Jim Webb Dispels Any Doubt That Attacks On McCain Aren’t Coordinated

Virginia’s own Sen. Thinskin “Beavis” Gump (D-WashPo) has joined in the coordinated attack by Democrat-ick surrogates of Barry Obama on John McCain’s military service.  You have to love how all these guys preface their remarks by talking about their respect for McCain’s service before completely discounting it as a qualification to be president, just so they can try and lower him down to Obama’s level of pathetic “experience” (exactly what the heck IS a “community organizer” anyway?)

First, Obama trots out retired Gen. Wes Clark, who was fired from his post as Supreme NATO Commander three months before his term was to end by Bill Clinton because he nearly started World War III with the Russians in Kosovo.  Now, we’re seeing Obama send out Jim Webb, the man who wanted to pull U.S. troops from Europe in the mid-80s before the fall of communism and send them to deal with the threat from China that he perceived; who opposed the liberation of Kuwait in 1990 and called for the reinstatement of the draft at that time; who opposed the troop surge in Iraq; who opposed the intergration of women into the military.  Heck, history has proven that Webb has come down on the wrong-side of every major foreign policy and military decision of the past 30 years.

The greatest irony has to be this statement coming out of Webb’s pie hole:

“I think what we really need to work on over the next four, five months, and it goes back to the speech that Sen. Obama gave [Monday] and this little fight that I’ve been watching and that is, we need to make sure that we take politics out of service,” Webb said.

That coming from a guy who made it a point to show everyone that he was wearing his son’s combat boots throughout his 2006 campaign.  Do you think we’re so stupid as to forget that or are you just that dumb, Senator?

UPDATE:  D.J. McGuire digs up evidence that, yes, indeed, Sen. Jim Webb apparently has the memory span of a goldfish.
