According to these accounts, McCain, whose A4-E Skyhawk was queued up in
a line of jets waiting to take off, “wet started” his engine, a prank
designed to startle a trailing pilot with a flame of exploding kerosene.


Have you seen the video? Look at it and you will see the engine was
pointed over the side, not aimed at the plane that dropped the
missile.
I suppose "swiftboating' is fair play but there is too much video and
official reporting to get much traction here.



You know what? I don't really care if McCain is "victimized" by
swiftboating. His campaign the last few weeks has been absolutely
disgusting. I lost my respect for him when he picked that bimbo as his
running mate. McCain deserves to lose the election big time.
