“This vote may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary voters, but it’s the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda,” McCain said, regarding the vote of his Democratic opponents.
Unfortunately, Obama should have heeded Jacques Chirac's advice, he missed a great opportunity to shut up.
“And if there ever was a reflection of that it's the fact that Senator McCain required a flack jacket, 10 armored Humvees, two Apache attack helicopters, and 100 soldiers with rifles by his side to stroll through a market in Baghdad just a few weeks ago,” Obama said in a statement.
Setting up a classic reverse Chickenhawk:
“While Senator Obama’s two years in the U.S. Senate certainly entitle him to vote against funding our troops, my service and experience combined with conversations with military leaders on the ground in Iraq lead me to believe that we must give this new strategy a chance to succeed because the consequences of failure would be catastrophic to our nation's security,” McCain said.
Followed up by a swift kick to the fourth point of contact.
“By the way, Senator Obama, it’s a ‘flak’ jacket, not a ‘flack’ jacket,” McCain said.
The irony of Obamas experience with 'flacks' over "flak' is not unappreciated. Coincidentally, Streiff by way of his posting, also reconciles his opinion of Obama, with mine which is (appreciated).
