Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has thrown his support behind President Barack Obama's approach to Afghanistan and believes Obama will succeed in getting European nations to contribute more resources to the fight, although he doubts those will be in the form of more troops.

"President Obama has an enormous reservoir of good will in Europe. I think you'll see that manifested by the people's enthusiasm for his first visit as president of the United States," McCain said Tuesday as Obama headed for the G-20 summit in London. "I think he can translate that good will into larger commitments on the part of our allies."

Do we really need John to tell us that the rest of NATO is more “comfortable” if they can man the coffee maker and Xerox machine?

Will John McCain PLEASE just go AWAY?????

[Winstons Julia]

I’m so sick of people feeding into the “America has earned Goodwill now” ploy.

We should never have LOST goodwill. Goodwill, really? Iran’s told us to get sc*****, N Korea’s about to launch a missile, Russia’s told us to get ......

I want to know...WHAT’S Obama’s exit strategy for Afghanistan?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Why not? This is pretty much the same as Bush’s plan.

Haven’t heard the Prez’s comments on the new Afghan rape bill yet.

I don’t think John Mccain has all his oars in the water.

He is a few bricks short of a load, and is playing Solitaire with 51 cards.

His elevator doesn’t go to the top floor and the lights are on at his house,but he isnt home.

“nations to contribute more resources to the fight, although he doubts those will be in the form of more troops.”

Yeah, uh thanks for that. I’m sure the special forces will appreciate the cheese from France and belgium chocolates while defusing roadside bombs. Perhaps we can send some of them Swiss coo coo clocks to buy off the Taliban?

Is there some way to contact McCain to tell him that we don’t care what he thinks and to please just shut up?
