WASHINGTON (AP) Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service ''dishonest and dishonorable'' and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.

''It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me,'' McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush.

How does McCain know that it's dishonest? Did he serve with Kerry?

I'm curious: has McPain ever called for any Dim condemnation of making an issue of W's National Guard service?

''I wish they hadn't done it,'' McCain said of his former advisers. ''I don't know if they knew all the facts.''

Do you know all the facts, Sen. McCain?

This is why I was worried about that ad. I can guarantee that this will be asked of the President at the next press aailability.

The media will try to portray the men as partisan Republicans operating on orders from the RNC.

A better ad would have been to show all of the men saying that they supported the President because of his outstanding leadership.

Well, we will see what will happen. The ad has already been aired, so nothing can be re-done.

I find it odd McCain apparently believes the only Vietnam Veterans that should be allowed to speak are himself and Kerry.

If McCain has something that shows these vets are lying, let him produce the evidence of such.

If he doesn't, he needs to shut up. He's not running for reelection....but he obviously wishes he was.

Poor Johnny, all dressed up but nowhere to go.....

You know what this book coming out is probably the reason why McCain did not accept JFKerry's offer to run as his VP.

McCain still carrying the sewage for the lying crooked liberals.

McPain just can't control himself or be controlled. The swift boat vet ad is a legal ad under the damn campaign finance law McPain inflicted on America, so he should SHUT UP !

"The ad, scheduled to air in a few markets in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, was produced by Stevens, Reed, Curcio and Potham, the same team that produced McCain's ads in 2000. ''I wish they hadn't done it,'' McCain said of his former advisers. ''I don't know if they knew all the facts.''

Shame on John McCain!! Before McCain opened his mouth, he should have checked with Stevens, Reed, Curcio and Potham to find out "if they knew the facts".
