I agree that John McCain, along with all the other POW's--some who survived and many who didn't, deserve our undying gratitude and admiration for their sacrifice. No matter how much is written about the unspeakable torture they experienced I know that words could never even begin to describe what they experienced. It's beyond our comprehension.
However, either senility is setting in or he could have brain damage from his torture. Has there been any discussion on the answer he gave at the Iraq press conference yesterday morning when he was asked when our troops would be leaving Iraq? I watched it.
He said we still have troops in Kosovo--I didn't know any politician still realized that--they were coming home that first Christmas, according to Clinton, weren't they?
He said we also still have troops in Korea, Japan, maybe he said Germany, but they are not engaged any combat. And as long as our troops are not engaged in combat in Iraq they will stay there. But as soon as they are attacked, are in combat--we will leave!!!! Hello all terrorists--did you hear that? This man is not well! He is an idiot.
I was speaking ironically about the torture affecting his brain. I think we need to realize that the fact that a man has served his country and even suffered for it does not necessarily preclude him from possessing evil tendencies. I wish it were otherwise, but I'm a realist.
