McCain to Obama: Don't Be Like LBJ

Personally, I'd rather have NO troops in the mid-east.

But, I'll be patient. I do believe the current administration is heading in the right direction.

I can only surmise I would not have this calm and confidence had Mr. McCain taken the presidential oath of office.

Newsflash, Senator McCain, you were not elected, and subsequently these are not your calls to make. Get over it.

We need to stay out of Afghanistan. No one there is hurting us right now. This will be further loss of American blood and treasure. Look where Afghanistan ended for Russia. Put those American soldiers here guarding the Homeland. Spend the treasure right here, not over there. We can't fix Afghanistan. Can we fix America first?

The US needs to stop being the world's Band-Aid because we can't get it right here at home. Why should the Afghans get a bail-out? What do they do for the US? Plenty of people out there who want to work & live to protect their own future. Sending 10k troops to protect us from Mustafa and his pals is pointless.

McCain is a poor student of history, and would have blundered if he were the president on Afghanistan. "Incrementalism" isn't what doomed us in Vietnam; it was that the war was unjust and the reasons for getting into it in the first place were either lies or misguided. Sound familiar? Secondly, we don't need the massive force that he had called for last year and before. The Soviets already tried that approach, and it didn't work.

Russia's Vietnam is about to become Americas third! How many quagmires can this country take???

Hey, McCain, you weren't elected, so why don't you shut up already? It's bad enough you embarrassed yourself during your campaign and inflicted Sarah Moron Palin on us. Just go away. You have no credibility anymore after the mess you made of things and how far you showed us you were willing to go to win. Again, in case you missed it, you lost. Now shut up already.

I wish MCCain would shut up. We voted for Obama not McCain/Bush Policy. MCCain just dont get it. Obama aproving rate is 66 percent. MCCain needs to get into the 21 centrey. I see nobody is really listening to the Republicans but the Republicans.

I bet MCcain get a hard on just talking about the war. This is why he was not elected becasue he would have us fighting all kinds of war all over the country. You and the Republicans took your eye of the Afans war to fight your Iraq war for Bush so shut the F UP old MrWar and take a sleeping bill and laid it down for the next 4 or 8 years and let the one the American people elected - President Obama run the show.

TYPICAL NEOCON RESPONSE, MORE YOUNG BOOTS ON THE GROUND. THAT MR. McCAIN - - - - IS WHY YOU LOST!!!

What is clear to most Americans, and what is becoming clear to leaders around the globe, is that President Obama is serious about using all available resources to work through its differences with other nations.

The U.S. is not just a "one trick pony" knowing only how to use her military might. Having military prowess is a good thing and for many reasons. BUT HAVING SMARTS and WISDOM TO GO ALONG WITH THAT MILITARY PROWESS IS THE GREATEST. Neither McCain, Bush Jr., Cheney, or the NEOCONS understood that simple precept.

Hey, McCain, you weren't elected, so why don't you shut up already? It's bad enough you embarrassed yourself during your campaign and inflicted Sarah Moron Palin on us. Just go away.

OK, let's say we just packed it up and headed out of Afgan...Let OBL reestablish himself as a relevant figure in the mideast and the leader of jihad. Let OBL, once again, destabilize the entire Mid East, AGAIN, Pakistan then is overtaken by insugents and radicals, putting the entire planet at risk when nuclear material is compromised and gets in the hands of the wrong people...then you wake up one morning with not planes hitting a building, or a train in Mafrid that is blown up, but nuclear detonations in our country and other countries. These insugents in Afgan are not just a group to keep our military busy, these are legit threats to civilization. They do not care about you, your twitter, your kids, your anything. They just want to kill as many of us as possible and die a martar. If we don't do it, no one will. Do see any other nation standing up to take this head on? NO! That;s why we are the country we are today. Because we take the tough assignments. I agree with McCain. Nip this in the bud now...If your a doctor and you see a symptom for a serious disease, do you say "Ah, they're fine now. Let;s wait until it becomes a full blown disease, then we'll put the anti-bodies in him"...NO, you tackle the problem head on before it becomes a bigger problem. Wake up.

ahhh, 62 million people(48%)of the voting populus thought he was a better choice than Obama and from what i am reading in the blogs many that voted for Obama would change their vote to McCain.

Oh wow, this sure is a refreshing change from the comments at AOL News (and the news part is a stretch). You can tell that a lot of the community still drags their knuckles along the ground!

Leave it to McCain to have the "experience" to bring up LBJ...

Boxcar - Dream on with you lies. Yea, if all you read if Fox nosie then yea you would think thank that. 48 percent of this world a still dump with are mostly the evil Republicans. You republicans lose so we don't have to listen to loser. Obama have a 66 approve rating so that me so it looks like more people are staring to realized President Obama is the right choice.

Who cares what McCain says? He's a chronic flip flopper who got absolutely smoked in an electoral landslide.

AOL News - is just like listing to FOX NOSIE. ALL RACIST REPUBLICANS!

Actually, while I am glad Sen. McCain is not our president, he does have a good point. I respect his views on matters like these.

What has gotten into all these Obama-bots? Do you really want the government to have this much control in your lives? Does it not frighten you that the prez of the US fired an executive at a private company? Does it not frighten you that the government is spending money that we don't have or our grandchildren don't have? Does it not bother you that the Chinese basically own this counret with all the debt we have towards them...and it's growing? Are you that drunk off the kool-aid that you can't see what is taking place...or is it that you know what's taking place and you like the fact that the government will tell you how to live, what to drive, how spend your monet etc etc...it doesn't matter if this was a Demo, Liberal or Republican...this scares the absolute crap out of me.
