The republiCONs have had nearly 7 years since 9/11. Saddam wasn''t behind the attacks, Osama bin Laden was. Didn''t W say something about getting him, Dead or Alive? Where is bin Laden (been forgotten)?
I guess I am still trying to figure out which Wars McCain thinks he has won. He didn''t win Vietnam - He hasn''t won Iraq - so what wars has he Won?? Talk is cheap - where is the proof.
Senator John McCain learned what he should do with his future from his experiences in Vietnam. He learned about honor and courage! He learned that there are greater pursuits than self-seeking. Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. It is not a prize for being the most clever, the strongest, or the boldest. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely, and who rely on you in return.
I can only surmise that McCain is referring to his West Point training, since the only war he''s been in was a losing proposition for this country, and he spent most of that as a prisoner of war. And his ranking in that educational institution was somewhere near the bottom, i.e. fourth or so from last place in almost 600 students. As for as I am concerned there are currently only two people qualified to make the statement "I know how to win a war" and John McCain isn''t Colin Powell or H. Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.
OBAMA WILL WORK FOR PEACE....MCCAIN WILL STICK WITH WAR....MY CHOICE IS TO PUT OBAMA TO WORK FOR AMERICA IN THE WHITE HOUSE; AND ADVISE MCCAIN TO GO TO THE MANOR HOUSE AND PLAY WITH TOY SOLDIERS.
heard this comment last night and couldn''''t help but think, "what war is it that he has won?" i have nothing but respect for sen. mccain, and his experience as a pow in vietnam is something i wouldn''''t wish on anyone, but let''''s get real here. we lost in vietnam. we lost big, both in terms of lives and our stated objectives. if that''''s his referent in saying that he knows how to win wars, heaven help us.

My feelings as well. He was in a prison camp. What war has he won? Being in a war camp is horrorable and I would not deminish his service. However, that does not make him an expert on war and how to win it.

As far as winning wars goes I guess he must be referring to one of those back yard wars he and his 9 year old playmates had!
The only thing that McCain may know how to do when it come to battle, is survive as a prisoner of war in Asia. That is about the limit.
