In that video McCain is in THEIR region, he has been briefed but he still does not understand the difference between the cultures. That knowledge is detrimental to any solutions being made in Iraq.

John McCain stated himself:



So if the man has limited knowledge of the culture in Iraq, and limited knowledge of Economics.. two very important issues in this country at the moment but I know I have heard Obama speak at lengths about both subjects, its quite easy to conclude that McCain is not on the same level as Obama as it pertains to things going on in this country today.

Furthermore, its no secret that if you typically put a 71 year old's mental stability vs someone in their mid 40's, the younger person has a greater mental capacity. There are exceptions but I seriously doubt McCain is one.


I agree to a point, Obama physically would have a more intellectual and more capable brain of learning new knowledge based on age, you can't get around that. But i just simply don't think he will be a good leader, he may know more but i just don't think he has good qualities of leadership; plus i just don't agree with a lot of his policies.



I see where you are coming from though Tony and always respectfully disagree because i see the sense in what you say.



But i do not understand where FcMan is coming from on justifying your right to not vote. I know you have the right, you have the right to sit on your ass and watch spounge bob all day; but it doesn't make you a responsible or respectful human being imo
