Lessons of Iraq.

Have to use military wisely.

O: I've got a bracelet too! Good for you. Now what are you going to do?
OK, the question is "are we making good judgements?" We took oiur eye off Afghanistan and the people who did 9/11. M has not been consistently concerned with Afghanistan.
M: O didn't go to Afghanistan, I've been there. good for you John. You know what color the dirt is there.

Threat from Iran
M: nuclear weapons! Threat to Isreal. "Second holocaust." politics of fear Puffy?
"League of democracy" Impose sanctions. . . lousy gov't lousy economy. We can affect IRanian behavior. "nuclear weapons." IEDs in IRaq." "Trained in Iran." "Republic guard in Iran." "nuclear weapons."

O: The war in Iraq has trenghthened Iran. We removed Iran's mortal energy.
Toughr sanctions, but we can't do it without Russia and China. tough direct diplomacy. Not talking to people doesn't punish and doesn't work.

Russia. . . blah, blah, blah.

Puffy McCain is a deeply snide sarcastic little bitch.

M: "I've been to Russia. . . blah blah blah"

Likelihood of another 9/11 attack

M: I've worked across the aile. We are safer. I, I ,I. blah, blah, blah. Generic bullshit. . .borders. . .

O: long way to go. harden chemical sites, transit
biggest threat. suitcase nuke.
billions on missle defense. need to focus on nuclear proliferation
have to focus on AlQuida in Afghan and Paki
The way e are perceived in the world matters.
Restore our respect in the world.

M: Gen Petreus said, Iraq, blah, blah.


O: Sen McCain has been solely focused on Iraq. Bin Laden still outthere, Alquida still alive and well, we're borrowing hugely from China anll becaus of Iraq.
Spending 10 bill a month on Iraq so we can't provide health care, technology.
We can't maintain military security as economy declines.
Have to have broader strategic decision

M: I've been involved in everything the past 25 yrs.. Obama hasnt. He doesn't have knowledge or experience. Veterans, I love them. I have the ability and background.

O: Send message to the world, we're going to invest in education and ordinary people.
