"I think it's serious. . . . It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border," said McCain, R-Ariz., said on "Good Morning America."
I guess he forgot that there's this huge expanse of landing sitting between Iraq and Pakistan called....IRAN??
Kind of strange that a guy running on foreign experience credentials doesn't have a very good grasp of basic geography. I mean, its not like he mixed up Estonia and Latvia.
he seems to always bring up Iraq and the surge. Is this all he really knows? What about the economy?
McCain knows how to be a democrat he is good at that.
He should just switch partys already and get it over with.
Immgration, Global Warming, Nation Building sounds like George Bush, neo con ideas to me, which really are democrat ideas too.
W and MCCain are traitors to the republican party.
Iraq is just all that the media tends to cover. He gave a great speech to the NAACP last week on education. He talks a lot about the economy prices, healthcare. Those speeches just don't get the coverage.

You're absolutely right. McCain only gets coverage if he, or someone on his staff, makes a mistake while Obama gets coverage around the clock. However when Obama makes a mistake, such as
-telling people that he hasn't been to every state in the country, just 57 of them
-telling people how his granfather was one of the soldiers who liberated Auschwitz which would have been impossible unless his grandfather was a member of the Soviet army
-equating having a baby with getting an STD; "I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16"
-lamenting how, because of their being in Iraq, there aren't enough Arabic translators in Afghanistan; "We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then its harder for us to use them in Afghanistan." Arabic is not widely spoken, if at all, in Afghanistan
-lamenting how there aren't enough agricultural specialists in Afghanistan to help the locals develop other crops besides poppies, because they are in Iraq. Iraq doesn't have an agricultural problem and therefore we don't have very many, if any at all, specialists there.
-claiming that a tornado in Kansas killed 10,000 people, when in actually it killed about 10
-apparently forgot what public office he currently holds: "I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured. I wasn't saying anything I hadn't said before, that I didn't say a year ago or when I was a United States senator," said Obama, who is still a senator from Illinois.
and on, and on, and on.
Yet nary a peep is said in the mainstream media about any of this. If they say anything at all it is a quick little blurb that is quickly forgotten.
Contrast this with the dissection of any and every McCain hiccup and you cannot deny (if you are being honest with yourself) that there is an extreme and overwhelming desire within the media to see to it that Obama is our next president.
Mccain also knows about AARP, Poli-grip, where to get the best early bird special in AZ, Depends (yes those are adult diapers folks), comb overs, divorce lawyers, adultery (gasp......did he say adultery?) and being crotchety. Sounds like one hell of a candidate to me

Hmmm. Who does this remind you of?
