McCain better nail Obama on the surge. If not on that what?

"We are winning in Iraq. And we will come with victory and with honor."
-McCain

7 Sarge1984  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:40:41pm

Here we go. This oughta be good.

8 ornery elephant  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:40:48pm

178 minutes on financials...and with 2 minutes left Lehrer asks...do you think the Iranians will kill us all with nukes?

9 hillbilly geek  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:01pm

McCain can speak with authority on military matters.

10 devil in baggy pants  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:04pm

McCain stumbled a little here on Iraq.

11 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:06pm

McCain on Iraq, something of a shaky start, but warming up now.

12 mean Gene  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:29pm

Finally, foreign policy.
Come home as a winner....McCain.
0 want TIME TRAVEL so we can go back and lose it cheaper.

13 rw in san diego  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:30pm

Getting into foreign policy, now.

14 Noam Sayin'  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:37pm

That feels better.

And my new comments button came back.

15 politicalinsomniac  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:42pm

obama of course is questioning whether we should have gone to iraq... dead horse, barry..

16 arethusa  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:44pm

Barry. We're in Iraq. You can't change that. So tell us what to do now that we've almost won?

17 Zim  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:44pm

you were here in Illinois wrecking this state Barry

18 Dar ul Harb  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:41:51pm

Obama explains his Iraq policy. Or tries to.
"Distraction"

19 mean Gene  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:17pm

Weird.
0 says he can walk and chew gum at the same time but our military cannot!

20 willowone  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:22pm

and right after 9=11 you believed we should Understand the suffering and pain of the terrorists!

21 ted  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:37pm

Al-Queda to rest ?

22 Biff  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:42pm

Obama: "Orgy of spending ... that's hard to swallow."

What?!

23 mean Gene  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:44pm

Stammer.

24 politicalinsomniac  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:45pm

I wonder if McCain's somber tone was a deliberate effort, in light of the economic situation; or is he just tired?

25 Noam Sayin'  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:45pm

al Qaeda is stronger now?

26 MrSnuggles  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:42:45pm

He asked about the surge you stooge, way to dodge the question.

27 HelloDare  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:05pm

Obama also said that if he were in the Senate he may have voted differently. I don't know why people don't remind him of that.

28 reine.de.tout  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:09pm

Obama has some nerve talking about the cost of Iraq, when he and his advisors seem to have had so much influence in the current financial mess

29 Celtic Templar  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:11pm

Obama said 6 years ago? What in Illinois? or as a community organizer?

30 arethusa  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:19pm

Huh? His lesson in Iraq is we should never hesitate to use military force? He was against it, right?

31 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:28pm

Okay, McCain, if I can somehow beam this into your head: LOOK AT OBAMA AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO HIM. It makes you look assertive and on your game.

32 Biff  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:37pm

re: #4 Cheeseland

On 202 between Wilmington, DE and West Chester, PA

33 Palandine  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:40pm

Yes, Barry you bravely stood against the war 6 years ago.

When you were a state senator for Chicago.

Man, the reprisals you must have feared.

Doofus.

34 lookout  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:43pm

"Senator McCain" (slip of tongue, I'm sure)

35 Dar ul Harb  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:53pm

Whooo.

McCain is listing all of Obama's conflicting positions on Iraq.

36 moonflower  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:55pm

Anyone who says Iraq is a distraction cannot read a map

37 David IV of Georgia  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:55pm

When the new comments button disappears, clicking where it ought to be sometimes works.

38 newsjunkie_ky  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:43:58pm

40 ted  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:06pm

Exactly. Hit em Sen. McCain.

41 JSK1121  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:09pm

Obama didn't even vote on Iraq, he was still in Chicago. What a doofus.

42 Killian Bundy  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:11pm
Six years ago, I stood up and opposed this war when it was politically risky.

/I'm sorry, wasn't he a state representative that no one had ever heard of six years ago?

BINGO!

44 politicalinsomniac  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:34pm

he's using biden now to cover his shortcomings; not sure if that's going to work

45 Bobibutu  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:41pm

0 has more military science and tactics expertise than the JCS?

Wow! I am impressed!

46 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:44pm

/yeah, let's partition Iraq, see how that works out

49 Dar ul Harb  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:56pm

Above my pay grade.
Not through my subcommittee.

50 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:58pm

Obama's position is still "we should go back in time!".

51 arethusa  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:44:59pm

You can't hide behind Joe Biden, Barry.

52 mean Gene  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:04pm

0 comment about no NATO meeting .
Not my pay grade.
He called a strategy a tactic!
Idiot!

53 Fat Jolly Penguin  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:09pm

I had a scare moment there. I misheard Barry and thought he said he would never use the military, when he said he would never hesitate to use the military.

54 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:11pm

Obama is sounding like a little bitch now lol

55 rw in san diego  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:15pm

Rather flimsy excuses from Obama on his lack of committee hearings.

56 PAgirlinNC  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:23pm

Totally avoided the point McCain made about not having a meeting with the committee he is supposed to be the head of..

57 politicalinsomniac  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:25pm

Too little, too late. Barack's stammering.

62 reine.de.tout  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:49pm

Yes, Lehrer is not being unfair, but he's not being effective, either.

64 mgscheue  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:53pm

"Let's get back to our core issue because I don't want to talk about how I didn't do my job."

65 arethusa  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:45:54pm

I like McCain not looking at him. I don't want to look at BO either.

OOh, doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy. Ouch!

70 witness  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:17pm

BHO is loosing.

71 Fat Jolly Penguin  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:18pm

Yeah, Barry, McCain's acting like the war started in 2007, huh?

Where were you, and thus how much weight does your argument that you opposed the war from the beginning carry, when it actually did start?

72 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:19pm

poor O is lost on foreign affairs

73 eon  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:21pm

"Who is best equipped as the next President to decide how to use our military?"

NOT YOU, BARRY!

cheers

74 Dar ul Harb  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:26pm

Obama is just making stuff up.

75 HelloDare  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:37pm

In 2007, Obama sponsored a bill would have mandated the total withdrawal of troops by March 31, 2008

76 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:49pm

Obama is gettin his liberal crap handed to him on a plate lol

77 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:50pm

Strategy vs. tactics.... oopsie.

78 conrad  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:51pm

BHO unfortunately remembers that the general public has been fed a line of BS big enough to fertilize the entirety of Iraq about the Iraq war. Luckily, the people in the undecided ranks mostly have relatives in the war and are not happy being called wrong and their sacrifices as wasteful. Hit 'em hard, John!

79 newsjunkie_ky  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:46:52pm

Did you see Barry smack into his microphone? Hahahahahaha. /childish gloating.

82 mgscheue  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:09pm

So he was planning on having Biden do his work for him the entire time he's been in the senate?

83 Cartman  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:09pm

BHO's the ultimate troofer. Still stuck on WMD.

84 reine.de.tout  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:11pm

Ore: #60 newsjunkie_ky

obambi talks over McCain and jim lets him.

Yes.
Obama has had more time to talk, it seems to me, and Lehrer himself a minute ago seemed to be interrupting McCain to let Obama cut in.

This is awful

85 vxbush  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:15pm

But Obama completely avoided the NATO subcommittee question. Big nono. Of course, he could probably do nothing else.

86 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:15pm

Yeah stutter Obamassiah

87 pat  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:20pm

Filibuster and interruption rules are in place. The one where only leftists get to do both.

88 arethusa  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:25pm

Obama need to can the interruptions.

89 Killian Bundy  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:25pm

Ask Joe Biden what the best foreign policy is and then do the exact opposite.

/it's worked for 30 years

90 hillbilly geek  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:35pm

Looking for Barry O to stumble here... in 3, 2, 1...

91 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:36pm

92 joecitizen  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:41pm

obama "doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy"..DRINK!

93 ted  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:44pm

Can't argue with success, Barry.

94 rw in san diego  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:49pm

Obama likes interrupting when McCain's points are being made.

95 BlueCanuck  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:56pm

Gah, I hate that 4000 dead in a useless war. Here's the names of ONE universities alumni that died in a useless war. (okay so it's not all the names, missed a plaque and not the full one. each one is ten feet high and five feet minimum wide.)

96 conrad  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:57pm

Good Lord! The big O just snorted and chortled and tried to interrupt! What an unmitigated ass!

97 pingjockey  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:47:58pm

102 capitalist piglet  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:48:17pm

I can't stand Obama. I just can't stand him. He is a PUNK.

103 Intrepid  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:48:19pm

Obama has cut in several times now while McCain was speaking.

Yet McCain remains calm. Obama's trying to get McCain rattled so he loses his temper. Not working.

But it is extremely rude.

104 Celtic Templar  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:48:22pm

Biden wanted to cut Iraq into 3 - he's an idiot as is Obama

105 Killian Bundy  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:48:29pm

Obama just refereed to himself in the third person.

/the royal we, troubling

You head the committee and you never went there?

112 mean Gene  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:03pm

0 is a ''rear view mirror'' guy.
Not a leader.
He's stuck in the past.
And now he slips in the ''empire building'' myth about Iraq.

113 reine.de.tout  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:05pm

Obama thinks he's smart because so many people have told him he is.

So he keeps cutting in (he's smart so he's entitled, doncha know)

114 iceman1960  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:06pm

He's lost lol. Is anyone in the crowd fainting now? lol

115 rw in san diego  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:06pm

Obama attributes a number of questionable quotes to McCain.

Mac would you please nail him!

117 MrSnuggles  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:10pm

Still stuck on the ridiculous "16 months" idea.

118 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:15pm

"Give Iraq back its country".... McCain needs to hit that HARD, "NO, Obama would have given Iraq to AQ in Iraq."

119 eon  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:27pm

Obama admits we need more troops in Afghanistan.

/ The Koslings are krapping their Mickey Mouse didies right now, I'm sure.

cheers

eon

120 vxbush  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:29pm

McCain is putting up with the lies, and he's just putting out the details. Obama is the one losing his cool, who won't let things hang out there. Looks very bad.

121 joecitizen  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:49:31pm

since when did the war on terror begin in afghanistan?

129 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:05pm

Interesting how Petraeus is rhetorically above reproach by both of them.

If he wants a political career after his military one, he's got it.

130 newsjunkie_ky  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:06pm

134 DeliLama  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:17pm

I think we're screwed here. Obama is just talking authoritatively about crap and not being adequately addressed by McCain. McCain is losing this one.

135 Pitiricus  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:23pm

re: #125 JacksonTn

Is Barry wearing eyeshadow?

That's what I wondered! Doesn't he look sinister, like his eyebrows have doubled in size? It must just be a side effect of the lighting on stage.

143 ciaospirit  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:49pm

What did BHO just say? I heard him talk but what did he say?

144 Junior  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 6:50:54pm

McCain: Don't advertise that you're going to perform COVERT ops in Paki, it kinda defeats the covert part.

436 Occasional Reader  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:23pm

Obama now parrotting McCain. Heh.

437 Sharmuta  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:27pm

barry- we cannot tolerate a nuclear Iran.

But you're the one who wants to talk to them without preconditions!

Oops - I forgot - everything is George Bush's fault! All those new centrifuges, etc......

439 PAgirlinNC  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:32pm

Obama consistently said Iran was an enemy. Except for that one time when he said they were "just a little country..." and had to backtrack the next day.

440 ciaospirit  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:36pm

McCain is absolutely right. Yes, Barry, he is.

441 HelloDare  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:39pm

Can you imagine the arms race if Saddam were still in power. Iran would have more reason to get nuclear weapons. Why doesn't anybody bring this up. Or am I just crazy?

442 MrSnuggles  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:43pm

So if Saddam was still around and Iraq was a terror funding state, Iran would be prevented from creating nuclear weapons? What hole does obama have his head up?

443 Pepper  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:07:47pm

Soldiers can die in vain because of a CinC. The soldier is noble, not the death!

obama clarifying that he thinks the republican guard is a terrorist entity.
barry is very defensive abt. that point

Actually, Obama is doing better than he has done in interviews
Not impressed with his answers but he handling it better than I expected.

He's been closeted with Hollywood's best drama coaches for a week, while McCain has been working.

I wish they'd ask these guys what they think of CNN interviewing Ahmadinejad... if, as Obama concedes, the Iranian gov't is a terrorist organization.

451 Watcher  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:08:05pm

Obambi: Iran is bad, bad, bad.

Yet he's willing to talk to them without preconditions.

Obama's foreign policy strategy is going to be to keep the status quo, kick the can down the road, and call it tough direct diplomacy.

464 Biff  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:08:25pm

Out policy toward's Iran over the last eight years has been to trust the UN to deal with it, which is exactly what Obama wants to continue to do, as well as having tea with mini-Hitler.

re: #425 vxbush

So how many times tonight has he said, "I have consistently said so" in response to McCain pointing out one issue or another demonstrating his wrong position? That would be good to count.

Yeah, any time he says "consistently" or always," he's lying through his teeth. Works in speeches and interviews, too!

471 FightingBack  Fri, Sep 26, 2008 7:09:04pm
