Anyone have the McCain "burka" comment on YouTube?

Anyone get a better copy that is edited better, and with John McCain's comment isolated? With that huge repetitive section I doubt you'll get many full views.
 
can we really make something out of this?

I mean, he refers specifically to al-qaeda, nto just muslims in general. People hate al-qaeda enough that they may not care. Maybe not even the muslims in michingan
 
Well, in one sense McCain is right, oil is about the only commodity we trade from Arab(and Iran) nations, and had we been more energy independant we would had no reason to be trading with them.

This trade also helps repressive, sharia-governed regimes like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran to confirm their power, so we really shouldn't be trading with them. Anyway, the Burka comment was silly.

If you take it in context of Ron Paul's comment, they are talking about the entire Muslim world, which McCain clearly equates all of them with al-qaeda.
 
@NoMoreApathy

Of course we can! Ron Paul was talking about trading with the Arab nations, which McCain automatically assumes to be 100% full of Al Qaeda that only sell burkas.
 
The video needs to have the part with Ron Paul's comments just before McCain responds. Ron Paul is talking about trading with the arab nations in general, and McCain answers as if the whole muslim world is associated with Al Quaida... That is the whole point. Noone wants to trade with Al Quaida.
 
From the transcript:

PAUL: So whether there are peace agreements over there, I mean, for instance, if we would stop all aid to over there, we would stop three times as much aid as Israel gets through the Arab nations.

Why do we arm the Arab nations and they're the enemies of Israel? But we continue to do that. So why don't we trade with everybody and talk with them, and there's a greater incentive to work these problems out.

I think if we'd have been out of there a lot sooner, there may well have been a much different settlement after the Kuwait invasion, because Israel was quite capable of working with moderate Arab nations. They tried to. None of the Arab nations wanted Saddam Hussein in Kuwait and I think they could have taken care of Saddam Hussein back then and saved all the mess that we have now, because I think there are so many unintended consequences and way too much blowback.

(APPLAUSE)

MCCAIN: Could I just make a comment? I'm not interested in trading with Al Qaida. All they want to trade is burkas. I don't want to travel with them. They like one-way tickets.

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

GOLER: Governor Huckabee, can you...

PAUL: May I answer that? May I answer that?

GOLER: Yes, Congressman.

PAUL: I'm talking actually about that, because that's what we have been doing. We used to support Saddam Hussein and we used to be allied with Osama Bin Laden, and what I want to do is stop that.

Who are our friends one day turn out to be our enemies. Right now, we finally got rid of Saddam Hussein. And what are we doing now? We're re-arming the Sunnis, the old henchmen of Saddam Hussein.

And what are they going to do with it? There's all those weapons we're giving the Sunnis in Baghdad. So look out, believe me, that war is not over and right now they're demanding more troops in Afghanistan and we're -- some people, like the Senator, he thinks we should be there for 100 years if necessary.

How can he commit the young people of this world, five more generations, to be in Iraq if it's necessary? I say it's time to come home.

(APPLAUSE)
