McCain Wears BulletProof Vest, But Shot Himself In The Foot.

John McCain, the Republican G.O.P frontrunner, recently stated that he has unwavering support for President Bush and the war in Iraq. McCain stated this while he was surrounded by security,F-15’s flew overhead, and he donned a bulletproof vest in Iraq. Seems just as safe as Detroit.

The war in Iraq, or as I like to call it, Operation We Fucked Up, is not the most popular of issues at the moment. McCain said that sending more troops was the right idea. Even those National Guard troops who have already served an extended tour of duty. He claimed he felt sorry for their war fatigue and the casualites but we had to stay the course.

My favorite line was that he knew the effects a losing war could have on a nation. Maybe I am just a cynic or watch too might nightly news, but I kind of feel, well, we already lost this war. We pretty much fucked Iraq up and tore it apart. I am not saying we should just up and leave right this minute. But, I feel that our presence isn’t helping all that much.

I mean, we’ve tried Bush’s plan for a while now and things aren’t getting any better. Most of the world hates us as it is. We should try our best to give Iraq the tools and funding it needs and then come home. I mean, New Orleans is still in bad shape but we are paying more attention to a foriegn nation. How can we fix the world’s problems if we can’t even fix what’s going on in our own country?

The Republicans use fear to garner votes. If we pull out of Iraq then the terroirsts will attack and destroy the country. Which I find hilarious because, Osama Bin Laden was no where near Iraq, so how that is possible I just don’t know.

McMcain’s advisors and PR people are going to try and show him as steadfast and always good to his word. No matter how unpopular or arcane his concepts may be. I mean, in a sense, The Republicans seem old and evil. 3 out of 4 Republicans support the war in Iraq. Come election time, this tactic and statement may really bite him in the ass. Right now, Bush is political poison.
