DUers, Buy Grandpa a NEW map! (calls for missle defense in a country that no longer exists)

[npincus]

DUers, I humbly ask for you to send your new maps to:

Office of Senator John McCain
241 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Unfortunately, Sen. McCain believes that Czechoslovakia needs protection! That's 15 years too late! (no longer exists) :rofl:




THROW THIS MAP OUT, Grandpa!




THIS is the map you need!


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_Czechoslovakia

The dissolution of Czechoslovakia, which took effect on January 1, 1993, saw Czechoslovakia split into two separate countries: the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is sometimes referred to as the "Velvet Divorce" in English and in some other languages, a reference to the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that led to the end of the rule of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the formation of a new, non-Communist government.

A little nitpicky, but he's still citing a country that no longer exists...

McCain just said the United States should set up a missle defense system in Czechoslovakia. Should we assume he meant the Czech Republic?


:rofl:

[Poll_Blind]

“I personally believe, that U.S. Americans,
are unable to do so,
because uh,
some, people out there, in our nation don’t have maps.
and uh…
I believe that our education like such as in South Africa,
and the Iraq,
everywhere like such as…
and, I believe they should uh,
our education over here,
in the U.S. should help the U.S.
or should help South Africa,
and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future,
for us.”

[nichomachus]

15. You're talking about a guy who Monday said we need to turn

to the League of Nations to deal with Iran.

17. McCain's going to be making weekly gaffes like this.

And Obama had better hammer him with these, because the media is going to give him a free pass.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

21. We need to collect and compile these incidents

Put them in the research section

[blondeatlast]

22. Two years ago, I visited what I thought was the Czech Republic and passed through a "Slovakia."

I guess I was dreaming--but I even posted pictures here on DU at a place called the Charles Bridge in the Czec--but wait, that can't be, because a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE would never talk about placing a military installation in a place that didn't exist, would he?

I'm so confused!

[FloridaJudy]

23. But, but...

Then who will help us defeat the evil Ottoman Empire??????

[Aristus]

24. WHAT??? The people who make footstools have an empire now???

Sheesh! They'll stop at nothing!

[Pietrogustapov]

Or is he just dumb? I'd choose the latter.

[Fox Mulder]

27. I'm surprised he didn't say the Ottoman Empire.

[blondeatlast]

28. Wait'll he finds out where Persian rugs come from...

"Third Term" McBush sings:

[NickB79]
