McCain showing signs of senility or just stupidity

Either way, it’s scary.
 
(a note I just wrote on facebook)

Following the news lately, I’ve been noticing an increased number of slip-ups McCain is publicly making. I know, having secured the Republican nomination more than a number of months ago, that he has been campaigning at neck-breaking speed for a man in his seventies, but these mistakes and what they entail about his pysche, should not be taken lightly.

(Not necessarily a slip-up, but still concerning) The man who wants to be the leader of the free world can’t use a computer or the internet:

He continually refers to Czechoslovakia and the importance of our foreign policy there even though it hasn’t existed for 15 years:

Told Diane Sawyer that we needed to pay attention to the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border, which doesn’t exist:

Explained that the surge in US troops was the cause of the Anbar Awakening (Sheiks in the Anbar Province independing rising up against Al-Qaeda, 4-6 months later receiging weapons and training from US military):

The scary thing about this one is his mentality behind the mistake. He doesn’t see the Iraqi people has being capable of creating a peacful democracy on their own. Somehow he twists the facts to see military intervention as the only thing that works.

Abdul Sattar Abu Rish was not protected by US troops, helping him to head the Awakening and ultimately leading to its success. He was already dead:

When referring to Sudan (and the horrific conditions there which we continue to ignore), McCain said it was in Somalia:

And probably the most irritating to me personally, McCain doesn’t remember voting in the Senate for health insurance companies to cover Viagra but not birth control:

I know I’m going to catch some flack for this, but whatever. I’ve done my research. And all of these mistakes relate to serious issues, not tabloid ones. And notice how most of them deal with US foreign policy, which is McCain’s biggest claim for why he would be better than Obama as our next President. So there ya go.
 
Oh and I’ll be happy to add to this list as his campaign rolls on.
 
found 7/25 –
McCain claimed that Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11:

Guess Afganistan wasn’t major enough for him. In all likelihood, this was a simple mental mistake for McCain. But it does go toward state of mind. They never saw Afghanistan as a priority.

McCain criticises Obama for making speeches abroad – "I would rather speak at a rally outside the US after I am President of the United States."

Accept for that just last month he was speaking in Canada and in March he spoke in London and held a fundraiser for his campaign there.
