&lt;i&gt;Thinking we might need to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities is not the same as thinking we need to bomb their (nonexistent) al-Qaeda training camps.&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;JWG&lt;/i&gt; 

&lt;i&gt;When McCain is arguing that we should attack Iran&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;This part of the claim is a lie.&lt;/i&gt;

Last time I checked, &lt;i&gt;thinking we might need to bomb Iran&#039;s nukular facilities&lt;/i&gt;, even though it&#039;s not the same as (those nonexistent people who you claim are) &lt;i&gt;thinking to bomb their [insert straw man here - ooooh, it&#039;s the big Al-Qaeda training camps*]&lt;/i&gt;, would still be considered as &lt;i&gt;arguing we should attack Iran&lt;/i&gt;.

But, good job continuing to catapult Republican&#039;t propaganda even though the propaganda being catapulted and your talking point have been shown to be factually lacking, and you&#039;ve just proven yourself to be an amoral shameless lying hypocrite with no grasp of reality.</description>

Unless of course you want to use their non existent al-Qaeda training camps as a pretext for bombing their nuclear facilities, which is exactly what&#039;s at issue with McCain&#039;s consistent &quot;confusion&quot; on the issue.</description>

Oh, well then.... I guess I missed the club-mix which had &quot;nuclear facilities&quot; in the lyrics.  But setting war cry to a pop sixties tune is still a first.

Consider that North Korea killed thousands of American troops in the Korean War, has a near million man army and nuclear weapons - yet we negotiate with them.

Iran&#039;s military has killed few, if any American troops.  Iran has sponsored groups such as Hezbollah that have attacked the U.S., but given the poor state of their conventional military, that is the only arrow in their quiver.  Oh, and they have no nuclear weapons.  But they are the ones facing an American military assault.</description>

So, who was singing:

Bomb, bomb bomb

Bomb, bomb Iran

Hint - it was not Brian Wilson</description>

		<description>&quot;When McCain is arguing that we should attack Iran (Shia) because it is training Al-Qaeda (Sunni), it has a bit more relevance than whether Obama’s relatives liberated Camp A or Camp B ...&quot;

Amen.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;JWG&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;You’re right — he just repeatedly gets confused over which countries need Arab linguists.&lt;/i&gt;

At least he knows that you need Arab linguists to translate documents made in Arabic.  And he sounds like he wouldn&#039;t fire them if they had Teh Gay...

By the way, who was it that said he was a uniterer, not a dividerer?  And that he was going to engage in bipartisan comity once he got electorated?  Oh - and something about keeping the lock on a lock box, continuing surpluses, more open governmentalling, and pressuring his Saudi friends to keep the price of oil down?

Smarter brain dead Republican&#039;t propaganda catapultists, please...</description>

		<description>Bush can lie us into a war that kills hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, creates two million Iraqi refugees, and kills 4 thousand U.S. soldiers (not counting U.S. non-military dead) and JWG snores and idly scratches his belly. But if Obama confuses Treblinka with Birkenau -- sound the gaffe alert! To arms! To arms!

JWG, you need a priest or a shrink, not an internet messageboard. Good luck becoming reacquainted with basic morality, buddy.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;you just care more about “gotcha” snipes&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yes, when the Messiah repeatedly makes an error -- it&#039;s a silly &quot;gotcha&quot;. When McCain makes an error -- he&#039;s mentally incompetent. That&#039;s why pointing out that Obama doesn&#039;t realize that US troops couldn&#039;t liberate a death camp in Poland is so much fun. But you just keep believing in the Messiah. He&#039;ll save us all.</description>

		<description>Whoops, except &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/05/obama-gaffes-on.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;there actually are Arabic translators in Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt; and even the original source of that &quot;gaffe&quot; story conceded Obama&#039;s point was correct.  Also, it&#039;s not the Democrats firing competent Arabic translators for superficial reasons.  

But yes, I&#039;ll admit that was a really nice try, even if it wasn&#039;t exactly the same as forgetting the difference between Sunni and Shiite.  So are we playing this all day, or are you ready to admit you just care more about &quot;gotcha&quot; snipes on Obama instead of actually caring about who&#039;s more mentally competent to be commander-in-chief?  (Hint: it&#039;s not &lt;a href=&quot;http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/03/19/mccain-mistakenly-says-iran-allowing-al-qaeda-fighters-into-country-later-corrects-error/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the guy who does this&lt;/a&gt;)</description>

Last I checked Obama isn&#039;t the candidate repeatedly saying the wrong names of the leaders of Iran, sport.</description>

		<description>Part of the problem is that the Russian contribution to WWII is completely neglected by most Americans.  2 out of every 3 German soldiers that were killed in combat were killed on the Eastern Front fighting the Russians.  Roosevelt and Churchill knew there was no secret method to beat the German army, which was the most advanced fighting force at the time - so so army would have to suffer shockingly high losses.  They decided to let the Russians bear the cost.

Sure, the Americans engaged in various North Africa theaters and around Italy, but until the Normandy invasion, 3 years after the U.S. declared war, it was the Russians the beat the German army.  But if you suggest such a thing, you get a bunch of tiresome &quot;Greatest Generation&quot; types who insist it was their sacrifice that saved Europe (except that whole Eastern part).</description>

		<description>Al Gore, John Edwards, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, etc. back in 2002: &quot;Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.&quot;

Now that we&#039;ve deflected from the point, we can return to Obama repeatedly demonstrating that he can&#039;t get his own family history correct with the help of common historical knowledge. But I&#039;m sure he will be able to keep international intelligence briefings straight. After all, they&#039;re much easier than knowing the difference between Poland and Germany.</description>
