WTF...McCain makes Bush look like a diplomatic genius.. confused about Spain, threatening to fire people he can't? Acts like a bully needing someone to pick on.

No no no, McCain was talking about the rough patches and military governments that Pakistan had in the 1950s-1980s when he said Pakistan WAS a failed state.

I dont know if it was a failed state back then, there were some tough times but failed state might be abit much; McCain in the debate was NOT refering to modern Pakistan as a failed state.

I dont know how that got blown out of proportion.

Yeah, it's a complete distortion to say that McCain was referring to modern day Pakistan as a failed state. He wasn't.

What McCain said was "I don't think that Senator Obama understands that there was a failed state in Pakistan when Musharraf came to power. Everybody who was around then, and had been there, and knew about it knew that it was a failed state."

Now, that could still be BS claim. I honestly don't know. Wikipedia has relatively little about the 1999 coup that put Musharraf in power

In other news, Pakistan calls McCain a 'Fail'

Very typical left wing distortion of the facts. As we all know, republicans, especially the NRA, would never do anything this reprehensible.

Yeah like everyone else i have to call Fox News style bullshit on this, they totally distorted what he said and i dont even like McCain.
