In the 21st century nations don’t invade other nations. John McCain 2008
Scary, he’s so scary. I don’t think he actually realized what he just said but if he did, that’s grounds for commitment. Can the American people sit by and let this statement go by without a cry of utter disbelief? I hope not.
McCain must be deep in the throes of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Although most Americans would like to forget there is a War going on, the world doesn’t. I don’t think many Americans are willing to admit, even to themselves, that we invaded a foreign nation and killed a million people for NO REASON AT ALL.
Holy Shit!!! “In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations”???
Did he really say that?
I can’t believe even a cardboard-brain like McBush would utter such a statement.
Where the fuck does he think a trillion dollars of US taxpayers’ money and 4000 American lives have gone over the past 5 years???
Christ, I hope he has his wife balance the checkbook. I’d hate to see what a mess he could make of that, no matter HOW much beer money she has to funnel into his delusional campaign to be POTUS.
That’s just scary. People are actually going to vote for this guy???
McCain has been rock-solid right on Russia all along, while Obama’s wishy-washy, Kerry-esque position of hand-holding, teatime chats, and magic diplomatic pixie dust has been shown to be woefully misguided.
Haw haw haw! I can’t believe anybody is even paying attention to that boob. After 8 years of embarrassment from Dumbya’s mismanagement of the Oval Office, we need somebody with an IQ that’s at least in the double digits. And McBush doesn’t qualify, apparently.
Dunno Mr Mustard. If I don’t hear McCain mention “nuclear option” or “Commie bastards” in his talk, then the GOP is in serious trouble with leadership.
Wow, just astoundingly nuts. Maybe he could have said “Only superpowers like Russia, China, and the United States still invade nations” and been half-way honest.
“In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations”
If it’s not a statement of fact, what is it a lie? Is it the pathetic rambling of someone who has absolutely no idea wtf he’s talking about?
This bizarre utterance is on par with drunken stripper Fanne Foxe jumping from drunken Wilbur Mills’ car into the Tidal Basin. Maybe instead of calling himself “The Argentine Firecracker” (like Fanne Foxe), McBush could call himself “The Arizona Asshole”.
considering, in the 21st Century, the United States has invaded two nations for good (Afghanistan) and fraudulent (Iraq) reasons – even interpreted as nations SHOULDN’T invade other nations, it is the product of a brain that does not have all its switches firing.
at least McCain has company in cloud koo-koo land:
After their first meeting in 2001, Mr. Bush said famously that he had looked into the eyes of Mr. Putin and “got a sense of his soul.”
***
Only four months ago, Mr. Bush and Mr. Putin met in Sochi, the Russian resort only miles from Georgia, and signed a “framework agreement” that pledged cooperation on a variety of diplomatic and security matters and declared that “the era in which the United States and Russia considered one another an enemy or strategic threat has ended.”
When Sen. McCain’s cognitive deficits are this apparent even before the election, wouldn’t it be a disservice to both him and the nation to elect him President for four years? Their seems to be quite a range between his good days and bad days.

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

I find it hard to believe that anyone would vote for this guy… he’s senile.

…and the peanut gallery is strangely silent on this one.
He forgot the key phrase in there that the US ambassador used. “in Europe”
Um.. McCain is right. The USA only liberates other nations. With Iraq, USA has done a smashing job liberating the Iraqi people.
In time, after the doctered evidence gets published, Georgia is just trying to liberate Russia. Or may be the other way around.
Humans are very civilized and highly intelligent. There is no need for invasions.
Shhh. Maybe it will go away.
I’m registered republican, but I’ve completely run out of reasons to vote for McCain.
McCain has been rock-solid right on Russia all along, while Obama’s wishy-washy, Kerry-esque position of hand-holding, teatime chats, and magic diplomatic pixie dust has been shown to be woefully misguided.
#11. Hill, keep digging hack. I command you to dig yourself that hole, and bury yourself in it. Do it now.
Just the other day he had a 10 point plan to kick Russia’s ass. Now he seems like a pussy. What happened?
#12 – Jbenson2
Yeah. His policy (and the policy of the one he was cloned from) have worked out real well, haven’t they?
At least President-Elect Obama has the sense to evaluate new data and act accordingly.
You may call that “wishy-washy” and “Kerry-esque”, but the alternative is why America is in the dog-shit shape it is now.
158 days left to go!!!!
#14 – Dallas
What are you saying? From 10-point plan to pussy?
That he flip-flopped??
Rock-solid McCain??
Haw haw haw! I can’t believe anybody is even paying attention to that boob. After 8 years of embarrassment from Dumbya’s mismanagement of the Oval Office, we need somebody with an IQ that’s at least in the double digits. And McBush doesn’t qualify, apparently.

I’m watching this closely.
Wow, just astoundingly nuts. Maybe he could have said “Only superpowers like Russia, China, and the United States still invade nations” and been half-way honest.
Said it before: this guy’s brain is melting.
#8,
“smashing” being the operative work. Might also use devastating, disastrous, horrific… in place of “smashing”.
#11 – James Hill
I thought you’d reached the bottom, but hey… I was wrong.
What’s the problem? This wasn’t a statement of fact.
#22 – MikeN
Just face it… McCain’s ‘best before’ date has passed… he’s exhibiting a loss of cognitive abilities.
Does anyone remember Jerry Ford’s comment about Poland being an independent country in ’76?

wtf?

Should run for pres of the old folks home.
The more I hear from McCain, the less I like him. Dummy U 2 ! Yikes !

The problem is that Republicans keep foisting these absolutely horrible presidents on a nation that deserves so much better.
Read my lips: “We invade for oil!”
Dick told me to say that.
What’s that, Dick?
“Oh, yeah, fuck you too!”
