    I've heard people from Pakistan pronounce it both ways. I am not so sure there is a right or wrong.

    Now, if we could just you Americans pronouncing AUSTRALIA correctly .....

    Knowing quite a few people from that area, I wouldn't be so sure. I can tell you any time Obama talks about Pakistan, people I know always praise him for how he says Pakistan. Now I am not saying that Pakistanis don't mind Obama invading their country, but I'd bet my life on it they'd rather it be Obama than McCain.

    Can't edit, so let me just add this on: I didn't mean McCain would invade Pakistan, but in my experience, Pakistanis are much more afraid of John McCain and his agenda in that area than they are of Obama's agenda.

    Dude, let me put it to you this way....

    If we had rogue, violent secessionists in, say, Alaska, and they were hated the world over for destroying buildings in major cities, and we were so inept that we could not get our **** straight up in Alaska... would I really mind if Canada went in and took out the secessionists?

    No I would not.

    Okay, but George Bush says "nuc-u-lur";therefore, he should have been impeached a long time ago.

    I just received a text from a friend of mine who is well connected. There is a mammoth post coming the bbs. It will hit the boards soon. Brace yourselves, readers, brace yourselves.

    This mammoth post will be a list of all the times TJ has self-pwned. It will start with the previous announcements of big news that will wreck the Obama campaign.

    It will include lies by TJ such as the one he told earlier about Obama not meeting Petraeus prior to the recent trip to Iraq. It will also include the time when TJ posted something about Obama putting ambition first, only to have the thread blow up on him when the McCain quote surfaced about him running for the presidency out of pure ambition. The post will be extremely looooooong.

    Brace yourself readers.

    Oh I can't wait!

    I assume you're going straight to Intrade with this knowledge? Obama is now at 72.0% and rising fast.

    Plus, take the bet.

    You have zero credibility -- zero -- if you are counting Petraeus' testimony in front of Congress as a 'meeting' with Obama. That's outrageous. Obama lashed into him, disrespected him, and told him the surge would fail. He was wrong, wrong, and wrong. Are you seriously trying to escape the argument by claiming that disgrace of a performance by Snobama was a 'meeting'? Give us a break.

    People like you will get yours. Very soon.

    Is it the new McCain strategy?


    I heard it went something like this:
    Cindy McCain will give everyone a free beer if John is elected.

    Immature, not really. Borderline offensive, maybe.

    I'm just using some cynical, dumb comment to show my disbelief of the importance of whatever T_J has for us.


    That video, though, what is it's importance? It just shows that Biden has much respect for McCain, something that we've all gathered.
