"...I think we can take a look at our judgment."
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 11:35 PM by redqueen
My favorite part of the debate.

"So John, you like to pretend like the war started in 2007. You talk about the "surge," the war started in 2003. At the time, when the war started, you said it was going to be quick and easy. You said you knew where the weapons of mass destruction were -- and you were wrong. You said we were going to be greeted as liberators -- you were wrong. You said that there was no history of violence between Shi'a and Sunni, and you were wrong. ... If the question is, who is best equipped as the next president to make good decisions about how we use our military, how we make sure we are prepared and ready for the next conflict, then I think we can take a look at our judgment."

2. And McCain just kept talking about that one mistake...
and did those generals say it was "precipitous" withdrawals that were dangerous? If so, wasn't McCain lying when he claimed they said Obama's plan was dangerous?

3. That's all he did ...

Parse words.

This *tactic* (that tactic/strategy thing was another piece of crap argument) does not win hearts and minds. Doesn't even matter if you're right (and McCain wasn't ... ever), it annoys people.

Being an occasional grammar nazi myself, I know of what I speak since I can annoy so many people. :-)
