This really, REALLY makes one think about Obama being President rather than John McCain.
To be honest, and I haven’t been a big McCain fan, he has been right on Iraq and foreign policy issues moreso than Bush. He would have, IMO, had a larger force during the invasion, and even if he hadn’t, he would have done the “Surge” at least a year earlier...but I daresay we wouldn’t have needed the surge.
I say this as someone who criticized McCain at the time, but he was right. He also was right on Putin.
I may disagree with him on some domestic issues, but the idea of Obama being president now instead of McCain simply scares the “Putin” out of me.
McCain said victory in Iraq would be easy. I wish folks would quit thinking this guy had a clue anymore than anyone else did up front.
If Obama becomes President, the Russian Empire will expand at least to cover all of Europe. Maybe when it tries to conquer Canada, the Liberal Messiah will ask to negotiate with Czar Vladimir (or he may simply surrender).
