to identify and deal with the real priorities of his nation prove him unfit to lead, from Day 1 of from Day 1000.
This shows all of us that Sen. McCain hasn't really thought anything through clearly, and is an extremely poor candidate for the country's leadership.
Sen. McCain is clueless when it comes to fixing the economy - the greatest problem facing Americans today.
Obama is the best chance to get the troops home with fewer casualties, lower overall costs and a better chance of healing wounds and relationships wrecked by 7 years of the Bush Administration.

Is McCain actualy American? His bio says he was born in Panama, probably aboard some container ship.
What were his parents doing at the time? Anything illegal?
Has he explained why he was shot down and damaged so many planes in the war? - let's not forget he survived two airplane crashes and a collision with power lines, he escaped from his burning jet when he was stationed on the USS Forrestal flying A-4 Skyhawks, not to mention the infamous time he was shot down over Vietnam.
And talking planes, has Sen. McCain come clean on why he sold out Boeing jobs to Airbus last month? Who is he serving - Americans, or the Europeans?
And did he really "serve"? He was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. Is that really "serving," or simply costing his country?
"The speeches touched only glancingly on issues likely to dominate the campaign, including the war in Iraq, which he supports, and the economy."
That would probably be because Sen. McCain doesn't have a plan to address the dominant issue of this election - the economy.
Divorcee Sen. McCain has a lot to explain before he gets anyone's vote.

The "Surge" is working back Stateside too - 81% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.
President Bush has not only wrecked Iraq, the U.S. economy is also turning to juice on his watch.
Not to mention the terrorists are getting the best PR they've had in years thanks to Bush.
They must be bombing the Green Zone in celebration, much like people in Arab countries fire rifles into the air to celebrate.
And let's not mention the "surge" has failed dismally, the planned withdrawl of U.S. forces is currently "paused" (means: we don't know what the heck we are doing), and violence going north as are the continuing casualties on both sides.
And I still find it strange that none - not one - of the War Supporters on JT have done anything to support the troops other than frantically type insults on their keyboards.
Even some of the left-leaning liberals on this board have done more for America than that.
"Separately, the U.S. military said the largest cache of armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, had been found by Iraqi troops acting on a tip south of Baghdad."
Automatic kneejerk reaction when you've got no proof nor the guts to admit it: "These were supplied by Iran." (yawwwwnnnnnn!)
"Al-Sadr has called for a “million-strong” anti-U.S. demonstration on Wednesday in Baghdad to protest the fifth anniversary of the capture of Baghdad by invading U.S. troops."
This is going to be interesting.
Are ice-cream sales on the increase?

They look pretty good after practicing for hours last night to perfect that patented 'Double Mirror Wave.'
And Sarge, you can't see Hiroko Mima's eyebrows because I shaved them last night.

Unfortunately for John McCain, he had more success voting against Bush's tax cuts before voting for them than he will have of pulling off all the above.

McCain emphasizing his military credentials is not a good strategy right now when millions of Americans are getting stung in the wallet by sky high gas and food bills.
To have a hope of winning, McCain needs to make up an economic policy, pretend he knows more about economics than the military, ditch talking about his wartime experience faster than he ditched his planes in Vietnam, not mention that he is a divorcee, convince us he's not senile going, in fact, and then become a born-again Christian overnight.

"SushiSake2 ( 2? It was 3 the other day... )"
My handle name has been discounted, like the petrol :-)
Maliki is becoming delusional becasue he lost and was humiliated.
He went to Basra to supervise the attack and Govt. forces were met with stronger than anticipated resistance.
His position and credibility are now weaker than they were just a week ago.

Heh, it's funny how the creme de la creme of the Republican presidential candidates of late have been either b grade actors, unfaithful adulterers, lazy, drunken war-dodging serial liars, flip-flopping businessmen or bad pilots who voted against tax cuts before voting for them.
Haven't we got anyone better to vote for???

Romeo -
"barack's not even going to get nominated. The superdelegates will see to that."
ha ha, not likely. they know very well that going against the majority will of voters will lead to an exodus of Obama voters to McCain and potentially lose the election for them.
"Heh, given what religious faith he follows, barack has a better chace at running for president of The Black Panther Party."
Heh, maybe you missed last year's newsflash - Barack's a Christian.
Has anyone told John McCain to convert to Christianity for political purposes yet?
Nice try, but your argument went down even faster than John McCain in one of the many planes he wrote off while he was "serving." :-)

Superlib: "but sometimes you have to remind the radicals that the world in their eyes is often very skewed and not at all representative of the world that more normal people live in."
You're right, in fact that's what Obama's been doing to Republican voters ever since this campaign started.

“I have been an imperfect servant of my country for many years."
He sure has. How many planes did he write off?
"McCain's father and grandfather were both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy."
Meanwhile little John McCain just got busy crashing U.S. Navy inventory.
"McCain was born on August 29, 1936, in the Panama Canal Zone."
Hmmmm...is he a REAL American???"
"Quick to anger even as a toddler, McCain used to hold his breath until he passed out when thwarted."
I'm sure this is cute, but I sure hope he doesn't try it during meetings of Congress.
"He continued to push the buttons and limits of his superiors, accumulating an impressive number of demerits for small infractions and barely squeaking by academically to graduate in the bottom five of his class in 1958. Even after being accepted to train as a naval aviator, McCain was irrepressible and irresponsible, ditching one airplane into Corpus Christi Bay and flying another so low in Spain that he managed to cut power lines and deprive part of the country of electricity for a time."
What? People are considering voting for this guy?
"As a young navy pilot, McCain was in his element. "I enjoyed shooting rockets and dropping bombs and shooting off guns," he recalled to Esquire's Charles P. Pierce."
??? Is it safe to let Sen. McCain control a country?
