McCain: ‘By golly’ we’re ‘winning’ in Iraq.After crossing the picket line to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) took a moment to repeatedly declare that the U.S. is “winning” in Iraq:

We’re not gonna let them get defeated. We’re not gonna have them surrender. And they’re gonna win. And by golly, they are winning, my friends. They are winning. They are winning.

Hours later, two female suicide bombers in Baghdad set off explosions that killed at least 64 people, “the most lethal blasts since August 1:

1. I saw McCain on Leno last night

I'm no longer worried about him being elected President.

He doesn't have a chance.

I hope you are right. n/t

2. He's just pathetic. We're at a stalemate. That's all the "Surge" has brought us, after

hundreds of American lives and thousands of Iraqi lives, and much destruction, and billions of dollars. That's it. It will continue to be a stalemate, because you cannot WIN an occupation, you can only stay or leave.

3. I wish he would...

KEEP HIS F'N MOUTH SHUT! Fuck that piece of dog shit. A typical "War Pig.":mad: :argh: :grr: :nuke:

9. Last night

when they announced he was coming on and went to commercial, I went to bed, I used to have some respect for him but his campaign has all but destroyed what little I had.

6. Sorry, to my fellow DU members...

I kind of lost it on my last post.

11. I feel the same way about him. I can't stand that war pig.

7. McCain crossed the WGA picket line

I look forward to endless questions about how that supports the working men and women of our country. And if McCain goes abroad and faces some foreign journalists, he'll get 'em, too!

8. My apolitical S.O. walked in while McCain was on Leno

and after a few minutes of listening said, "That man's CRAZY. Batshit, f*cking CRAZY. No way he'll ever be President. Oh wait - look who we've got now..." To which I responded, "Oh yeah, it can happen, all right - just that easy! That's why you HAVE to vote, and vote Dem!" As I will :)

12. Doesn't it seem the violence is escalating lately?

At least the reported violence. I'm never quite trustful of what's reported and not reported.

13. "We're winning! We're winning!" rahrahrah - what bullshit!

With the exception of Ron Paul (whom I would not vote for) these repub candidates are frick's nuts!
They need to be asked about permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq - this needs to be thrown in their faces. Would any of them rescind Bush's signing order? I doubt it and the American people need to know that. I can't believe many Americans will support a permanent U.S. military presence there. Obviously, most Americans want us out NOW.
