"We can't torture or treat inhumanely suspected terrorists we have captured," he said, drawing scattered applause."
"McCain proposes new global coalition; Also urges closing Guantanamo Bay" by Foon Rhee, Globe Staff | March 27, 2008
John McCain called yesterday for a more cooperative foreign policy enshrined in a new League of Democracies and declared that the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay should be closed. But he also drew a sharp line with his Democratic rivals on the Iraq war.
The speech, tinged with personal reflection about the costs of war, did not offer new initiatives as much as it outlined McCain's view of the world. That outlook seems more multilateral than what critics call President Bush's go-it-alone approach to the world, which culminated in the invasion of Iraq with only the British by America's side among major allies.
More MSM lies!
Please see: A Look at John McCain’s Foreign Policy Vision
McCain proposed a new organization, the League of Democracies, to "harness the vast influence of more than 100 democratic nations around the world to advance our values and defend our shared interests."
"Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed," the presumptive Republican nominee told the Los Angeles World Affairs Council. "We need to listen - we need to listen - to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies."
Pfffffffftttt! BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!
McCain, who sees foreign policy and national security as a strength against the eventual Democratic nominee, directly addressed the proposals of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to withdraw US troops by the middle of 2009.
"It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleansing, and possibly genocide that would follow a reckless, irresponsible, and premature withdrawal," McCain said, drawing sustained applause.
No, we want to stay in there and finish what we started!!!!!
Notice how when we sai it will be terrible before these lying fucks went in they said, "Oh, no, it will be easy, it will be a cakewalk."
Mission accomplished after 6 weeks, right?
Now, when we say the situation is terrible, let's leave, they say "Oh, no, if we leave it will get worse."
HOW CAN IRAQ GET MUCH WORSE?
WE BROUGHT the VIOLENCE and GENOCIDE with us, and I am not reposting the endless links again!!!!!!!!!!
The Democrats, he warned, "are arguing for a course that would eventually draw us into a wider and more difficult war that would entail far greater dangers and sacrifices than we have suffered to date."
How does this shitbag war puke know that?
How can he know that when war plans dissolve when the first boot hits the ground?
See why I am SO TIRED of the FUCKING BULLSHIT!!???
The Democratic National Committee said McCain, in what his campaign had billed as a major policy speech, repackaged old rhetoric and did not offer a way forward in Iraq.
"John McCain is determined to carry out four more years of George Bush's failed policies, including an open-ended war in Iraq that has cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars while making us less safe," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a written statement.
Clinton issued a statement that read in part: "Like President Bush, Senator McCain wants to keep us tied to another country's civil war."
And like McCain, neither one of themn will be withdrawing either!!!!
Sick of the BULLSHIT FOOLEYS of POLITICS!!!!
That's why ZNN is awash in the diarrhea of it all!
In the speech, McCain agreed with many Democrats on the need to explicitly ban torture - an issue on which he has broken with the Bush administration - so America can be a "model citizen."
"We must fight the terrorists and at the same time defend the rights that are at the foundation of our society. We can't torture or treat inhumanely suspected terrorists we have captured," he said, drawing scattered applause. "I believe we should close Guantanamo and work with our allies to forge a new international understanding on the disposition of dangerous detainees under our control."
Yeah, dangerous, yet INNOCENT!!!!
McCain described himself as a "realistic idealist" about the threats the United States faces in the world.
"Only a fool or a fraud sentimentalizes the merciless reality of war," McCain said."
Amerika's NEWSPAPERS and George W. Bush were the first thoughts to hit my mind there!!!!
"I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines.... It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic."
Case fucking closed on AmeriKa's shit media and government, readers!
Time to start TARRING and FEATHERING!!!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King [George] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
BETTER START LISTENING TO US, SHITHEADS!!!!!
