Do you agree with Old Man McCain that America faces a hard struggle on the Iraq/Pakistan border?

Question

Or do you still have all your faculties?

Should a presidential candidate understand the geography and culture of a region that he wants to "bomb, bomb, bomb"?

A lack of understanding of basic geography is just one more thing that Old Man McCain has in common with Bush.

Answer 1

Yeah I agree with Outlander.  If you are going to rat on McCain for geography you should point out that Obama doesn't even know the geography of his own country.

There is video evidence in a link below if you need a reminder of how Obama "misspoke."

Answer 2

Obama thinks there are 58 states.  He doesn't even know his own country and I think that is worse.  I've known that since I was a little kid.  What an idiot.

Answer 3

Saudi Arabia carried out the 9/11 attacks so Bush invaded Iraq. Now McCain thinks there's a border between Pakistan and Iraq. Which means of course, if he gets into the White House he will order the bombing of Syria.

Logic.

Don't be too hard on him. Columbus thought he had discovered India. Geography has not been a hot topic with you people since then.

Answer 4

I don't remember Obama advocating making war on any part of the US.  Please give more details outlander and friends.

Answer 5

Pakistan has no border with Iraq, Pakistan has a border with Afghanistan.

First USA should give Pakistan the proper and latest equipment to seal its border with Afghanistan then criticize Pakistan, I wonder how Americans can only blame Pakistan for Taliban attacks? Since all 35 NATO nations are in Afghanistan with their latest equipments USA itself is there with the number one technology in the whole world, Afghanistan should care about its borders but yet the whole world and specially USA blame only only only PAKISTAN.

We all know that USA can't secure its easy border with Mexico with its world number one technology but they expect Pakistan to secure its Mountainous border with Afghanistan, i just wonder on the hypocrisy of Americans.

Securing Pakistan Afghanistan border is a joint joint joint responsibility of all NATO and specially AMERICA & Afghanistan & then PAKISTAN.

And Pakistan has lost more troops & civilians than USA or any other country for this so called war on terror.

USA and WEST first look at their deeds then point out their fingers on Pakistan, USA must must must give Pakistan the latest spying equipments otherwise they should not expect something from Pakistan which is not possible even from them.

AND LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ONNNNNNNNN, All USA is doing providing ARMS & having nuclear deals to Pakistan’s number ONE enemy India and despite of that asking Pakistan to do all for them. WOW what a friend  USA is of Pakistan.

& REMEMMBER THAT “PAKISTAN IS NOT AN COUNTRY SO USA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY MAKE THEIR MOVE AND GET AWAY WITH IT”.

USA only like those democracy which supports its goals and objectives, they don't like truly elected democracy. Most current examples are Hamas (elected by people but rejected by USA), Iran's president (elected by people but rejected by USA).

USA supported the dictatorship of Musharraf and they still not saying to him to leave the president house, now tell me what’s that?

All USA has is just "double standards".

***What USA has done for Pakistan, in order to stop this, they must help Pakistan this is their duty, b/c if Pakistan leave USA in supporting in their so called fight against terrorism all suicidal attacks will start occurring in USA.?***

Answer 6

yes, that is one issue he is right on.

Answer 7

As long as we have "boots" ANYWHERE in the Middle East- American Interests are going to Struggle. -That's Always been a "given". The "tree" McCain is "barking up"- is the WRONG One... He needs to spend MORE time finding Solutions for Americans "struggling" with Problems at HOME- NOT half a World away...  :(

Answer 8

I so happen to agree with McCain on this subject, and yes we should know the ends and outs before we send our American Soldiers.

McCain and Bush have a lot in common and some of it is good.
