McCain Rewrites History on ‘Rogue-State Rollback’

“I’d institute a policy that I call ‘rogue state rollback,’” said McCain. “I would arm, train, equip, both from without and from within, forces that would eventually overthrow the governments and install free and democratically- elected governments.”
And what you then get, McCain, is a war. A civil war in the “rogue state” and/or a guerilla war against the American forces that will always need to be on the ground. And therefore this is a strong argument to call you a warmonger.
We can’t afford another President of this mindset in America. It will mean the decline of America’s greatness as a democracy that promotes peace in the world. And it will lead our country to bankruptcy.

McCain was talking about arming the Kurds in 2000. McCain wasn’t talking about declaring war.
Once again the media has taken McCain out of context.

“Obama is the one blustering about going into Pakistan to fight a war”
No sir. Obama talked about rocket attacks on Al Qaeda and Taliban headquarter targets. He was bashed for the proposal, and then the US carried one out, with great succes. Such precision attacks enlarge our national security, and although Pakistan will protest, our enemies there are the enemies of the Pakistan government as well.

I worked for McCain’s campaign in 2000. I assure you that “rogue state rollback” meant overthrowing ableit not inherently by military force alone all “oppressive” (read anti-globalist) countries of the world. Cuba, China, North Korea, in other words the SAME countries that Bush went after when he won. Either way, this policy would be carried out either covertly (by CIA and opposition forces in their governments) or overtly with direct invasion and use of military forces against said states. This has been the strategy of the men behind the curtain for a long time, and we are only now getting to see how this strategy bears (rotten) fruit. McCain has embraced the new strategm that you can “spread Democracy at the barrell of a gun.” I believe that using the tactics that you despise against your enemy to prevent them from getting to do it to their own people is insane. And I now am relieved that he lost in 2000, and stands a good chance of losing again this time around. Not that it will matter with Hilliary staying in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and invading Iran. Or Obama doing the same minus troops from Iraq being sent into Afghanistan and Iran. There simply is not plan to stop this madnees among these screened canidates we were given by the mighty to choose from. Anybody who thinks different is a fool or worse. “He who dares not reason is a slave.” Are you enjoying your servitude???

I use to love Sen McCain. Now he is just a “McBush.” He sold his principles for a chance to be President before Alzheimer’s sets in for good. It’s a shame to see such a great patriot sell his soul for political possibility.

Jason…OK. We get it. You’re a McCain supporter. But what’s to say he won’t change his mind again after the election? What’s to prevent him from taking into his cabinet the Bush neo’s? What’s to suggest he is as insistent as the American people that our troops come back home.
McCain is a Republican. If he’s elected over 90% of the GOP policies will continue.

And who is to say Obama wouldn’t implement anything he says he will?
Maybe nothing will change. Maybe that’s a ruse to get himself elected.

McCain is liable to do or say anything…he is a loose cannon. That’s why Republicans don’t trust him and why Democrats should steer clear of him. No telling what he might do. Also, he’s old, out of touch, and very apt to do or say whatever will please the Republican base. His presidency would be just as bad as Bush. Possibly he wouldn’t be so stupid as to offend our allies the way Bush went out of his way to do, but McCain will be obligated to the same crowd as Bush. He’d be more of the same.

John McWar’s no patriot; supporting an endless war costing $32,000/american. Compounded with interest, we’ll work years more before retirement; for what, to prevent a 911, 3000 deaths = to 1 months of car fatailities or 1 month of domestic gun crimes that could be reduced for 1/1000 the cost of war; plus enraging the world to hate the US.

By the way, looking closely, have you noticed how bitter Lou Doubs and Rick Wilson look lately, as the so-called “Obama bitter comment” seems not to be having traction with voters in the direction they would hope?
Now, on McCain, Bush also was all over the place with his anti-nation building promises; but, look what happened after the elections were over. The real McCain is still the one we knew before this race. He is basically a good man, but he still one of a dangerous mindset that has led us into perpetual wars and has removed us away from the rest of the world, and now, is also killing our economy.

McCain is the media’s puppet. He was pushed up at the last moment and the ignorant public went and voted for him. He has Lieberman,Al Gore’s VP, at his side to correct his “misspeaking”. We are now going to be stuck with 3 of the same. Just like Bush is pushing the socialist agenda while fooling us with tax cuts. Your savings, pensions get confiscated by inflation and we get pushed into higher tax brackets. It makes no difference which one you vote for.

Wow, actual journalism!
Next time, maybe someone could ask him to explain his flip-flopping, and why there is such a HUGE DOUBLE STANDARD about past comments from Sen. McCain (who is let off the hook every time) vs. Sen. Obama/Clinton (who take a beating in the press).
Maybe? Should I hold my breath?

Interesting. Locally, Conservatives will not vote for McCain but will vote for Clinton if she is on the ballot. These same Conservatives will vote for McCain if Obama is on the ballot. If nothing else, it is an exciting race all the way around.

Obama is throwing money at select pollsters to conivnce people Clinton is unelectable. Today’s headline is a fraud. He is scared to death of a PA blowout by Hillary.

geevill, you cannot really believe that do you. Well if you do, you are delusional. Regardless of what happens in the primary next week, Clinton’s days are numbered.

DCVoter, Hillary the Bosnian General is unelectable and you know that reality. The article has nothing to do with vote or delegates count in MI or FL, it is about McCain’s mindset, a warmonger who thinks only about military solutions which do not exist. In the 21st century conventional war doesn’t exist thus no straight military victory, terrorism is the enemy to fight against in a non conventional way. Jason, McCain loves war and now has accepted torture and he is promoting it. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

I bet you won’t see the press say hardly a word about this on the ‘nightly news’, even while they have flaming headlines about trivia regarding the Democrats’ race..in other words, the “liberal” press will cover McCain’s tracks and sugar coat his record but will continue to try to whip up controversy with the Democratic candidates. The press is owned by right wing corporations who are openly biased in favor of the Republicans.
They don’t report much on McCain’s faults, only on the Dems’ faults.

It’s really funny to see all the left wingers here calling McCain a flip flop when the king of flip flop and the queen of liars are Obama and Hillary.
