McCain not a man to admit defeat

John McCain is a man shaped by war and is a man who refuses to admit defeat. Not in politics, not in Iraq, not in battlefields. McCain hates the war and knows it costs too well to risk lives needlessly. McCain's presidency had a more aggressive foreign policy than that promised by Obama. He has spent too much of his White House campaign warning that the "transcendent challenge of our time" is "radical Islamic extremism". He vows to bring home troops from Iraq "in victory and honour, not defeat". He also warned in that same speech to the Republican National Convention that "we can't turn a blind eye to aggression and international lawlessness that threatens the peace and stability of the world and the security of American people". McCain refused to accept anything other than victory in Iraq by using the American military power.

I think McCain is wrong by using the American military power to solve everything. He couldn't just use power to solve everything. Maybe McCain could just talk nicely with the people in Iraq instead of just using the American military power to solve it. Using the American military force could cause a bigger conflict.


Questions:

1. What do you think McCain could have said in his campaign instead of just using the military force to solve everything?

2. How did these statements contribute to McCain's loss from Obama in the election?
