John McCain stated in last night’s debate that he regrets the fact that we quit supporting the “freedom fighters” of Afghanistan after they chased the Russians out of their homeland.  Now I know that ever since Ronald Reagan, Republicans like to refer to these rebels as “freedom fighters”, but they preferred to call their conflict with Russia the Mujahideen.  They considered themselves Mujahids, which translates, Muslims fighting in a Jihad… Hmmm – Doesn’t that make them Jihadists?   Since many of the Jihadists were from outside of Afghanistan, I prefer to call them terrorists. 

The Russians left Afghanistan in 1989 in large part due to the United States’ support of the Jihadists.  We supported the Islamo-Fascists then because their enemy was our enemy.  But hey, by today’s definition, wouldn’t that have made us State sponsors of terror?  Does McCain really regret not supporting Jihadists since 1989?  Doesn’t John know that Bin Laden was a prominent member of the Mujahideen?   Does McCain really regret not supporting Osama Bin Laden since 1989?  And, why in the world, does he regret the US not being a State sponsor of terror anymore? 

John McCain just doesn’t get it.  You have to know a little history… You have to know that the Shia and Sunni have a long history of violence towards each other.  You can’t make naive decisions based on your gut without conducting thoughtful research and analyzing the situation carefully.  It appears that McCain is unable or temperamentally unwilling to do either.

Good news everyone. Fox has a new reality television series in development. The series will be set in John McCain’s eighth home (an apartment), and show us that he is a regular guy by broadcasting his interactions with his two roommates. Hear that? He has a lot of homes, but that’s because he has a lot of roommates. Anyway, Fox has put out some teasers.

Wow, John’s a messy bastard, but he can sure deflect criticism well. Fuck a messy kitchen table, I mean he kept everything else clean in a cell in Hanoi for five and a half years. Of course he forgets to clean the table. He didn’t have one for five and a half years when he was a POW in Hanoi.

On to the next promo. Oh snap, John asked a girl to move in and didn’t ask the guys. Do you think this means he won’t ask Congress when he starts wars with Afghanistan, Russia, and North Korea? Well, I was undecided, but now I am firmly in Obama’s corner.

Okay, what have we gleaned from this? John makes messes, and doesn’t clean them up (can you say Iraq). Also, he won’t have to sell the war with Iran to Congress and the American people, because he’ll just do it without asking permission.
