Veterans Respond to McCain's "Obama Wants to Lose" Remark by: Brandon FriedmanTue Jul 22, 2008 at 17:21:12 PM EDT While Barack Obama spends the week in Afghanistan and Iraq, speaking to throngs of cheering troops and diplomats, John McCain is accusing the likely Democratic nominee of wanting to "lose" the war in Iraq. Here's what he said today: MCCAIN: It seems to me that Senator Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign. It looks to me like desperation brought on by Maliki's endorsement of Obama's plan is starting to settle in--especially considering that most Americans and very few Iraqis even look at Iraq in terms of winning and losing anymore. But the question, then, becomes this: If McCain thinks Obama wants to lose in Iraq, and thousands of troops support Obama's policies, does this mean that McCain thinks those troops want to lose in Iraq?
