That would be a good thing to find out when running on your foreign policy experience, no?
McCain doesn’t care. He already has the plans drawn up to continue Bush’s October bombing campaign.
A draft is the only thing that will focus America’s and Congress’s mind on ending Iraq and stopping talk of agression towards Iran. And if it doesn’t happen, business as usual in the Dover coffin industry. More fiasco the rest of your lives.
Meanwhile, Clinton has been marginalized so much she’s following Obama to Florida next week so that she can stay in the news. He’s full bore ignoring her now because she’s become pretty irrelevant–a nasty lying old lady railing into the wind against her. She has accomplished some increasing numbers though–that pant suit large enough to house a tent has grown a few sizes larger. When did irrelevant Hillary get too big to wear a dress?
Hillary tried to buy Super D’s this week and they spurned her. Super D’s are going with a pledge delegate winner–how did insiders like Ickes get so irrelevant and miscalculate so much? Meanwhile Terry McAuliffe and the Billster continue to smoke the good stuff having long ago drifted into delusion land with Jeralyn Merritt who merrily blabbers that Clinton will win the nomination. Jeralyn would do well to raise her client Tim McVeigh from the dead–the odds are better.
LOL “Kentucky Demographics favor Clinton” They sure do and so what. Here’s the reality H/T First Read:
Obama leads in pledged delegates per the NBC hard count (1,602 to 1,444), superdelegates (303.5 to 279.5), overall delegates (1905.5 to 1723.5), the popular vote (16,157,639 to 15,583,020), and the total number of contests won (31 to 17). Note: We’re not including Texas in this contest count, given that Clinton won the primary but Obama won the caucus and netted the most total Texas delegates. A bit more on the popular vote… Without adding Florida and Michigan, as noted above, Obama leads by 574,619 votes. Adding Florida to the mix, he leads by 279,847 (16,733,853 to 16,454,006). And adding Michigan but not “uncommitted,” Clinton leads by 48,462 (16,782,315 to 16,733,853). But do note that the “uncommitted” vote was 238,168.
Per NBC’s delegate count, he needs to pick up just 25 to achieve this (not counting some Edwards delegates, which the Obama campaign has already added in to their totals). Yet as the Clinton campaign has pointed out, the milestone is only a symbolic one, but it’s still likely to be the dominant storyline tonight. By the way, if Obama picks up approximately 50 delegates tonight, then he’ll clinch a majority of the pledged delegates even if you add in Michigan and Florida as they originally voted.
So after tonight, whatever gets decided for Florida and Michigan may make some people feel better, but it has nothing to do with the result in this primary race.
We don’t have primaries anymore we have “census surveys.”
I hate to give McBush a pass on anything, but, well, who IS in charge of Iran? Ahmadinejad? The Mullahs? The Supreme Ayatollah? The Revolutionary Guards? Someone else?
If I had to guess, I’d guess The Ayatollah’s words is law, but he doesn’t give it without checking with others first.
Boxturtle (Doesn’t change the fact that McBush is critically clueless about Iran)
The one thing he knows is he is totally controlled by the lobbyists. He is comfortable with the arrangement.
Yeah, that’s a point. So as long as the lobbyists know foreign policy, we should be fine.
If he’s going to start or maintain a war with a given country, the least he could do is prove he can find it on the map!
Boxturtle (No, Senator, that’s Saudi Arabia. But you’re getting closer)
It sure as hell isn’t Ahmadinejad–it’s the Mullahs and the Atolayah in the short run but in the long run it’s the younger generation including university students who aren’t having the fundamentalist crap and want a pro-Western government. Bush and McCain and the 25% of Clinton supporter idiots who are now McCainistas are too stupid to tap into this.
Is there something in the DC water supply that rendered brain chemistry allergic to facts and reality?
Iranian Americans know that Ahmadinejad is a clown. An Iranian version of Bush, if you will, without the power that Bush has.
So as the Kennedy clan piles in their Chevy Suburbans at BMG, America continues to suck at the tit of the Saudis, a complete slave to oil because they will not cut back and they will not migrate to fuel efficient cars and continue to drive the big ass gas sucking SUVs because “mine is bigger and can crush you” is the American ethos. Keep suckin’ that oil America.
What’s stopping the US from capitalizing on this then, instead of having an idiot whose foreign policy has been a failure on every single front in the middle east with Malano Blahnik chomping Condi running it into the ground. The only East where Condi has made a dent is the Upper East side with her charge cards.

BoxTurtle,
I don’t know if this answers your question, but I found a handy chart at the bbc site.
Ali Khamenei became the Supreme Leader of Iran on 6/4/89, the day after the Ayatollah Khomeini died.
“Supreme Leader” — means just that.
Anyone who doesn’t know this is unfit to be President.
But just like sex, the MSM focuses on the clown antics ofAhmadinejad just as the stupid administration and its stupid Condi Rice does rather than the real dynamics in Iran.
I think this campaign is trying its best to dispense with the term “president” and just going for Commander in Chief.
