Stepping back.....

Too frequently conflict with others or within ourselves comes from being too close, too involved, in a situation or event. 'Stepping back' from the situation can often reveal aspects not otherwise considered or seen.

The Bourgeois Veteran, John McCain

McCain assails Democrats on Iraq
04/11/07

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

(Republican presidential contender John McCain) "Calling the war
'necessary and just,' McCain said those like him who support
Bush's troop increase chose the "hard road" but "right road."

"Democrats, who deny our soldiers the means to prevent an American
defeat, have chosen another road," he said, referring to the standoff
between Democrats in control of Congress and Bush over war funding.
"It may appear to be the easier course of action, but it is a much
more reckless one, and it does them no credit even if it gives them
an advantage in the next election."

This whole thing is the very epitome of someone creating a situation
and then standing back from that situation and thinking it has
nothing to do with them, that it is forces from outside that is
the cause.

President Cheney, uh..., Bush, convinced Congress and most of the
American People that it was necessary to go to war for whatever
reason. Now the war isn't bringing in the schoolyard and back
alley pay-offs that Bush/Cheney envisioned.

I am not really pleased with either Democrats or Republicans, but
we now have John McCain, a Viet Nam veteran, calling the war "necessary
and just" without attempting to give even one valid reason that
it is either necessary or just. You will just have to trust him
on that.

Then, in one very short sentence-
"Democrats, who deny our soldiers the means to prevent an American
defeat,...."-
McCain turns the US invasion of Iraq into the magic shell game of
switching your focus to thinking American soldiers are 'facing a
defeat!'

If we are to believe the political McCain as opposed to the veteran
McCain, we didn't invade Iraq, we were just over there on a holiday
and the Iraqis attacked us!
Yes! THEY attacked us and it is WE who are on the defensive!
WE are facing defeat!

Hello! Is there anyone home in his brain?
Shame on this arrogant, bourgeois veteran!
