The false premise that Democrats "voted for the war too" is laughable at best. The resolution gave Bush power to go to war as a last result,after all forms of diplomacy had been exhausted. Many of those who voted "yes" said they put their trust in Bush to go that route, and avoid war.

Bush took those votes, kicked the inspectors out, and went into Iraq without knowing the difference between a baathist and bathtub.

It would be nice, if the right wing chickenhawks could finally own up to Iraq, but it looks as if they are too cowardly to man up and admit it was their war from day one.

Most of your predictions have been wrong, you can keep that one, I'd prefer to sit and watch without the anticipation and anxiety of your sadness on my conscience.

Sir Plagiarism would be Biden as he was kicked out of the run for president for copying a speech. He was also given an "F" in college for plagiarism. How quickly some forget. McCain is not a plagiarist!
Biden is a lying, cheating plagiarist!
Since you liberals are not competent enough to Google (as it is all over the MSM) here. You were intelligent enough to realize those quotes were all from Biden...Right? Thought I would S-P-E-L-L it out for you just in case!

As I've said, perhaps you missed this, I prefer candidates who will admit errors vs. those who will not.

There appears to be a very strong consensus that Senator McCain's pow status is a very weak case to run on as a qualification for CIC.

Do you feel good spreading rumors like a 16 year old high school girl? McCain was accused of plagiarism on a speech stating historical facts. How many different ways can you state the facts? Every American would be a plagiarist under that accusation. Biden is a proven plagiarism expert in college and in speeches. He is not quoting facts he is quoting someone else's story. Big difference. We all know that 6 months as a senator makes Obama the perfect choice for the dems...too bad his poll numbers are dropping and McCain's are gaining. Is it nice to have unattainable dreams for the dems and Obama?

Biden.

McCain forgot that Afghanistan was the first major conflict after 9/11. He said it was Iraq.

Senator McCain was accused of copying wikipedia word for word. Save your insults, you're wasting my time and your breath. Has Senator McCain apologized publicly for copying wikipedia?

Senator McCain will be interesting to watch in the coming foreign policy discussions, You should hope Senator Lieberman is close by to help him change to this years position.

Who appears to have a better command of Foreign Policy - Senator Biden or Senator McCain?

The question should be who has better judgment.

Or are you going with Biden training Obama?

Well since he is dead wrong on many other ideas of his....one would just keep going with the flow.

Trying to silence opinions? I would have thought the person with a million questions would at least have figured this one out already.
