I kinda agree with his statement. Lighten up. It was a joke.
Did you agree with this statement of his too?
Quote:
"I went to Iraq to gain a firsthand view of the progress in this difficult war, not to celebrate any victories. No one has been more critical of sunny progress reports that defied realities in Iraq,".
"We held a news conference to discuss what we saw: positive signs, underreported in the United States, that are reason for cautious optimism."
He also said that
Quote:
"General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee."
No, not a 'joke', but a bald faced lie!
And.
Quote:
"There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today."
Also utter bollox. But i guess it sounded pretty good to the Fox armchair warriors.
(This was just after he had 'strolled around Shorja Market in Baghdad, acccompanied by 100 US troops (no Iraqi ones, mind) and 5 attack helicopters.)
Mike Pence Some republican **** licker from Indiana said the market was
Quote:
like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime,
(Those Indianans are hard core. Why, they'll kidnap a couple dozen Methodists at the outdoor market, blindfold them, drill holes in them, expose them to acid, and dump them on Main Street just before dawn to get a rise out of the police patrolmen when they show up for coffee and donuts).
I think the market traders wanted to believe him, why wouldn't they. But 21 of them were unfortunately kidnapped and murdered the very next day.
Some delusional folk might see all this as a joke. But they would be utterly wrong.
If McCain's idea of 'reality, is the same as Gbajis, then I do hope that he gets laughed into a retirement home at the earliest possible moment.
