Subject: John W. McCain knows how to win wars.

Oh, really?

I’ve heard John W. McCain say over and over “I know how to win wars, I know how to win wars.” – as tho repetition makes it so. Can he cite an example of a war that he’s won either as a soldier or as an architect?

I’m sure that he’ll say, as a lowly soldier, it was not his responsibility to win Vietnam – true. I’m also sure that he’ll say, as an architect, it was George W. Bush who screwed up Iraq – true, too. But doesn’t that – being an architect for the incompetent Bush – raise questions about judgment?

Still, the question remains, can he cite an example of a war that he’s won either as a soldier or as an architect? It seems that McCain really only knows how to LOSE wars. :p

The good thing about blogging is that, uh, politically incorrect questions can be raised without worry about what some bobblehead on Faux News will say. Ya know, the Main Stream Media is just too lax when it comes to obvious questions.

For example, McCain keeps citing the “new strategy “ that’s working in Iraq and will work in Afghanistan. Well, what “new strategy” – specifically? What is it we are now doing in Iraq, and why will that strategy work in Afghanistan?

I thought that the historical lesson of Vietnam was that we should not have been there in the first place – that will undoubtedly be the historical lesson of Iraq, too. I thought the secondary lesson of Vietnam was ‘commit the country BEFORE committing the troops’ – that will undoubtedly be the secondary lesson of Iraq, too. How does McCain plan to commit the country at this late date? If he can’t – say, the people’s representatives in Congress cut off his money, what will he do?
