McCain: A 'disturbing' observation

<p>So we should have allowed Hussein to stay in power and kill his own citizen with biological weapons? Hussein even admitted that he had no weapons, but he disseminated false information to make us believe he did. Had he let the inspectors access to everything we probably wouldn’t be there. The old saying spit on me once shame on you spit me twice shame on me applies. Hussein played chicken, we just lost thousands of Americans due to an irrational pseudo regime and knew that Hussein had invaded other countries, had used bio warfare on their own citizens, used Americans as shields in the 1st Gulf, maybe Bush jumped too fast, but Hussein definetely had a hand in this situation. </p>

<p>Let’s not forget this a man who siphoned an 18 wheeler full of cash for his escape from the Oil for Food program. We care more about the Iraqis than he ever did. He even proved it by murdering his daughters husbands! Let’s not forget how his sons were so upstanding by raping women b/c they wanted too! Now that is a future leader I want running…I’m a dinner jacket (ahlmindejad) is scary enough, and Iran and Iraq have never been too friendly to start with…it wouldn’t have been too fun to see the 2 of these countries fight it out</p>

<p>One problem with taking it upon ourselves to police the world, is where does it stop? Do we send troops into Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran, all of which have “evil dictators” at the helm? How about China, one of the worst violators of human rights in the world? Shall we attack them before or after the Olympics? Then there’s Africa, where there always seems to be trouble brewing. Shall we insert ourselves in a civil war down there? And Russia is getting kind of scary again. Maybe we need to rattle some sabers and load up more nuclear silos. … However, I liked the “I’m a dinner jacket” take on uh, what’s his name?</p>

<p>Saddam was more interested in Iran believing he had WMD. Even he underestimated the greed and stupidity of Bush/Cheney. Bush Sr. had sense enough not to go after him and pretty much predicted exactly what would happen if we did.</p>

<p>

I like these random posts of opinion without any sort of reason behind them whatsoever. </p>

<p>In my opinion, McCain has become too elderly to become an effective president, let alone the spectacular one we need to handle the issues facing our nation. For those of you who think that age should not matter in this election, or even that wisdom comes with getting older, I would agree with you if it were not for the staggering number of times that McCain has appeared in an interview, debate, or other public manner where he has forgotten important details - voting records (which is strange in of its self because how you feel about something today should be a reflection of your values and not how you voted 2 years ago), events, etc. Just by watching a few of the Republican debates and even as late as the incident last week on his bus where he was asked to comment on Carly Fiorina’s statement about birth control vs. viagra. </p>

<p>Having experience is important, but only if you have a firm grasp on it.</p>

<p>I think we did…SOMALIA</p>

<p>Clinton did more than his share of bombing & killing - and I’m not sure how much congressional approval he got beforehand.</p>

<p>Here is some info about his bombings of Iraq in 1999 - 2001:</p>

<p>[The</a> Raw Story | Clinton bombing of Iraq far exceeded Bush’s in run-up to war; Bush ‘spikes of activity’ questioned](<a href=“http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Clinton_bombing_of_Iraq_far_exceeded_Bushs_in_runup_to_war__Bush_spikes_of_activity_que_0705.html]The”>http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Clinton_bombing_of_Iraq_far_exceeded_Bushs_in_runup_to_war__Bush_spikes_of_activity_que_0705.html)</p>

<p>Clinton also bombed some other countries too (Afghanistan, Sudan, Kosovo, Serbia, Pakistan, even China via its embassy in Belgrade).</p>

<p>The worst part is that some of the bombing was commenced as the impeachment hearings began, then discontinued just as the hearings came to a close.</p>

<p>Re: #65. Indeed we did. Twenty-nine American soldiers died.</p>

<p>I’ll make no excuses for Clinton’s own war crimes.</p>
