McCain: "I saved Bosnians from ethnic cleansing. I saved Kosovars from genocide."

Re: 1st Presidential Debate

Oh yeah, McCain tried very hard to make Obama look bad; but Obama didn't look bad. Though Obama does'nt have as much experience in foreign affairs, but he's still savvy and will learn real quick. He is quick witted and he was much cooler and levelheaded than McCain. I thought Obama presented himself really well. They even talked about it later that Obama was like Kennedy and McCain was more like Nixon on their historical debate. Btw; Obama was against the Iraqi war from the getgo and he specified that if we didn't go into the Iraqi war; Afghanistan wouldn't have been left aside and today they are more powerful than ever thanks to the Iraqi war. He also said that America lost touch with the problems all around the world because he said that, we concentrated so much on the Iraqi war. Obama further said that the whole world including the people of the United States opposed the war; yet the Bush administration didn't listen to no one and went ahead and todate we lost not only 4 thousand young souls, but about 30 thousand injured soldiers and after the medical bills paid it will be 1 trillion dollars lost that we could have used it in the country for the US. Meanwhile McCain said that regardless, now that we are in war though he didn't oppose the war in Iraq from the beginning; but that we should still stay in it and come out of it as a winner he said, for the sake of the soldiers that gave their lives for it. I remember back then that George Bush said that US will be in the war for two to three weeks. So much for the two to three weeks.

I thought McCain made Obama look bad. But all in all, it was a pretty lackluster 'debate' about no real substance or relevance. Just rehashed talking points.

Carter was no more of a genius than bush or any of the presidents after him.

As for carter caring about the environment, maybe, maybe not, but he sure as hell cared about keeping u.s. interests intact in the middle east vis a vis the carter doctrine.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate

Hmm, McCain opines that pulling out of Iraq may cause genocide. Umm, actually, invading Iraq and taking out Saddam may cause genocide.

Not only is McCain a regulator but he is a genocide-denier, um, preventer. What a joke. But then again when your foreign policy adviser is J-ewsih democrat party turncoat and an honorary member of thinktank that wants regime change in Iran, what do you expect.

Brezinski is far more American than Henry Kissinger can ever be. He's definitely expressed opposition to ethnic/religious advocacy groups trying to pressure the U.S. politcal machine.

And, he was a Carter man which makes him even more the better. In the end, Carter was a genius.

When he promoted energy conservation, Republicans wrote him off as aloof. Now, the most aloof presidential candidate right after 43 and plenty of Republicans are 'environmental' advocates ---> hey, the voters love the green platform - can't afford to lose votes because you don't believe in conservation.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate

What a disgusting show that was... Two ignorant representatives of the same stinking establishment that had nothing of substance to say, even about the current economic crisis, even after the were pressed by the moderator several times. Cliches, soundbites, slogans, I love Israel moments,... Every line was rehearsed, every word was commissioned by special interests. I could not stand watching it. It actually reminded me of the tale about Nero fiddling as Rome was burning. In a sense, last night's "presidential debate" was actually scarier that the current economic crisis we are in. Regardless of who will get the election, America 'is' doomed.

I can't believe there were no questions about the surge of Marxism/Leftism in Latin America almost all the way up to the U.S./Mexican border.

Or, Azerbaijan. Yesterday, the closed a deal to purchase $100 mil of weapons, arms and support materials from Israel.
