no it does not count as foreign policy at all. Neither does how many heads of state you have met or how many countries you have visits count as foreign policy.

Paul when are you off work I'll give you a ring I was slammed all weeknd

Kidd...I don't believe it....we agree.

I think all parties involved are a little weak on that issue.

I want to vote on the third option just for the hell of it but I won't.

Of course it does. This is American politics. You're experience doesn't actually have to be relative to the job you're applying for. Look at McCain, just because he crashed some planes in Vietnam, he goes around bragging about how he understands "National Security" so much better than Obama does.

I lived next to a lake for five years. In this country, that of course means I'm perfectly qualified to be an amphibian.

I mean Really? Living next to a lake< being beat for 5 years in a foreign country and never gave up or broke...........wow it makes soo much since now:thinking:

McCain has almost died for his country, has spent many nights wondering if that was his last, has put his country before himself multiple times. He has forgotten more about national security than Obama will ever know. I don't think you understand the Concept of "National Security", given you quote. You also might want to look into McCains history alittle further. Crashing some planes in VN was about 1/100th of what happened to McCain when he was there. He knows that there will have to be sacrifices to maintain a certain level of Security. He was an eye witness to many sacrifices. Make a point to check yourself before you make such a provencial comment.

OH and yes I am in the Military.

I read McCain's book Faith of my Fathers. In the book he writes about how he was offered early release because his father was an admiral. His captors sought to demoralize the other prisoners by showing them that because McCain was in a higher class in American society that he was privileged and they were not. The POW code provided by the US military stsates that POW's should be realeased primarily with concerns to health (critically injured first) secondarily in order of capture (first captured first released). McCain successfully resisted their attempts to send him home, keeping his obligation to the code and his fellow captives.

Thats all well and good. McCain is a war hero and no one disputes it. But his experience in Vietnam did not give him any greater understanding of national security or foreign policy. His experience in Vietnam was a personal struggle with his captors. I don't see any correlation to how that will keep america safe from terrorists. :2cents:

McCain is only good at provoking other countries.

I personally dont believe our actions in Iraq is related to America's security and I feel sorry for the ones that actually think it is.
I have looked into his history, he has only gotten crazier.

But if he ever does become president, lets hope he is not as crazy ass pyscho as Cheney. Cheney is straight evil.

agreed.......Im glad that you read the book........lets be honest, neither of the candidates are clear winners........I have seen what we are in Iraq doing first hand. The media really plays up the conflict there, we are doing good, we are going after the people that house and support terrorism, and we are getting Iraq on a steady path towards, and we will go from Iraq to Afganistan, and Im sure to somewhere else, until we get rid of the threat of terrorism. I also have read many books about Veitnam and WW2 etc......most of them first hand accounts, and to know that McCain suffered the same, if not more, intense situations that some of the others have, and is still of sound mind and heart, he gets my vote over Obama anyday. Neither has great foreign policy, imho, but I give my vote to the guy that has at least been there, and done that ,verses the guy that stumbles over himself day after day when asked about foreign policy(because he has never been in charge of something, more or less in charge of anything to do with foreign policy). I believe that both parties have shorted themselves when it comes to the right candidate, but that doesnt matter anymore, we have to choose from what we got. And what we have is a VN vet who appreciates life and knows death and that sometimes it takes death to protect life, and then we have a guy that woke up one day and decided to run for president with no real qualifications at all. I vote McCain(as if you cant tell LOL), not really because I want to but because I have to, and the other options.....to me .....are last resort.
Peace and God Bless America
