John McCain: America's neighborhoods are like Baghdad

John McCain: "There are problems in America with safe neighborhoods" just like Baghdad. Watch it (and watch how he catches himself, but still can't put the genie back in the bottle).



Funny, I was just reading about the rash of car bombs, suicide bombers, and headless homicides here in the city. Maybe it's time for a "surge" in Manhattan, too. And, this is the man Hillary Clinton thinks has crossed the commander-in-chief threshold. Incredible.

Update [3.10.08]: Yeah, just like an American neighborhood.

BAGHDAD, March 10 (Reuters) - Five U.S. soldiers were killed and three others wounded in a bomb blast in central Baghdad on Monday, the U.S. military said, in the worst single attack on U.S. forces in Baghdad in months.
