My friends.....so says John McCain.

Then how is it that this is happening almost on a daily basis?

Suicide Bomber Kills 25 West of Baghdad
<link>
Kim Gamel, The Associated Press: "A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday in the midst of a celebration to welcome home an Iraqi detainee released from U.S. custody, killing at least 25 people, Iraqi officials said. The U.S. military, meanwhile, announced the arrest of an al-Qaida in Iraq figure who allegedly planned the 2006 kidnapping of American journalist Jill Carroll - one of the highest-profile attacks against Westerners in Iraq. The suicide attack occurred inside one of several tents set up outside a house in the Abu Ghraib area on Baghdad's western outskirts, according to residents and police. It was unclear if the former detainee was among the casualties."

When the Clumbine massacare was executed by a few sick-o's did you write off Colorado as a renegade state?

We can't write off Iraq because there are still sick Muslims trying to get to "heaven" with some virgins.

It's not much different than when a gun slinging fool heads into a church or a shopping mall, but its not a sign that all of civilization had stopped existing and certainly no indication we've lost the war cooperating with Iraq's new government to rid their country of extreemist.

Only a real Looney would consider taking that position. Ooops, you are the original Looney.

Sorry.

Is the White House supposed to announce all future suicide bombings or do you think you and your friend "red" can get that from MSM?

"we won the war"?

Either cite a quote from McCain in context where he made that statement or retract your dishonest claim that he did.

No, I just want the dumb asses to stand in front of the camera and admit we haven't won shit over there, and you are stupid if you think they have.

Seasoldier/People should know by now that you can't fix political problems with wars, but no, our same dumb-ass politicians continue to use the same slogans war after war. Why don't you call them up TB, since you guys are buddies and tell them to get their act together...go on. And while you have them on the phone tell them to send our sons and daughters home since "WE WON THE WAR!" Hahahahahahahahahaha

Perhaps not the exact quote "We won the war" but near enough. What he did say was: "On Thursday he emphasized that strategic success already has been achieved.

“I am happy to stand in front of you to tell you that this strategy has succeeded. It has succeeded. It has succeeded,” McCain said first at a Kansas City, Mo., town hall meeting."

Admittedly; that quote isn't from a reliable source.

If you insist on using that kind of criteria, to determine winners and losers of wars, then this country has NEVER won a war.

Land sakes...there are going to be so many disappointed people running around, and the grave yards will be heaving, as those residing there, absolutely turn over in their graves.

I see where you are coming from though...when you consider that Bush and the oil compan ies are still trying to steal Iraq's oil, then you are right....for that will never change, and they aren't about to give up on their efforts!

Re: Now, where has John McCain claimed

Holy shit, guy...don't you listen to what your candidate is putting out on the campaign trail?

I've heard this over and over from McCain: "My friends, I supported the surge...it worked! And make no mistake, we won the war!'

Find your own source of it...I've better things to do than do the research for an idiot, who is just too damned lazy to give a 'F'!
