John McCain in Warren, MI at the General Motors Tech Center is asked this question:

"Um, this is about Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. We preemptively went into Iraq, and not one terrorist came from Iraq. And um, now there's Iran and you made sort of a joke of bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. I hope that was a joke. And Osama's still running around somewhere else. So I wondered what your feeling are on preemptively going into countries where we don't really like the leader, if er, if they have oil or if they don't have oil and what you plan to do if you're President going into Iran, not going into Iran, pulling out of Iraq, not pulling out of Iraq, going into Afghanistan or any other countries that you think you want to win wars with. And we lost Vietnam. You said you knew how to win wars. We didn't win there. And I don't know if winning wars is necessarily something that a President wants to do, or should do."

And he follows it with either minutes of we're winning in Iraq, be afraid of the evil terrorists, the surge is working, Saddam had weapons, and we're going to have victory in Iraq. That's not what she asked you Senator.

9. I thought he said he was going to keep it short.

No wonder he claims to be Reaganesque, with all that damn pointless rambling.
