Veterans Respond to McCain's "Obama Wants to Lose" Remark

[proud2BlibKansan]

While Barack Obama spends the week in Afghanistan and Iraq, speaking to throngs of cheering troops and diplomats, John McCain is accusing the likely Democratic nominee of wanting to "lose" the war in Iraq. Here's what he said today:

MCCAIN: It seems to me that Senator Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.

It looks to me like desperation brought on by Maliki's endorsement of Obama's plan is starting to settle in -- especially considering that not many Americans and even fewer Iraqis look at Iraq in terms of winning and losing anymore.

But the question, then, becomes this: If McCain thinks Obama wants to lose in Iraq, and thousands of troops support Obama's policies, does this mean that McCain thinks those troops want to lose in Iraq?

1. "Does this mean that McCain thinks those troops want to lose in Iraq?"

Yes, because that way they will be allowed to go home. If McCain wins, they will never be able to go home, except in a flag-draped box.

3. So we should keep having people killed uselessly just so

McLame can claim he's trying to "win?"

Who cares what label, win or lose, is applied to the situation - stop killing people.

McLame talks as if "winning" were more important than stopping unnecessary killing.
