ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
— Republican John McCain on Monday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack
Obama for not having been to Iraq
since 2006, and said they should visit the war zone together.
"Look at what happened in the last two years since Senator Obama
visited and declared the war lost," the GOP presidential
nominee-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview, noting that the
Illinois senator's last trip to Iraq came before the military buildup that is
credited with curbing violence.
"He really has no experience or knowledge or judgment about the issue
of Iraq and he has wanted to
surrender for a long time," the Arizona
senator added. "If there was any other issue before the American people,
and you hadn't had anything to do with it in a couple of years, I think the
American people would judge that very harshly."
McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam
prisoner of war, frequently argues that he's the most qualified candidate to be
a wartime commander in chief. In recent weeks, he has sought portray Obama, a
first-term senator, as naive on foreign policy and not experienced enough to
lead the military.
The Iraq
war, which polls have shown that most of the country opposes, is shaping up to
be a defining issue in the November presidential election.

Mr McCain, his cohorts and his supporters are guilty of
preemptive war, which is mass murder. They have so corrupted the various
judicial systems they will never stand trial for their crimes.

Fortunately, they can not avoid justice after death.
