McCain says Obama wants American soldiers to lose (and presumably die) in Iraq

Where is Mrs. Greenspan? You know, NBC's Andrea Mitchell, and her sidekick, Bob Schieffer. Where are they now that John McCain has told America that Barack Obama sides with the terrorists. Of course, John McCain's top adviser Charlie Black already said that McCain would benefit if Al Qaeda attacked America again and killed another 3,000 or so Americans before the election, so does that mean that John McCain wants America to be attacked? Oh, I'm sorry, that's right, I just questioned Saint McCain's patriotism, even in the hypothetical. Everyone knows that isn't allowed. The only thing permitted in America today, especially by corporate media sycophants like Mrs. Greenspan, is questioning a Democrat's patriotism. McCain already questioned Obama's patriotism a few weeks ago, suggesting that Obama didn't support our troops. And now McCain is saying that Obama wants the terrorists to win, and US service members to lose, in Iraq.

What a pig.

Where has John McCain been the past 7 years while George Bush let Osama get away? Where was John McCain when George Bush dismantled the CIA office in charge of finding Osama? Where was John McCain when George Bush took his eye off the ball of finding Osama in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and moved our intelligence assets and military over to an unnecessary war in Iraq? And where was John McCain as the Taliban slowly but surely came back to Afghanistan and now threatens our entire mission there?

Crickets, Mr. McCain. We heard big fat crickets when John McCain had the job of overseeing George Bush's non-attempt to catch the biggest mass murderer in recent, if not all, American history.

But the larger issue is whether the media - the same media that never misses a beat when it comes to criticizing Democrats for being "mean" towards John McCain - when will the media call John McCain on his sleazy, un-American rhetoric? We expect this kind of McCarthyite crap from George Bush and Karl Rove, but we were sold a bill of goods that John McCain was a new kind of Republican. Oh that's right, Karl Rove is now advising John McCain. And suddenly John McCain calls Barack Obama un-American.

Mrs. Greenspan, where are you?
