"We Must Win In Iraq"
john mccain last night. WHY? Because of the conservative values of lying and deceitfulness we are in this "war" which was over on May 1st, 2002 according to the deserter in the white house? So we must continue with more conservative values of slaughtering thousands of lives because according to mccain we just have to "win?" And just what will we win? Conservatives are idiots! And those in the debate last night are the greatest argument for abortion.

8. He sure isn't normal looking now.
Like Cheney, he looks like he died months or years ago and refuses to stop walking around.

5. Their speeches,
their inuendoes, their "Pep Talk" and rallying words are just pure crap. THEY don't even believe what they are saying. Their speeches are so full of holes, they look like a Swiss Cheese.

"WE NEED TO WIN"

Here's the biggest problem with this kind of crap. NO ONE buys this shit. And I can tell you why. Because they conveniently FORGOT TO TELL US WHAT.

What?
What do we need to win?
What does winning mean?
They forgot to tell the American public that little detail, and as a result no one knows why we're there. It's a big mystery to everyone.

Back in the 40's, they would at least explain a LITTLE BIT more, what we were fighting about, who the enemy was, and why it was important to work together. Now? What a joke.

7. They all develop lockjaw as soon as we ask for specifics
What would "winning" in Iraq look like? And just what kind of drugs do you have to be on to think Iraq will ever look like a "Leave It To Beaver" episode?

But it fits real well with the Republican policy of "don't think, just say."

10. Win what? An uneasy truce between factions that will disintegrate
as soon as we stop policing every street, and stop enforcing curfews and restricting vehicle traffic? Oh, wait...the Hydrocarbon Law...Oh yeah. Sorry, my bad.
