"Teamsters union endorses Obama as key votes loom"
"Heated exchange on Pakistan remarks"
COLUMBUS, Ohio - John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, pressed questions yesterday about Barack Obama's foreign policy credentials.
McCain, in a victory speech Tuesday night and again yesterday, criticized Obama for saying last summer that, if elected, he might order unilateral military strikes in Pakistan against Al Qaeda.
McCain told reporters:
"There's ways of working with leaders of other countries, and the one thing you don't want to do is embarrass them. So I announce tomorrow, by the way, I don't care what the Pakistani government and people feel, I'm going to go bomb Pakistan. That's just not the kind of way to conduct foreign policy and national security policy."
I'll remember that when you are THREATING IRAN, you senile, insane, fossilized madman!!!!
"McCain urges veto of interrogation bill"
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio - John McCain said yesterday that President Bush should veto a measure that would bar the CIA from using waterboarding and other controversial interrogation methods on terror suspects.Yeah, that's the DOUBLE-TALKING, STRAIGHT-TALK EXPRESS, huh?
The North Vietnamese should have kept you, asshole!!!!!
McCain voted against the bill, which would limit the CIA to using only the 19 interrogation techniques listed in the Army Field Manual. His vote was controversial because the manual prohibits waterboarding - a simulated drowning technique the senator opposes - yet McCain doesn't want the CIA bound by the manual and its prohibitions.
McCain told reporters:
"I knew I would be criticized for it. I think I can show my record is clear. I said there should be additional techniques allowed to other agencies of government as long as they were not [torture]."
Record sure is clear, you lying, double-talking shit bag!
McCain also said he disapproves that Bush sometimes signs legislation he dislikes, then issues critical "signing statements" outlining his objections and sometimes overturning the intent of the law.
McCain: "If I disagree with a law that's passed, I'll veto it."
Can we veto you, shitter?
