3. Was he winning the war as a POW?
Why does no one question him on this? He knows where bin Laden is, he knows how to win a war, he knows how to fix the economy, but he's not tellin' unless we elect him. And no one calls him out?

6. Doesn't it show more that he doesn't know how to win wars?
As a prisoner of war, he wasn't involved in the war itself for that period, so I don't know how he feels it makes him a military genius.

10. More faith-based policies with no specifics
Edited on Tue Oct-28-08 04:12 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
"Trust me, I'm John McCain."

It sounds like the "trust me, I'm Richard Nixon" secret plan for ending the Vietnam war all over again.

12. McPOW knows how to get into the Academy as a "lagacy", how to crash planes
in training, how to use his "pull" to get coveted combat assignments nonethelss, how to disobey orders and fly over SAM batteries, how to succumb to torture, how to help his captors keep a lid on fellow prisoners, and how to cover up all his misdeeds for the next 35 years.
