“Where has McCain gone wrong on the war on terror ?”

Let me count the ways. He is against waterboarding. He wants to close Gitmo and bring the troops to Ft. Leavenworth. As soon as those terrorists are brought to US soil, they are arguably subject to Constitutional protections meaning they and their attorneys would have to be given access to classified information that is being used in their prosecution. That information could then be passed on to alQaeda.

McCain has, along with Carl Levin, fought the President on military tribunals to ease the rules and make them more in line with international law. He wants to join the International Criminal Court, which would subject our troops and intelligence officers to prosecution for war crimes.

He said he wanted to stay in Iraq 100 years, and then in the next breath said that that was only if American troops were not injured or hurt. Why have forward-based troops that you don’t plan to use?

He is for open borders, which is our last line of defense against terrorism.

He is mentally unstable and possibly senile, and doesn’t need to be anywhere near the nuclear button.
