How many times can McCain's POW experience be praised before a
well-behaved, not-very-excited crowd of well-dressed, older and
predominantly white Americans who sit in neat rows beneath an electronic
billboard bearing the phrase "Country First" and who hold on their laps
placards that proclaim, "Service"? And how many Teddy Roosevelt references?
Have you heard? John McCain was a prisoner of war.
snerk
somebody said that mccain's whole campaign strategy is 'noun, verb,
POW'.
Here's a question I've not seen asked or answered...McCain went on 20+
bombing missions over North Vietnam. How many non-combatants did the
bombs his plane dropped kill or maim? How many villages did his bombs
destroy? What sort of toll did his actions take on civilians?
I wonder if he ever thinks about that?
BTW, did you know John McCain was a POW?- Hide quoted text -

Red State Update:
http://www.break.com/usercontent/200...ch-565846.html

Maybe a better question would be...who did he take orders from? A
Democratic President sent advisors in, 1959...Eisenhower...Kennedy continued
the debacle.....Johnson escaladed it...and a so called war mongering
Republican President had the balls to end it all...so in retrospect, lets
blame the DEMS!!!!

Out of line, Harry. He did what his country asked of him.


Ahhh. The Nuremberg defense.

It was a bipartisan mess. Nixon ran as the "peace" candidate twice. It
took him five years to get us out of Vietnam, and 1/3 of our KIAs were on
his watch.

It was the worst diplomatic and military disaster in the history of the
United States, from beginning to end, and any who willingly took part in
it should be ashamed of themselves until their dying day. There's
certainly enough blame to go around at the highest political and
military levels of both political parties.

It was a war waged with nothing more on our side but ego and arrogance.
What were we doing there? We were backing up one penny ante right-wing
dictator after another.

No argument from me, but hey, we're getting cheap sneakers now. ;-)

You know, I was going to mention that...really...and you know what, they
aren't so cheap.

But don't worry...John McCain and Sarah Palin will be delighted to start
another war somewhere...anywhere... :)

Did you stay up late enough to watch Ms. Palin last night? Hehehe. No
substance, but lots of snarling. And did you know...John McCain was a
P.O.W. I hadn't heard that before.
