On the seventh day empty "O" finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. LOL!

John McCain: Barack Obama failed the commander-in-chief test on Iraq BY MICHAEL McAULIFF DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Friday, July 25th 2008, 1:40 PM WASHINGTON - John McCain unleashed his harshest broadside yet at Barack Obama Friday aftenoon, accusing the Democrat of flunking the commander-in-chief test. Speaking to veterans in Denver, McCain tore into his rival for opposing President Bush's troop surge in Iraq - one of the few issues where the GOP has gotten traction against Obama during his tour of Europe and U.S. war zones. "Eighteen months ago, America faced a crisis as profound as any in our history," McCain said, declaring that the choice to boost troops in the faltering Iraq war was "a real-time test for a future commander in chief" that Obama failed. "He didn't just advocate defeat, he tried to legislate it," McCain declared in a blistering denunciation that mentioned Obama 16 times and accused him of playing politics with war. "Sen. Obama told the American people what he thought you wanted to hear. I told you the truth," McCain said. "Fortunately, Sen. Obama failed, not our military. We rejected the audacity of hopelessness." Obama traveled to Iraq after McCain and the GOP taunted him for not visiting the war in more than 900 days. While there, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki came out in favor of Obama's plan for the U.S. to withdraw in 16 months, leaving McCain as one of the few remaining advocates of an open-ended U.S commitment. The Republican also ripped Obama for ignoring the surge's successes. "Sen. Obama said this week that even knowing what he knows today that he still - still - would have opposed the surge," said McCain. "Given the opportunity to choose between failure and success, he chose failure. I cannot conceive of a Commander in Chief making that choice." The Obama campaign shot back that McCain was engaged in bogus, backwards-looking attacks. "The American people are looking for a serious debate about the way forward in Iraq and Afghanistan, and angry, false accusations will do nothing to accomplish that goal," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. Burton condemned suggestions that Obama preferred a political win to a military loss. "Barack Obama and John McCain may differ over our strategy in Iraq, but they are united in their support for our brave troops and their desire to protect this nation," Burton said. "Sen. McCain's constant suggestion otherwise is not worthy of the campaign he claimed he would run."
