Trying to justify John McCain’s plan to keep America in Iraq for at least 100 years, conservatives push the idea that the invasion of Iraq is just like American armies being in the south after the civil war.
How do they know how to breathe? Is a cheat sheet given out?
And thank you very much for bringing up that painful subject, while you’re at it, why don’t you just give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?
Bring them home! … from the South?
Just plain dumb.
The fact that the confederate states were readmitted back into the Union ceased any idea of the ‘Union’ “occupying” the ‘South.’
They wrote their e-mail in the present tense, so it is not like people are making this buffoonery up out of whole cloth.
That is some military-grade st00pid, right there. As they say in science, not even wrong.
Maybe what they’re saying is they’d like to see Iraq become the 51st state.
Say, doesn’t the South get to vote and stuff?
I’m starting to interpret your insistence that McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years as dry wit, rather than the deliberate partisan falsehood it came across as the first seven or eight times.
Falsehood, Scratch?
Mr. McCain said it would be “fine with me” if we maintained a military presence in Iraq for 100 years.
After he said it, some rendered his remark as “war for 100 years,” and yes, that’s a distortion. But if you’re trying to make the difference between “fine with me” and “wants to stay” into a falsehood, that’s a pretty narrow distinction.
John McCain’s plan to keep America in Iraq for at least 100 years = FALSEHOOD. There is no such plan.
That’s because McCain doesn’t have an actual Iraq plan other than continuing Bush’s botched occupation. Since he doesn’t have a plan to end it you can consider “FOREVER” to be OK with McCain.
Allright, let’s post it again:
What would you say his “plan” is, Scratch?
Some are saying “McCain doesn’t have an actual Iraq plan”, others are saying “He doesn’t plan to be there for 100 years”.
Sounds to me everyone is saying essentially the same thing: McCain doesn’t have a plan.
I think we can sum it across the board by simply saying “McCain doesn’t have a clue.”
McCain: I do too have glue. It keeps my tooths in.
I stand corrected.
