McCain: "I'll be glad to [go] back to that market with or without military protection."

[Bucky]

I have no wish to see John McCain physically hurt. But according to TPM, this morning on Meet the Press, the senator, when criticized for his escorted stroll thru the Baghdad market this spring, which the day following saw 21 market workers murdered in an apparent retaliation killing, said, "I'll be glad to {go} back to that market -- with or without military protection and Humvees, etc."

Talk is cheap, certainly cheaper than all the lives lost in this four year long pointless occupation. I think it's time to tell John McCain to put up or shut up.

1. Somebody pulled the football out from the kicking tee one

too many times for John (Charly Brown) McCain. It's affecting his judgment, too many cranial impacts on the ground methinks.

[Subdivisions]

2. That's a very easy thing

to say when you know it'll never happen.

[MiniMe]

4. Exactly. The government and the military would never allow it

Wonder why?

[NV Whino]

3. Okaaaay....

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Senator put your body where you claim you would

okay, nobody would let you do that, since it is NOT safe for Americans, VIP or otherwise, outside the Green zone

[Cerridwen]

6. Fundraiser for the ticket?

Phone calls to our representatives to give mc cain his wish?

[malaise]

7. Go ahead

Make My Day!

[immoderate]

8. Fat chance...

9. Why not take a stroll through Tehran instead?

:nopity:

[seemslikeadream]

10. Smells like

[Rose Siding]

11. In a burka, Senator?

-an unannounced visit, of course.

[Solly Mack]

12. Do it then, fuckwad

[kimmylavin]

13. ARGH.

SHUT UP, MR. MCCAIN.

[Journeyman]

14. He had his chance and he chose a stroll with maximum security. . .

and that says all that needs to be said about Mr McCain's beliefs about security in that market.

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. Let your clutch out and *RIDE* with it, John Boy!

I'll buy the video if you do! Why do you align yourself with chickenhawks, Mr. McCain?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. Oh, oh, what's that line from Hook?

Toodles: Lost, lost, lost.
Peter Banning: Lost what?
Toodles: I've lost my marbles.

Yes, that's the one.

17. Right after pigs fly out of my butt...

:eyes:

[TahitiNut]

18. Talk is cheap ... but political talk is expensive. To others.

McCain has lost contact with the Land of Credibility ... and lives on the banks of denial.

The whole fucking country has gone insane ... ranging from mildly neurotic to psychotic. All the politicians seem to exemplify Axis-II personality disorders - and people vote for the one they're most accustomed to enabling.

[Cults4Bush]

19. the barest strings of compassion keep me from saying

go do it... without the escort... you insane unthinking uncaring moron!!!

Loved the "IED under your desk" comment you made to Jon Stewart by the way, you disgusting swine.

[leftchick]

20. there was a bombing again there this morning

sure john, go ahead and go. Fucking liar.

[Ino]

21. Hypothetical question...

Let's say McCain did go to the market, but this time got killed...

Would Repug outcry to STOP the war increase, since someone "important" was killed?

or

Would Repug outcry to CONTINUE the war increase, so that McCain's death would not be in vain?

[Deja Q]

22. Well, he can do one of four things:

1. follow up on that claim to go back to Iraq, alone. (I'd recommend he doesn't unless he's absolutely certain it's safe. Rumor has it, Iraq isn't safe...
)
2. Dare corporations to open up lots of lettuce picking positions for $50/hr, must be a native-born American to apply (with proof) because he says no American would do it

3. Both 1 & 2

4. get out of the race for President because he's got no credibility whatsoever

Gee, what's gonna happen?

[Vinca]

23. If he goes on an unescorted shopping trip through the market,

I hope he takes some of his buddies with him. As for the lettuce, sign me up if it's $50 an hour.

[Lex]

24. He also said he'd commit suicide if the Dems took Senate control in 06.

:shrug:

[BlueStater]

25. McCain just can't let this go, can he?

Just shut up already, John. Your little stunt was a huge flop and you're just making things worse by continuing to open your mouth about it.

[Bucky]

29. To be fair, would YOU be able to "let it go" if you did a photo op that got 21people killed?

It would haunt me. Psychologically, I might even need to find ways to rationalize the horror my callous PR-needs had visited upon innocent civilians. I truly truly hope he hangs onto this moment psychologically. I would really want an event like this to be burned into the brains of every future politician in our country.
