Proof McCain doesn't get "it"

In his own ad running here in New England, McCain uses a quote from a speech he gave where he says, "America will never surrender, and they will." My guess is that it comes from his basic stump speech, and that line shows one of two things: 1. McCain, from way back when he made the infamous stunt where he walked down a street in Baghdad, he swallowed the Neo-Con's philosophy in an attempt to curry their favour. 2. He is really that freaking delusional.

For the record, America has surrendered. It's called Viet Nam.

I tend to believe option 2, that he is that fucking delusional. If this is true, then McCain doesn't get it. He has it exactly back ass-wards. The point is that not only has America surrendered before, but it's in the best interests of America that it do so now. I don't like waiving the white flag, I abhor it. However, there comes a point when one has to look as what's to gain versus what's to lose. America has virtually nothing to gain in this massively inept endeavor, and we risk losing our place in the world as THE Superpower, and risk destroying our economy beyond reproach.

The "evil doers" as Dubya likes to call them, have NOTHING to lose and everything to gain. They will never surrender, for they are on a psychotic religious crusade that knows no rationality. The only possible way to force them to surrender is by atomic bombing them to the stone age, which, quite frankly, I wouldn't mind doing. But, we would ultimately lose that simply because the rest of the Arab would in fair retaliation, come after us hard. And we are in no position to beat that back.

Finally, it only makes sense to end it now. Why did Osama attack the USA? He was peeved that the Americans invaded and pseudo-occupied an Islamic country (Saudia Arabia) during the Gulf War. There is no way to currently quantify how many little Osama's are being created because of this bullshit. To not acknowledge that fact alone shows you don't get it, and thus, you should not be President.
