    McCain's Foreign Policy Frustration



    Synopsis:

    McCain's one strength is now a weakness - he is out of touch with what is happening in Iraq and focusing on the surge only highlights his inability to see that the war is moving to a new phase -- the end game. This demonstrates the extent to which McCain's only foreign policy rubrik can best be described as Us vs. Them. It isn't about choosing to fight and win the right fight. It is about looking for any and every fight.

    Okay Dan, here's some stuff about McCain -- discuss!



    [PS -- Flow, now it's your turn]

    By the way, Dan, I picked a main stream source just for you, so that you can get a chance to read a news item.

    This comment proves you are a joke. You wanted a substantive statement about McCain, one that didn't involve saying he wasn't Obama. I give it to you, and you have no thoughts on it? Is it a valid criticism, or is Time reaching for a point that isn't really there?

    Uh no, i dont want substantive comment on McCain, i want no comment on either of them.
    But if there is going to be comment i would prefer obama supporters saying why they like obama and mccain supporters saying why they like mccain.
    Rather than repubs and their supporters constantly talking about obama and how terrible he is...

    Well, see, that's a bit of a dilema, because people mostly like politicians for reasons that are more emotionally based, whereas they dislike politicians for reasons that are more logically based. Don't they have elections in England? I'd think you would know that, but then, maybe your lack of news reading has kept you blissfully ignorant of politics in your own country. Would it help if I started a thread on the upcoming East Glasgow election?

    Upcoming?
    It was yesterday you retard :) You should read the news occasionally.
    And yes, our elections suffer the same problems as yours. I.e. everyone talks about how we shouldn't vote for the other guys, and never why we should vote for them.

    Dan, you should be impressed that I even knew about it! It's far more knowledge than you've managed to accumulate regarding our elections.

    Fairly unusual circumstances, but ultimately completely meaningless.
    And very boring indeed

    I dont expect you to be interested in anything i do, especialy something creative or something that requires skill or talent.
    In fact id prefer if you would ignore me altogether, something you seem particularly unable to do

    Dude, there's nothing you have in your life that im jealous of,... sorry :(

    And the fact that you actualy feel 'superior' shows what a pathetic, insecure, shallow piece of human scum you really are :)

    :grammartime:

    How do the following phrases differ in meaning?
    1. men over 30 who live in their parent's attics
    2. men over 30 who live in their parents' attic
    3. men over 30 who live in their parents' attics

    How are the following concepts expressed, using a brief phrase similar to those above?
    1. Multiple men over 30, who share two parents, who own a single attic
    2. Multiple men over 30, each with a different pair of parents, with each pair of parents owning a single attic
    3. Multiple men over 30, who share two parents, who own multiple attics
    4. Multiple men over 30, each with a different pair of parents, with each pair of parents owning multiple attics

    Who said I feel superior? I believe what I said was that you have no reason to feel superior. Fact is Dan, whether you like it or not, I've done a helluva lot more with my life than you. You have a big mouth and nothing to show for it. I have a big mouth and something to show for it. Think about it...

    Politically, their editorial line is basically "Federal power über alles". That's why I don't like them.

    Dude, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I have a load of material things that you don't. I also have one other thing you don't....happiness.

    As for superiority, you have that god awful henryhill style arrogance whereby you act as if you are worldly wise and just a little bit smarter than everyone else, only to be proven full of shit.
