Advisers: McCain Won't Support Mideast Peace Process

Jewish Telegraph Agency:

A McCain administration would discourage Israeli-Syrian peace talks and refrain from actively engaging in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

That was the message delivered over the weekend by two McCain advisers -- Max Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Richard Williamson, the Bush administration's special envoy to Sudan -- during a retreat hosted by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy at the Lansdowne Resort in rural Virginia.

Why should he? He would be the WAR president, not the PEACE president. The presidency is the only way he can get the command position he was denied due to his lack of fitness and, if I may repeat him, his POW status for 5 and 1/2 years.

Besides, how can he SHOW that he knows how to WIN wars without wars?

I cannot see how an electoral college majority can vote for McCain for this alone and it isn't alone. Thank goodness I have someone to vote FOR rather than just vote AGAINST McCain. I will be putting my actions where my words and money have been by becoming active in the Obama campaign. I will be joining phone banks and have volunteered for even more, if the Obama campaign will have me.

"My friends," saying he will not support the Mideast peace process is insane. There I said it. These people are insane. And that's no lie. My name is "Rescisco," and I approve this message.

john mccain wants to lose the election. he is deteriorating more every day, as evidenced by his bizarre behavior. can you imagine more war in the middle east and war with russia over georgia? what can he and his advisors be thinking?

[jeanrenoir]

What McCain and his ventriloquist Lieberman can be thinking is that they are working for Likud in Israel which doesn't WANT the peace process at all, but wants only to control the region with force, preferably America's blood and treasure, which McCain can hardly wait to supply them in Iran, as dessert for the Bush neocon proxy war for Israel in Iraq.

No. We are ending this crap now!!!! My son will not be sacrafised for war. I will move out of this country before I let that happen. Its time we take our country and our children's future back.

Remember, John McCain does not speak for John McCain's campaign. His presidency will be the remake of "While You Were Sleeping".

[08Voter]

LOL! McCain is off his rocker! Him as President and the Moose as VP equals destruction!

[Fabienne]

No surprise this. Cain's only foreign policy is violence.

What a set up...
Buy some snake oil from me today...

Armageddon, don't be late....
While my VP lac-e-tates
The whole family eagerly awaits
Armaggedon here I come!"

[jnah]

he wouldn't know diplomacy if he kicked him in his old balls. He said he wouldn't meet with the president of spain, one of our allies!

[TroubleNYC]

People need to google Max Boot and his quotes. NUTJOB!

[jingles32]

I hope the O team is taking note of this, along with today's Ireland lie, etc. This man is scary. Lock and load, O!

[jeffp26]

Actually take it from someone who got shot at in Vietnam, you first load, then lock!!!!

[owendog]

McCain has stated repeatedly that he knows how to win wars. I think that should be one of the moderators questions during the Friday debate: What policies would you put in place once in office to "win" the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? And, in your mind, constitutes winning the wars?

[Grunty1]

He'll break into song "Bomb Bomb Iran". At best.
And look completely nuts.

[DaOne]

Diddy Mao! Diddy Mao!

Jangle yur keys!!!

[darthdarcy]

Peace..?

McCain doesn't want Peace he wants Wars, as many as he can start and get us involved in..!

McCain isn't running for president, he's running for Commander in Chief..!

All mothers out there - McSame will reinstate the DRAFT and your loved ones will be send to be KILLED in unneccessary wars. I only have one son and if he does not want to join the military voluntarily, McSame would not force him. Everytime my husband is sent on deployment overseas I just pray that he and all the men and women in the Armed Forces return home to their loved ones ALIVE. Please think about your children or loved ones before you vote.

You know there are fathers out here that are also concerned about that. I am a grandfather who is worried about my grandson being drafted in some future Republican war.
