I remember the story. I just sense a good bit of anti-America sentiment coming from his end in many posts, and was pointing out that his attack on McCain was a little brash.

McCain understands the need to eventually draw down forces in Iraq, and I think many people take his "100 years in Iraq..." statement a little too seriously... that's about all the only mud they have to sling. The Dems are a much more interesting talking point, hands down, with all their misspeaking and wacky public charades, and much better candidates for the 'Most Likely To Ruin America' award... yet, these clowns have very little to say about them. McCain isn't ideal, but at least he understands the lessons that only suffering through a war can teach you, and would be much more likely to resolve the whole crisis without resorting to an all-out retreat from the very beginning of his tenure. The last thing we need is to be viewed as cowards by the radical groups still out there who are just looking for reasons to become emboldened.

There are ways to resolve the conflict in Iraq, but it's going to take time. Cutting & running isn't the answer, and it's all the Dems have to position themselves on.
