Sadly the McCain campaign has decided to go solely negative for the remainder of the race.  Hauling out these out of context statements by Obama to try and enflame the debate, instead of telling us why you deserve the job you are seeking, Mr. McCain.  It that's all you've got left for the last four weeks, especially considering all that is going on in our country, you deserve nothing.

Well hell. You actually expect Chetry to remember something she reported on over 2 weeks ago?

Sounds like Ms Chetry is just another " read what is in front of you " bobble head. and this Nancy Pfotenhauer is a GOP hack who bought into talking points in toto. I suppose she proves the point I made sometime ago that the first amendment also gives you the right to say absolutely dumb things as well as brilliant stuff. It is her choice.

My good friend Sean Hannity was having a stroke about that comment right after the debate.  He kept saying Obama needs to apologize because these raids never happened and since NOBODY (not even Karl Rove!) at Fox corrected him, it MUST be true, right?  I heart fake patriots like Hannity...

Correct Hannity ? Just like Nancy Pfotenhauer, correcting these people is an exercise in wasting intellect. They have innoculated themselves with no-fact serum and are perfectly happy to wear their fake lapel pins and pal around with the likes of Dick Morris.

That drives me nuts, that nobody ever asks Hannity the simple and obvious question;Do you think we haven't done air raids, and that no civilians have been killed?

It reminds me of how hysterical he would get at John Kerry's statement that "our troops shouldn't be going into homes at night and terrorizing civilians"(paraphrased). I always wanted somebody to ask him if he disagreed with Kerry's statement.

I was thinking of that Kerry statement too. Regardless of how the nitwit wing of the Republican party interprets the word, terror and terrorized have always had a broader meaning than these mental defectives are now willing to admit.

I think that someone should ask your question of Hannity too. In fact I'm sure that since McCain's was a pilot, that he would agree with our interpretation of Obama's statement as well.

If he didn't, then he has lost and shred of honor and decency.

You know you're in trouble when President Bush has a better grasp on reality than you do: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-bush9-2008sep09,0,739513.story

President Bush is making deals he should not be making with foreign leaders for well into the next president governance. He has no executive power after Jan 20, 2009 or even nov 5, 2008. He himself proved that by totally changing the character of US Government after Clinton. I am convinced Clinton gave him some great advice that was ignored.

I was once laid off from a company that I worked for, and I remember them following me to my desk w/ security watching as I packed up my things.  They really wanted to make sure that I didn't sabotage anything in the computer system or wherever on my way out.

Can we do something similar with this administration?

I'm guessing no, since we couldn't even come close to impeachment...

I had security follow me around also. My computer ( CATIA ) did not save any work after I got my 90 day notice. I had a friend of mine check my drawing releases during that time. If i remember correctly all the Hannities got all wrapped around the axle when they found their keyboards had no " w " key on them.

To question someone's patriotism because he or she admits that our policies sometime result in civilian deaths is absurd.  These things will happen.  War makes no distinction in many situations.  Similar charges are leveled at anyone who even questions the inequality of our financial practices.  Not only are critics of these policies subversive and "socialist" but also, by that reasoning, "unpatriotic".

Ridiculous.

What if Senator Obama and Senator Biden were to "Attack" McCain and Palin with lie after lie after lie...would MSM repeat the lies as 'Breaking News' stories every hour 24/7 around the clock?  Nope.  McCain/Palin is loosing and they are really slinging those political gutter balls and MSM reports these sleazy stories as so-called "NEWS".  Shameful.

Some maverickin goin on over there.  And the British are old hands at this game.

Britain risks US rift in war against Taliban

The British government on Sunday risked fuelling a rift with the US and some members of the Afghan government by supporting a senior military commander’s statement suggesting that the war against the Taliban cannot be won.

A spokesman said the UK’s ministry of defence “did not have a problem” with warning the UK public not to expect a “decisive military victory” and to prepare instead for a possible deal with the Taliban.

“Our ministers have said before that the combat in Afghanistan is not about winning or losing. We have always said it is about improving infrastructure and making sure that the Afghanistan army and police can take over security. We are also looking for a political settlement,” the spokesman told the FT.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, the UK’s commander in Helmand province, Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith, said his forces had “taken the sting out of the Taliban for 2008” but it was necessary to “lower expectations”.

“We are not going to win this war,” he told the newspaper. “It’s about reducing it to a manageable level of insurgency that’s not a strategic threat and can be managed by the Afghan army.”
