2. I don't hold that against him
Everyone misspeaks from time to time and he's really old so he has trouble with these things. What I really can't forgive him for, however, is Lieberman at his elbow.

9. Certainly not
But that doesn't mean I can't forgive a verbal typo.

When you don't know that Sunni and Iran are enemy that's no verbal typo, sorry.

31. That's the claim.
Not always a good claim.

Hezbollah is Shi'ite. But support Hamas. Perhaps because Shi'ite Iran is also helping Sunni Hamas.

And yet the Sunni/Shi'ite antagonism is sufficient "proof" to say other things are impossible--Iranian support for AQ, Iranian support for Taliban. What's needed isn't facile, simpler-than-possible denials-in-principle, but fact-based denials.

The problem is that fact-based denials take work. Iran and AQ are probably on-going enemies because of AQ/Salafist insistence that Shi'ites are apostate, with the avowed intention of disposing of the Shi'ite theocracy. Hamas is a moderate theocratic movement, in that it's not got overt intentions of taking over Iran or subjugating Shi'ites. Were AQ to declare a hudna with Iran and Shi'ites and make common cause, it's unclear to me that they couldn't cooperate; this is what was implicitly claimed for Iranian-Syrian support for some Salafist movements in Anbar, something also impossible because Sunnis and Shi'ites simply can never work together ... ever. Except for Hamas and Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas/Islamic Jihad.

33. Obama is giving him hell too.
Obama belittles McCain for confusing extremists By Caren Bohan
1 hour, 42 minutes ago



FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama belittled Republican John McCain on Wednesday for misidentifying Iraqi extremists, saying he fails to understand the war has emboldened U.S. enemies.


On the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Democrats Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton both pledged to withdraw U.S. troops speedily from Iraq if either of them is elected in November, while McCain held firm to his position that a troop build-up was paying off and should be maintained.

8. I'd be interested to find out just how MUCH arteriosclerosis he has
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 08:50 AM by Donnachaidh
At his age, the major arteries bringing blood to the brain tend to be clogged. Perhaps he needs to have a full physical, and release the findings to the public to prove he's fit for office.

I'm sorry, but Senator McDodder has been showing signs of the impending need for Depends for quite some time. :sarcasm:

11. We'd better watch out.
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 08:53 AM by lpbk2713

When Shit-for-Brains campaigned for the Y2K selection he was asked to name some prominent world leaders and he didn't know Jack Schidt. He went on to win ( :shrug: ) the selection anyway. Goes to show the voters can be just as stupid as the asshole they are voting for.

13. It's apparent that this was no simple mix up.
McSame did not know that Iran was a Sunni enemy. The Republican party has a candidate for POTUS that wants to continue a war for 100 years, but doesn't even understand who we are fighting, let alone why. I'm stunned.

21. 21st Century Schizoid Man?
"Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man


Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man


Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man"

Seriously. I'm no expert, but I did diagnosed Reagan long before his illness became public. Do we have any neurologists around here?

27. Indeed. I too had Reagan diagnosed long before it was public.
Anyone who has cared for a parent with the neurological problems of aging can recognize the symptoms.

32. Before you decide to run for POTUS you ought to make a ...
serious assessment of whether or not you're fit for the job. Something I guess neither * or McSame considered.
