I would just like to say that McCains 5 years as a POW have left him with the typical victums mindset. Granting the detains a right to trial must be keeping Bush and McCain awake at night. Just think we may have acted like Nazis by keeping SOME innocent victums in prison. Sound familiar John? I would have loved to be the fly on the wall when the decision was made. I'm shure Bush cursed the very people he put into office for not supporting him. So called preventive strikes on other countries gives the world reson to hate Americans and bolsters recruitment of terrorists. Declaring war on terrorism is like trying to drain the ocean with a cup!

The US news media is controlled by the politicians in office. They prey on the fear that they can instill in middle class America. The corrupt political system in the US and the politicians that control the middle class money are the biggest thieves in this world. President Bush and Cheney will make billions of dollars from any war that they can initiate while they are in office. They are the biggest war criminals in the history of the world with absolute greed and power as their motivator.
Middle class America must stop living in Fear. This election vote for people that have not been in power in the existing system. Vote out corruption and greed. Do not Fear change but Fear the corrupt poltical system created by the long term politicians in power.
I do not like Obama but I want change. I want the corrupt political system BROKEN. What do you want? VOTE against Fear and for Change.

Randy Scheunemann has been at the forefront of the worst foreign policy every crafted in the United States. He is determined to expand the boneheaded war in Iraq to Iran. For the last nine years, he and McCain have been inseparable and it's time the U.S. public became aware of this insidious and destructive relationship.

B. Hussein Obama is piping up against McCain on national security and terrorism. What does he know, a neophyte, empty-suit, ultra-liberal, who would rather "negotiate" with the terrorists than defeat them? The Islamo-facists are dead set and I mean DEAD-set, to conquer the West and spread their hateful, evil religion as well as wiping Israel off the map. It is worth observing that we have had no further successful terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11 and that is due to the hard-line Bush has taken against these hateful low-lives. In the unfortunate event that B. Hussein Obama gets into power, better watch out. Osama is gonna git ya!

John McCain was captured by the Vietnamese and tortured into giving up information and "confessing" to crimes. Does he want America to use that same system rather than our own?!
The American Constitution is the source of our strength, not an impediment to it. We are a great nation because of it, not in spite of it. The American system of fair and open treatment of people is why we have prospered in a hostile world. Do not throw away the American system out of fear of terrorists. It is our best attack against them.

Dear American Voters, reporters and political professionals,
Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees are as under:
1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" experience.
3. "Vision and mission" for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, " first U.S.A Centric" than any other country [ ies ] centric.
In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities.
Senator Obama and his administration along with congress will address all the critical current and future domestic and foreign issues, challenges, and opportunities in coming years.
Let us remember and recite following concepts:
" Family, Friends, Fellows, Faith, Funds, Foundation [s], Fun, with Freedom & Fairness and without Fear, Favor, & Failure" . It applies to every citizen of our Greatgrand Nation.
Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..
Yours truly,
COL. [retd] A.M.Khajawall

PS: Please talk about the " Presidential Temperament And Caliber " of our presumptive presidential Nominees.
Thanks.
