Al Gore Nominated For Being Noble, and McCain Blasts A General

Rumors are going around about Al Gore, first the Oscar nominated documentary, and now a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize nominee. What’s next, the President ? Rolling Stone Magazine says this about Al Gore, “the ideal candidate for the Democrats may be the man who won the popular vote in 2000 — and who opposed the war in Iraq from the very start.” John McCain blasted General George Casey who led the Iraq war for 2 and half years. McCain said before the Senate Armed Services Committe to the General, “While I don’t in any way question your honor, your patriotism or your service to our country, I do question some of the decisions, the judgments you’ve made over the past two and a half years,” McCain said. “During that time things have gotten markedly and progressively worse.” The General was before the committe to get approval for nomination to be Army chief of staff, replacing Gen. Peter Schoomaker. McCain went on to say, “I question seriously the judgment that was employed in your execution of your responsibilities in Iraq,” he said. “And we have paid a very, very heavy price in American blood and treasure because of what is now agreed to by literally everyone as a failed policy.” here! here!
