Obama vs. McCain on the Surge (Update)

I’m stealing this clip from Ed at Hot Air. Regular readers are probably sick of this topic, but in my own defense, this is the first time the candidates have squared off (albeit via Katie Couric) on this issue. The result is Obama makes a fool of himself and McCain gets in some of his best lines to date:
Do Americans care or are they only looking for a pretty face this election cycle? Obama continues to use the “Judgment to Lead” tag line on his podium. Perhaps this would be better:
Update: Ann Althouse reads the riot act to leftist tool Joe Klein:
The point is that Obama’s judgment would have led this country to jump headlong into defeat. We now must decide if we want this man making choices about things that will arise in the future.
Um, no.

“He would rather lose a war than lose a campaign.” Priceless.
As much success as the surge has had, we should expect a terrorist/insurgent surge in the fall. They know what’s going to happen in November too.
July 23, 2008 @ 12:13 pmThe surge can be successful in LA. More police = less violence. So what? That was an easy call. But if the success of the surge will be measured by a solid democracy in Baghdad, the jury is still out.
In the end, the surge just elongated the inevitable. Here are two Bush backtracks that you haven’t reported upon.
1. Time horizon ( a politicians way of saying timetable)
2. Diplomats engaging Tehran before they made any concessions.
In the end, Obama and McCain = New boss same as the Old boss!
July 23, 2008 @ 12:24 pmObama is nothing more than a pathological liar. His comments on the surge’s success in helping to bring the various parties together in Iraq were essentially vile. He intimated the military success was coincidental or simply a by product of the political success. This individual whose only real experience is organizing street people in Chicago will stoop to anything to win an election. Also, I believe he is programmed by others on what to say since he obviously knows nothing.
He reminds me of the “Manchurian Candidate”. One has to wonder who the “Brain trust” is that provides him his lines.
By the way, I am 66 years old, use to be a democrat, and of all the candidates I have seen since I started voting he is without a doubt the most pitiful puppet I have ever seen. The question is, who is or perhaps are, the puppet masters.
July 23, 2008 @ 5:52 pmHe is therefore well qualified to be a politician.

American way.
