Things John McCain does NOT know (Lowell - 9/18/2008 3:34:20 PM)
about foreign policy.  

McCain thinks the recent conflict between Russia and Georgia was "the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War." He thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border. He believes Czechoslovakia is still a country. He's been confused about the difference between Sudan and Somalia. He's been confused about whether he wants more U.S. troops in Afghanistan, more NATO troops in Afghanistan, or both. He's been confused about how many U.S. troops are in Iraq. He's been confused about whether the U.S. can maintain a long-term presence in Iraq. He's been confused about Iran's relationship with al Qaeda. He's been confused about the difference between Sunni and Shi'ia. McCain, following a recent trip to Germany, even referred to "President Putin of Germany."  All of this incoherence on his signature issue.

When the Obama campaign brings a foreign policy debate to a community college in Fredericksburg, you know they're seriously on to something. It will give the Free Lance-Star a well-deserved headache to cover this event.  


Ha, that's a good one (Chris Guy - 9/18/2008 9:57:59 PM)
as if the Free Lance-Star Fat Chance Star is going to cover this.  


What a great idea-wish I could attend (VA Breeze - 9/18/2008 4:21:09 PM)
