McCain: "100 Years Of Occupation OK With Me"

That's Joe Lieberman on stage with him. The idiot just defenestrated his "campaign", unless the vote counters have other plans.
I love how, as soon as he says"make it 100", the audience seems to look up at him in astonishment.



Q: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years -- " (cut off by McCain)
McCain: "Make it a hundred."
Q: "Is that ..." (cut off)
McCain: "We've been in South Korea ... we've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans ..."
Q: [tries to say something]
McCain: "As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That's fine with me, I hope that would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Queada is training and equipping and recruiting and motivating people every single day.

The follow-up question should have been: "But Osama bin Laden cited our presence in Saudi Arabia as one of the reasons for 9/11. Doesn't our presence in another Middle Eastern country for 100 years just invite 100 years of more terrorism?"

Given the cast of cartoon characters running for the Republican nomination, McCain just might back into the nomination. And if so, the guy up on the stage with him could well be his running mate.

Good question that would have nailed him, and you may be right about that, abi. My guess, the Rudester, is tanking, and the Huckster had his 15 minutes of fame.

Most beltway politicians baffle me, but this clutch of presidential candidates is just beyond the pale. Especially the republicans.

What color is the sky on the planet you live on? 100 years occupation ok? What?

Haha, the audience looks up at him like WTF?
McCain is a corrupt, senile warmonger who should just retire somewhere.
