McCain has lost it. The repugs are concerned with their nominee.
They blew it big time. He misspeaks and misremembers at least twice a day.

Let's see what Clinton suporters have to say about this.

it's time to focus all of our attention on McSame and Chimpy.

In McCain's day, you tied an onion to your belt.  It was the latest style, you see...

I thought that Obama said that he would withdraw the Iraq troops within 16 months (minus a force to protect the embassy, etc.)? Are you saying that he, unlike Hillary, would not withdraw troops if his military advisers recommended against it?

Hillary is right, by the way.  The civilian leadership sets the goals, and the military carries them out.  This is also Obama's position, but he doesn't have to dove it up as much (and then hawk it up to compensate) because his anti-war bonifides are already in place.

And John McCain is an idiot.

Now you can respond and say "that was HRC's plan, so shut up!", or you can come up with clarity on Obama's plan.  

Just shifting the focus to HRC is exactly what McCain wants you to do, so your guy is left without a forum to define his strategy himself.

I like HRC's plan. She's been upfront about it.  I have not heard the same clarity from Obama. This is his chance.

Actually Hillarys position is that the new president would need to sit down with the JCOS before being able to make withdrawl plans.

This was slammed as some kind of pro-war stance instead of common sense.

The GOP will blame the Dems for everything bad and hope that the country has short enough memories that such a tactic will work and they can make a comeback asap.

McSame is showing signs of losing it. He does seem to have some little fluff or other every day which reminds me of Bob Dole. It's also clear his grasp of complicated policy issues is almost as shaky as Bush's. At the moment he's not under the kind of spotlight he will be in about 45 days and as the campaign goes along he's going to get tired, he is 71 years old after all, and this is going to make the possibility of more and more fluffs very likely. I actually have quite a lot of respect for the guy although it's been badly eroded by his pandering. It's hard to believe some of the gilt hasn't come off his gingerbread already and with this little clanger Bush dropped yesterday which Obama I have to say hit right back at him and McSame it's going to put McSame on the defensive. And btw who dreamed up the moniker McSame. It's brilliant. In one word it hangs bush baby right around his neck and poses the question do you want another Bush term.    

Shiites. Sunni. 'Nuf said.

It's a tactic that causes confusion amongst voters. Many voters are not exactly clear as to what the specifics of many of the candidates are. THis is another typical Republican playbook tactic that we must respond to appropriately. Attacking McCain about his Hamas attacks was a great first start. Although I did rant yesterday about providing a more robust response, every Democrat who said something about Bush's (i don't even know what pejorative to call what Bush does or says at this point)dumptaking at The Knesset hit a home run. So, back to the campaign of Democrats exposing some more awful truths about Republicans. We'll be doing a lot of forcing the media to cover a lot of McCain and company's incompetencies and lies.

The point is that this diary is a very clumsy way to hit out at McCain. It's confusing, and leads to an assumption that Obama's position may not be as anti-war as it seemed to be. I reject that, but I could see how others can conclude that. I'm sorry to say that the diary is clumsy in it's attempt to hit McCain, but that's the way it reads. I think if you want to hit out at McCain, it should be clear, without any need to clarify.
