John McCain, Razor-Sharp Middle East Expert
John McCain said that he knows, better apparently than Maliki himself, what Maliki and the Iraqis want. Forget the multiple times Maliki has said he wants almost exactly what Obama is proposing. Forget the fact that Maliki has made a few more trips to Iraq than McCain and so maybe knows a bit more about what Iraq–not to mention Maliki himself–wants. No sirree, McCain has made so many PR jaunts to Iraq, has been babysat by enough G.I.s and has done enough P.R. photoshoots with Iraqi officials that he knows what Maliki and the Iraqis want better then they do themselves.
After all, he’s the expert: he knows that there’s a very hard struggle going on along the Iraqi-Pakistan border. I believe that will be the venue of his next Middle East trip, in fact.
Meanwhile, here’s a concise summary of how the media glosses over McCain’s “expertise.” After all, the man is solid–he never flip-flops.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Luis you are a wealth of good information on information technology and the internet. I read the concise story on McCains gaffes. As I said he’s a self-check. Unfortunately he’s got corporate media sugar daddies spotting him.
Given what I’ve seen so far, I understand how this nation got saddled with Bush. His going awol, have a criminal record for dwi, and getting his girl friend an abortion, his life time of wreckless failures, irresponsibility, drunken disorderliness, addiction to alcohol and use of cocain, even his shallow window dressing religiosity, all pretty much overlooked by the media.
Anyway, all that stuff should be bullets being set up into Obama’s holster of campaign media buys come this fall. All that stuff mentioned is all caught on tape. I assume some wicked mad ave guys are loading it up and cocking the pistol for the up coming dual. Or at least, I hope so. All’s fair in love and politics.
