CNN: Military Sources Respond To McCain's Escalation Remark With 'Laughter Down The Line'
Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told radio host Bill Bennett that President Bush's escalation is working. "There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today," he said. Today, when CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked McCain why Americans still aren't able to safely leave the Green Zone in Iraq, the senator replied that Blitzer was giving three-month-old talking points:
General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee. I think you oughta catch up. You are giving the old line of three months ago. I understand it. We certainly don't get it through the filter of some of the media.
But according to CNN reporter Michael Ware, who has been in Iraq for four years, McCain is "way off base." He stated, "To suggest that there's any neighborhood in this city where an American can walk freely is beyond ludicrous. I'd love Sen. McCain to tell me where that neighborhood is and he and I can go for a stroll."
Ware also rebutted McCain's assertion that Petaeus travels in an unarmed humvee: "[I]n the hour since Sen. McCain's said this, I've spoken to military sources and there was laughter down the line. I mean, certainly the general travels in a humvee. There's multiple humvees around it, heavily armed." Watch it:

From Adultery to Pill-Popping, to Selling Secrets to the Vietcong, to using the POW Sob-Story to advance his political aspirations...These McCains are really sickening!
Unstable/Unable
Maybe he was referring to the long chow hall line in the Green Zone..otherwise McCain's FUBAR.
And why such a long chow line? Because Dick Cheney's Haliburton wants to cash in at the soldiers' expense by making them wait in VERY long lines = close to hours = just for their -chow- instead of running a round-the-clock chow line as if they had some sense.
Implemented the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children...in the name of, "protecting the American people!"
Bush/McCain strategy - cause the problem, then come riding in on a white horse to save the day.
BOOT McBush!!
OBAMA~'-BIDEN!!!
McCain reminds me of one of the emperors who led to the fall of the Roman empire, like Nero. He also reminds me of Soviet dictators like Stalin. But that's not going to work here because America is a democracy.
I'm voting for Obama/Biden to preserve this country and my livelihood.
