Here is a perfect example of empty rhetoric, the very charge Republicans level on Obama:
The Fear ConventionTM continues to rehash McCain's POW narrative, shamelessly promoting militarism, and inundating us with 9/11 images.
McCain claims national security as his strength. McCain can't stop talking about "the transcendent threat of the 21st century". McCain incessantly claims to know how to defeat radical Islam.
Well...
I'd like to hear about that special knowledge you have senator... I'm all ears!
McCain's web site details his national security plan, and listed 8 steps to ensure our security:
*Strong Military
*Fight Islamic terrorism
*Strong Military
*Strong Military
*Strong Military
*Strong Military
*Strong Military
*Strong Military
(I paraphrase, of course)
And under that second point, other than stating the obvious (we are under attack, we need good intelligence, we need to fight the ideology), there was not a single strategy laid out.
I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone here.
Does anybody have a link to any document, or a clip of any video where McCain says anything more than "I know how to defeat them"?
If you do, please share in the comments. If you don't, then please ask this question of all those you know who claim McCain is to be trusted with our national security.
Meanwhile, let's donate, volunteer, register voters, canvass and phone-bank for Obama.

Update: After watching his lame speech, he still has not answered my question! Or any issue-related question, for that matter. It was: POW, fight, my friends, fight, POW.
