Why does Obama keep shaking his head and mumbling "not true" every time McCain says Obama described the success of the Iraq surge as "success beyond his wildest dreams"? You fucking DID say it, I was watching when you said it :lol

You're taking the quote out of context intentionally. Please stop.

 

[delirium]

Does anyone believe this? That people think the surge worked?

How was the surge a failure then?

"Nobody had anything to do with 9/11 before we went in. No Al Qeada were there before we went in."

OHHHHH SHIT

finally.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

I guess in general this is a draw, but McCain is obviously going about doing well so so wrong.

 

[ronito]

Still looks like a draw to me.

No one is pulling ahead.

this will just cement people in what they've already decided. No one's win.

"Nobody had anything to do with 9/11 before we went in. No Al Qeada were there before we went in."

OHHHHH SHIT

Obama is doing really well on the specifics here.

100% better than 1% is still only 2%.

Mistake. :O

then why did McCain just say Obama refuses to acknowledge the surge as a success?

 

[Marvie_3]

I won't repeat the mistake I made...(repeats mistake). WTF John

 

[Kildace]

Obama should have said Opium and not Poppy for emotionnal effect. Most people don't know that poppy = opium.

 

[Dartastic]

The RUSSIANS? That was like, FOREVER AGO. It doesn't have much bearing to the conversation...

 

[Almighty_Chocobo]

Huh? Russians in Afganistan? Must be on the Afganistan/Russian border... :lol

 

[Chiggs]

That is the worst goddamn quote ever. IMA TUFF GUY

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

You could see in Obama's eyes that he regrets the "kill Bin Laden" line as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

Well he was for killing him in 2001, then against it this year. Now apparently he is for it again.

 

[Tamanon]

....he's not prepared to threaten Pakistan?:lol

 

[Insane Metal]

Peace and prosperity in Iraq?
Really?

...

:lol

Oh man McCain is such a douche.

 

[X26]

yea yea, russia mention, wooo

 

[reilo]

"You don't say that out loud."

This... coming from McCain? :lol

BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN YOU FUCKSHIT

 

[so_awes]

aren't we attacking in Pakistan right now?

 

[Frenck]

You don't say that out loud :lol

What an idiot.

 

[Xabora]

Obama should have said Opium and not Poppy for emotionnal effect. Most people don't know that poppy = opium.

Poppycock!

 

[hiryu]

Did McCain just say you don't tell people when you do something you just do it?

 

[Gantz]

it's Afghanistan not Pakistan!

 

[pollo]

McCain is winning this debate...he's guiding the whole debate and putting Obama on the defensive and making Obama feel "guilty" about his positions.

Obama needs to bring this back to shit I care about..like OUR FUCKING ECONOMY

 

[SRG01]

McCain's lying again. Obama wants more troops in Afghanistan!

 

[Chiggs]

Send in John Rambo.

 

[Trurl]

I guess in general this is a draw, but McCain is obviously going about doing well so so wrong.

These things are won by sound bites (or so I've been told). To me the biggest short phrase was a spending freeze on everything but defense spending, that may have been a huge blunder.

 

[Tamanon]

Um....it's not the same strategy as Iraq at all. Afghanistan is NOTHING like Iraq.:lol

BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN YOU FUCKSHIT

What I was going to post.

 

[dasein]

McCain is winning

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

then why did McCain just say Obama refuses to acknowledge the surge as a success?

Because Obama will say it was a success beyond our wildest dreams but still fell short of his expectations.

 

[Kildace]

You don't say that out loud :lol

What an idiot.

The way he said it oozed disrespect.

 

[Gary Whitta]

PETRAEUS!

Why don't you just MARRY him?

Uhm, Jim Lehrer is guiding the debate. And the debate is about FOREIGN POLICY.

 

[xS1TH L0RDx]

Did McCain just say you don't tell people when you do something you just do it?

take more things out of context, plz.

 

[GitarooMan]

My takeaway from McCain: Gen. Petreaus should be President.

 

[Gantz]

McCain is fucking describing the premise of Rambo 3 :lol

Uhhh the debate was originally about foreign policy. Due to recent events, they added those questions about the economy.

[Trakdown]

Did McCain just say you don't tell people when you do something you just do it?

Don't DECLARE war, just do it!

 

[Stinkles]

How was the surge a failure then?

The surge has been demonstrated to be largely the result of "natural" ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods, not troop presence. Shiite neighborhoods were basically purged from Sunni, and vice versa.

Obama can't control what the debate topics are also this is a foriegn policy debate.

Amen.

They breezed through that way too quickly.

McCain looks confused.

I agree. Average uninformed Americans are going to see McCain winning this.

 

[Askani]

PETRAEUS!

Why don't you just MARRY him?

He should, because Petraeus is awesome.
