Shiites ruin McCain’s Sunni disposition Sunday, May 11, 2008 From Andy Borowitz: In a major speech on the war in Iraq today, presumptive GOP nominee Sen. John McCain said that the Iraqis have split into two factions, Shiites and Sunnis, with a sinister goal in mind. “My friends, the Iraqis have divided themselves into these two groups for one reason and one reason only,” McCain told an audience in a retirement village in Scottsdale, Ariz. “They are trying to confuse me.” McCain said that while the two groups of Iraqis are "well-nigh impossible" to tell apart, he vowed to commit American troops to Iraq "for as long as it takes for me to figure out just what the difference between Sunnis and Shiites is."

That is probably the best reason I have heard yet why we should stay in Iraq.

Racial wars and religious wars have been going on since the beginning of time. Millions have died for their religion and race.
Nothing changes. I say let them kill off one another. I really don't mean that but what other solutions apply? |

No... I dont' think it will get interesting because of Barr. He's a Ross Perot wanna be who will hurt McCain as much as he hurts Obama. You do have a certain amount of disenfranchised Republicans who will defect, but you have a lot of Democrats who are going to have a hard time voting for Obama or McCain and will throw their vote to Barr just as a protest vote. No affect...
That's not to say I don't think this is going to be interesting!!! I do... This message has been edited. Last edited by: 2494906, |

Don't bet on it! Some on here have used the Onion as proof of their points before.

I was assuming that he did realize it... But now I'm beginning to wonder!

but wait...
Andy included one important piece of information at the end of his piece... "Elsewhere, United and US Airways entered merger talks, hoping to combine their lack of services" I see an evil corporate conspiracy brewing..... |

As I was reading it, I was thinking that McCain had to be joking and making fun of himself until I got to that last line. |

Then why did you say it? I'm really getting tired of people saying, "I really hate what's happening in the Middle East. They should just kill each other." |
