Excerpt: #----------------------------------- 1) But Jopek told The Associated Press on Sunday that she's satisfied with how Obama discussed it during last week's presidential debate. #----------------------------------
It is not unusual for candidates to political office to comment on stories conveyed to them during a campaign, and Jopek was satisfied with how Obama discussed it during last week's presidential debate. Excerpt: #--------------------------------------- 2. In response to a question about Iraq, McCain said a New Hampshire woman asked him to wear a bracelet honoring her fallen son, and asked him to make sure the Iraq mission succeeded so his death would not be in vain. #--------------------------------------- Senator McCain made the above gesture in support of his position that the Iraq mission must succeeded, so the death of a New Hampshire woman's son would not be in vain, but the mission keeps changing, and based on the original false pretext for the war, all the soldier who have died thus far have died in vain, because the mission and entire war was based on a mistaken premise, and nothing is going to change that. I think that John McCain has deep seated guilt feeling over the outcome of the Vietnam war, and is somehow trying to make amends now by bring some manner of success to the war with Iraq. It has gotten to the point that Senator McCain and the Bush Administration are obsessed over finding some definition of the mission that would allow them to claim success in a war that was based on mistaken intelligence and should never have be fought. Anyway, Senator Obama's responded to McCain's gesture was to show a bracelet he had received from a grieved mother who had lost her son, to reminded the American people of the high price being paid for the unnecessary war. Tracy Jopek was satisfied with how Obama discussed her grief at the loss of her son, and the bracelet she gave Obama suggests she favors bring the war with all its loss of life, limb, property, US treasure, and prestige, to an end, so I don't see what all the fuss is about. It appears to just be more Republican phony outrage over nothing.
