Why the hell is John McCain being interviewed on CNN or on any other media outlet? The man lost the election, largely because most of what he had to say as a candidate made no sense whatsoever. It was obvious to a majority of voters that McCain was confused, addled, and not very bright. Not to mention he was and is ethically and morally challenged.CNN though, unworried about such trivialities, sets up a situation which gives McCain opportunity to warn President Obama that if he doesn't send 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan like Gen. McChrystal wants him to do, he will be making "an error of historic proportions."
Heh. Heh.
This from the clown who didn't (and likely still doesn't) know the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims! This from the joker who was so consumed with a delusional need to become president that, at the behest of the extremist christianist wingnuts in the Repugnican Party, he asked the dimwit, Sarah Palin, to be his running mate!
McCain is not president because the people sensed rightly he would continue the Bush policy of making one horrendous decision after another. McCain said he thought it would be no problem to keep troops in Iraq for another 100 years, if necessary! By this time, McCain would have very likely embroiled us in another war with Iran. And when it comes to the economy or health care - well, McCain has always been the lobbyists' best friend, so you can guess his course of action in those areas!
Unfortunately, there are no easy answers with regard to Afghanistan. One thing we know for sure, though: We cannot win this war! I say, "we," with tongue-in-cheek. The warmongers among the military are walking down the exact same road we walked in Vietnam; we're following the same war-weary policies that got so many of our young people killed unnecessarily and for no purpose.
Afghanistan is no different. We have no business there. We cannot win. What should we do?
McCain, the Repugnicans, the Pentagon, and the defense industry (the latter desperately needing a continuing war to continue to make its insane profits) all cry: Send more troops, send more troops!
For what purpose? To what end? How many lives are we willing to sacrifice on the altar of greed and militarism before the body bags become too many and too heavy to bear?
McCain warns Obama not to make a mistake of "historic proportions." McCain thereby makes his own mistake of historic proportions, which would be hysterical if it wasn't so damn serious and so damn deadly!
Bring the troops home and bring them home now. And send McCain back to Arizona where he can sit in one of his many homes with his wife, Cindy, and blow on his soup. And tell him to STFU!

It amazes me that after losing so badly in two elections, the Republicans keep insisting on telling the winners what the American people want. If that were so, Obama would have lost to McCain. I do not understand how pundits keep their jobs, after being proven wrong so often. It is as if the election was some fluke, like the Supreme Court picks Presidents, or something. Talk about sore losers.
