Do These Foreign Affairs Misstatements Make You Worry That Mccain May Be “losing The Plot”?

It sure as anything worries me:
“McCain misstates some facts in foreign-policy debate
John McCain and Barack Obama clashed repeatedly over foreign policy in their first presidential debate Friday night, crossing swords on Iran and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
McCain made the most notable misstatements and stumbled over the names of the leaders of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose name he couldn’t pronounce, and of Pakistan, referring to the latter as “Qadari” instead of Asif Ali Zardari.
McCain incorrectly asserted that former Gen. Pervez Musharraf rescued Pakistan from being a “failed state” when he seized power in a 1999 coup. …
Asked if he would send more troops to help contain the worsening war in Afghanistan, where U.S. combat casualties are now running higher than in Iraq, McCain said that he would … But senior U.S. defense officials say that a similar strategy can’t be replicated in Afghanistan. …
McCain clearly mischaracterized Obama’s reaction to Russia’s August invasion of its neighbor Georgia…. ”
And so on, and so forth …

America lost the plot when George W. Bush stole the presidency the first time and then some misguided souls voted him in the second time…
McCain scares me because it seems like he wants to continue making war, not love (no Viagra for him I guess) and Palin is even scarier because whenever someone starts mentioning God and holy missions of war I see visions of crazed terrorists in my head…
It is time for America to wake up, step up, shape up, get heads out of asses and see it clear!
i am not, in the least,worried about mispronouncing some of those names in that part of the world.i still can’t pronounce akmadinnerjacket and i’m not under sctutiny.the same goes for obama or anyone.
everything else you stated is a mattter of judgement and opinion.
No, just because he can’t pronounce the Muslim names like obama can since he knows muslims, does not mean he is incapable to do the job. Besides obama does not even hold a candle to McCain foreign policy knowledge.
IMHO Obama was even less convincing in his attempt to give people the warm and fuzzies in regard to foreign affairs.
ya know what It made me physically ill to watch John McCain ..we know this guy is for the big businesses and no matter WHAT he says is gonna continue ti give it to the working class, shoving it sideways up our poop shoots, he sounded very rehearsed and scripted. McCain is also old and decrepit, when I look at him I smell death and flowers like being in a funeral home, Obama has an air of hope about him, he’s young and fresh we need a new fresh start here in the U S and Obama is very brainy and will surround hiumself with the very best thinkers and doers
