The Political Chase

Who’s not fit?

McCain says Obama is not fit to defend the country because Obama is willing to meet with Iran.

“I think [it] is an unacceptable position, and shows that Senator Obama does not have the knowledge, the experience, the background to make the kind of judgments that are necessary to preserve this nation’s security.”

Obama has said he is willing to meet with the leaders of Iran. He has not promised to meet Iran, but even if he had promised, that’s not the issue. The issue is McCain’s insistence to not. He’s already closing the door on options when he doesn’t have a clue what the options are. If that’s not George III, I don’t know what is.

I would like McSame to provide evidence to support his assertion, but of course he won’t. Not because he can’t prove a negative, but because he hasn’t the faintest clue what he’s talking about. So, let’s turn it around on John McSame. How does he propose resolving Iraq without including Iran in any discussions?

McCain doesn’t even have a plan for Iraq, except to be there 100 to 1 million years. He offered a “vision” this morning of an America in 2013 that has “welcomed home most of the servicemen and women.” McCain concluded his vision with, “the Iraq War has been won,” but added, “the United States maintains a military presence there.”

My friends, a vision is neither a plan nor a strategy. No plan, no definition of what winning is, nor what may be required to “win.” But he’s got a vision, just like George Bush has had for more than seven years.

Iran is not our greatest threat. It should be watched carefully, but this political rhetoric from Bush and McCain about Iran is ridiculous. The enemy is al-Qaeda. And John McCain and George Bush chose to forget al-Qaeda in 2002.

Mr. McCain has demonstrated his judgment on national security many times over. He doesn’t even know who we’re fighting, or what country the real enemy, al-Qaeda, resides in.
