Don't ta...W Scott Thompson that UMNO balls carrier. Don't take him too seriously KT. He is beneath you. McCain is one of the most decent man on the American political scene at the moment. He is a soldier who truly knows the meaning of suffering in war. <BR/><BR/>Many say that he is a hawk like Bush or Cheney but these hawks have never seen their bloodied comrades shoved in their faces before. A man like McCain would probably cut through all the political shit and move US troops out of Iraq as fast as he could because he knows what wars can do to soldiers and their loved ones. His primary concern will be to stop the suffering as quickly as possible such as when he refused the early release offered by the North Vietnamese in favor of those who have been held captive longer. <BR/><BR/>Obama on the other hand is a man who knows nothing of war or its sufferings. His flip-flop over the US troop surge in Iraq clearly points to an opportunistic streak. First he was against funding the troop surge then when it became apparent that the surge was bringing desired results he turned around and supported it. Is this the kind of man anybody would want to be heading their armed forces? This is a man who clearly does not give a shit about the lives of the men and women under his command. Soldiers are just another political tool for him. Obama knows as much as Bush when it comes to the deaths and sufferings of soldiers in wars. If corporate America is anything to go by then Harvard Law School can hardly be described as a bastion of high moral. The Democrats will be falling over themselves fighting over the spoils of their presidential and congressional victories. The suffering of Iraq , Palestine et. al. will be for quite a while yet.

Spending money on attack ads that highlighted non-issues didn't help either.<BR/><BR/>Sure, he corrected his supporters on that October 10th rally (<I>I believe it was that date</I>), but I fear it may have been a case of too little, too late. Some Muslims might get offended by his response to "<I>He's an Arab</I>", which was "No, no, he's a decent family man," which may allude that Arabs/Muslims aren't decent in the least bit, even though I don't think he meant it that way.<BR/><BR/>He might have had a good idea of winning the war in Iraq, goodness knows that pulling out might create a power vacuum unless Obama would act cautiously, but it's bad luck for John anyhow. The chickenhawks in the current administration handled it very, very badly, and that also reflects on the Republican party as a whole.<BR/><BR/>It could have been done better, but McCain ran the race, and came in second place. Now to see how Obama runs the country.<BR/><BR/>Still, I would to see one last televised fuckup by Dubya.
