Yeah, Republicans, go ahead and vote for John McAddled. I want to see MRI's & PET scans of his brain -- I suspect I'd see cerebral atrophy, hippocampal atrophy, and significantly decreased activity in a number of areas of his brain.

McCain Warns Of ‘Hard Struggle’ On The ‘Iraq-Pakistan Border’
Today on Good Morning America, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) refused to call the situation in Afghanistan “precarious and urgent,” but admitted that “We have a lot of work to do.” He warned of a “very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border.” Watch it:



Of course, Iraq is nowhere near Pakistan. In fact, Baghdad — the capital of Iraq — is over 1,500 miles from Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad...

3. Yes, McCain is an idiot...but your example of the distance
between Baghdad and Pakistan doesn't prove they don't have a contiguous border (even though they don't). What's the distance between Moscow, Russia and Peking, China? More than 1,500 miles, but they do share a contiguous border.

16. In fact, Baghdad — the capital of Iraq — is over 1,500 miles from Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad.
My point was that the distance between the two capitals has no bearing on whether or not they have a contiguous border - i.e. Moscow and Bejing. I well aware that Iraq and Pakistan DO NOT have a contiguous border.

11. Sen. McCain is NOT a knowledgeable person on foreign policy matters
This is transparently obvious to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of Middle East issues who listens to even a brief interview with him.

This impression that he is knowledgeable and experienced on foreign policy matters is nothing short of a fraud and a hoax.

15. Oops...McSame let out a little secret, I guess.
After Iran is nuked by Bush, they're going to just divide it up, giving half to Pakistan, half to Iraq. Then there'll be a mutual border.

He just let out a secret he wasn't supposed to... :eyes:
