Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has repeatedly refused to condemn Hezbollah for its role in initiating the Lebanon-Israel conflict. Yesterday, in a press conference with President Bush, he “criticized the ‘damage and destruction’ caused by Israeli attacks but said nothing on Hezbollah’s role.” Other Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt, have condemned Hezbollah for its role in initiating the conflict.

Sen. John McCain appeared on Fox this morning and falsely claimed that Maliki has “condemned Hezbollah.” McCain said that, as a result, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and others who have criticized Malaki for his position on Hezbollah are “not qualified to lead.”

Do you have any idea how many times presidents have seriously mispoken while in office or on the campaign trail? Ford, Carter, Regean (Especially with his jokes), Clinton, Bush (The guy must really have dyslexia) have all said crazy/misinformed things because Geo Politics is increidbly complex.

Cut the man some slack. He didn't know. And I'm not hearing an outcry against him for these sort of misteps. (Nancy Pelosi... ha.)

MMA fans have long known McCain is a lying 2-faced b@stard. Read this excerpt: "UFC's promoters predicted that it would supplant boxing as America's martial art. Instead, it fell apart. The collapse began in 1996, when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., saw a UFC tape. McCain, a lifelong boxing fan, was horrified at the ground fighting, kicks, and head butts. It was "barbaric," he said. It was "not a sport." He sent letters to all 50 governors asking them to ban ultimate fighting. The outcry against "human cockfighting" became a crusade, and like many crusades, it was founded on misunderstanding.

UFC fell victim to cultural determinism about what a fight is. In countries such as Brazil and Japan, where no-holds-barred fighting has a long history, it is popular and uncontroversial. But Americans adhere to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. A fight consists of an exchange of upper-body blows that halts when one fighter falls...

McCain sat ringside at a boxing match where a fighter was killed. When I asked him to explain the moral distinction between boxing and ultimate fighting, he exploded at me, "If you can't see the moral distinction, then we have nothing to talk about!" Then he cut our interview short and stormed out of his office...

The cable TV industry struck the fatal blow. In early 1997, McCain became chairman of the commerce committee, which oversees the cable industry. In April 1997, the president of the National Cable Television Association warned that UFC broadcasts could jeopardize the cable industry's influence in Washington. Time Warner, TCI, Request, Cablevision Systems, Viewer's Choice, and other major operators stopped airing UFC events, saying they were too violent for children. Never mind that 1) UFC only aired on pay-per-view, so children could not see it unless their parents paid for it; and 2) the same cable outfits carried boxing matches, R and NC-17 movies, and professional wrestling shows far more violent than UFC." End Quote. The above along with the Larry King program should tell you all you need to know about the lying, lawbreaking b@stard that McCain is.

Bird1965,
Thank you for posting that. John McCainiac is a confused little man. As a former Republican, I was ashamed to be affiliated with him.

Palosi is one of about 4 dems more liberal than RINO McCain.

What does being a "lying two faced bastard" (IE a politician) have to do with his allegedly being insane?

Going up against the UFC was bull, but it was smart political bull with all the soccer moms out there. The same people who would like to still stop MMA.
