If your parents were blown to dust in 911, would John McCain care?

"Learning the lessons of September 11 will require asking hard questions. It will require digging deep into the resources of the full range of Government agencies. It will demand objective judgment into what went wrong, what we did right, and what else we need to do to deter and defeat depraved assaults by our enemies in the future.

No such review has occurred to date."

    Of course John McCain would care. He's human, and even more, a serviceman of our country.

    The question shouldn't be (and really isn't) whether or not he cares, but what he believes is/was the proper "response" to 9/11. I think that's where the candidates differ.

    I'm not sure any candidate (or concerned and aware American for that matter) could have lived through 9/11 without caring about the lost lives, the life-long effects, and terrorism. But, again, the greatest difference is the opinion about the proper retaliation.

    I believe in McCain and he follow through with more things than Obama ever will. The past is over and we must move on with this election and get McCain can he can get this and more things done. He is a very responsible person.

    George Bush didn't mess with enemy assault.

    He got the U.S. ready for battle of terrorists.

    What more can one do? McCain has been

    there/done that, so I don't fear his decisions.

    But then there's Obama who seems to always

    side with the enemy so who knows what the

    h*ll he would do if any US citizen was blown

    to dust.

    It's shameful for S.D. to say McCain has

    Alzheimers. That's just a big fib as he does

    not have Alzheimers nor does his 97 year

    old Mother who is alive and kicking.

    Yes. John McCain led the effort to form the 911 Commission, made it happen, and did what the families of victims of 911 wanted to see happen there.

    John McCain cared enough to do the right thing.

    I am an Obama supporter. However, I do believe that John McCain is a good man. I just do not agree with his policies.

    Yes, McCain would care if your parents died in 9/11. Let us not make McCain out to be an evil man.

    We don't want him as our president but he is not evil.

    rarely a similar assessment. while you're evaluating a available US president to having huge-unfold and been linked with a terrorist - it incredibly is plenty extra appropriate than an ignorant telephone call located via anothers brother (that did not influence everybody's lives). Hmmm..not straight forward to work out that Obama supporters won't be able to see that. could desire to be that wool thats over your eyes.

    Would Obama care? He wants to kill all our babies. So why would Obama care if a few Americas just disappear. Obama is a friend of the people who want to kill you and me!

    McCain wants to safe our Children and protect all Americans .. YES McCain cares if anyone got hurt or Kill. What a dumb Question !

    keep on drinking the kool-aid folks

    Obama loves you and will take care of you for the rest of your lives.

    He is the smartest man in the world and all the ills of the world will be solved the day after he takes office.

    McCain hates you and wants to beat you up

    Grow up people Obama is not what you think he is and will not live up to the hype.

    RICK WARREN: Does evil exist and, if so, should ignore it, negotiate it with it, contain it or defeat it?

    JOHN MCCAIN: Defeat it. A couple of points. One, if I'm president of the United States, my friends, if I have to follow him to the gates of hell, I will get bin Laden and bring him to justice. I will do that. And I know how to do that. I will get that done. (APPLAUSE). No one, no one should be allowed to take thousands of American — innocent American lives.

    Of course, evil must be defeated. My friends, we are facing the transcended challenge of the 21st century — radical Islamic extremism.

    Not long ago in Baghdad, al Qaeda took two young women who were mentally disabled, and put suicide vests on them, sent them into a marketplace and, by remote control, detonated those suicide vests. If that isn't evil, you have to tell me what is. And we're going to defeat this evil. And the central battleground according to David Petraeus and Osama bin Laden is the battle, is Baghdad, Mosul, Basra and Iraq and we are winning and succeeding and our troops will come home with honor and with victory and not in defeat. And that's what's happening.

    And we have — and we face this threat throughout the world. It's not just in Iraq. It's not just in Afghanistan. Our intelligence people tell us al Qaeda continues to try to establish cells here in the United States of America.

    So of course he cares.

    No - just ask the veteran's that gave him a "D" for his support on Veteran's issues.

    Ask the families of the POW/MIA association that tried to get records released and McCain got rude and blocked their efforts to find out happened to their loved ones.

    The only thing McCain cares about is he didn't make Admiral like his Daddy or Grandaddy did, so he wants to be president to show that he succeeded them.
