Today, Obama and McCain exchanged jabs on the 'Surge' and Afghanistan, amongst other Foreign Policy issues... The differences are rather stark. 'Stay the Course,' versus, end the war, for starters. However, they do agree that more troops are needed in Afghanistan, Obama wants to send two brigades, McCain wants to send three...

In a side note on Afghanistan, I find it ironic that the current Repug meme is that it's NATO's failure to pony up the troops for Afghanistan that has led to the current security crisis there. McCain mentioned it today in his townhall meeting, and, in an interview on MSNBC, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson severely flogged NATO for their unwillingness...

One article on McInsane's Albuquerque townhall meeting today headlines his bombastic statement; "McCain says he 'knows how to win wars'"

"I know how to win wars. And if I'm elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory,"

Really? Being shot down and held as a POW means you know how to win wars? By having a Senate seat on the Armed Forces Committee, or even the Foreign Relations Committee?

McInsane pressed on...

The Arizona senator said that Obama "is departing soon on a trip abroad that will include a fact-finding mission to Iraq and Afghanistan. And I note that he is speaking today about his plans for Iraq and Afghanistan before he has even left, before he has talked to Gen. [David H.] Petraeus, before he has seen the progress in Iraq, and before he has set foot in Afghanistan for the first time. In my experience, fact-finding missions usually work best the other way around: First you assess the facts on the ground, then you present a new strategy."

Sure we're 'winning' in Iraq! Just ask Betrayus for the 'facts on the ground', he'll set ya straight...!

I'm truly impressed with this jab...

"Sen. Obama will tell you we can't win in Afghanistan without losing in Iraq. In fact, he has it exactly backward. It is precisely the success of the surge in Iraq that shows us the way to succeed in Afghanistan."

Who's ass backwards...? Yeppers, Obama wants to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq... I'm truly in awe of McInsane's jaw-droppingly asinine assumptions! It really behooves us to elect Obama as our next Prez... Can we afford a third term of Shrub?

Remember, 'Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran...'
