McCAIN: IF IT WASN’T FOR THE SURGE THERE WOULD BE NO AMERICA
By R J Shulman
DENVER – Dismissing criticism that he had mistakenly attributed success to the troop surge for “the Anwar Awakening, which occurred before the surge began,” McCain told a group of veterans that the surge has been an important part of keeping America safe. “The troop surge in Iraq helped us with North Korea, won World War II and was instrumental in our greatest victory, Viet Nam. In fact,” McCain said, “if it wasn’t for the troop surge in Iraq, our brave revolutionary patriots could never have beat back the British Red Coats on the border between Vermont and Georgia.”

McCain has chided his rival, Barack Obama for not being fit to be commander in chief because he failed to support the troop surge. “While Obama is at a photo op showing off to 200,000 Germans if front of some Communist gate,” McCain said, “I am talking to 20 real Americans in a German Restaurant over here in Ohio explaining to them my five point plan on why they should be afraid of Obama.”

An Obama spokesman, Marcus Griffin said he thought that McCain has not only lost touch with Americans but lost touch with reality. “The next thing you know,” Griffin said, “McCain will say the surge had something to do with Jesus.” McCain will leave Denver for San Antonio where he will address Rev. John Hagee’s congregation with a speech entitled, “The Surge and our Savior: Why Obama’s opposition to the surge would have put the baby Jesus in grave danger.”
