If daily news, like reports of the 10 French soldiers killed by a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan and the U.S. governments imminent nationalization of much of the American mortgage-lending industry, would seem to deny such a rosy scenario, then that only shows skeptics lack the courage that sustained McCain as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. There you have it encapsulated, the McCain campaign for president, an irrational mélange of patriotic swagger and blindness to reality that is proving disturbingly successful with uninformed voters Vote for McCain and forget about funding to solve the Social Security, Medicare and subprime mortgage disasters or for anything else that truly would make America stronger. Tags: mccain McCain turns Bush on Iraq war surgeclipped by: missjacksonclippers remarks: Here is a man of conviction and depth who has proven over decades of service that he puts honor duty and country ahead of his own ambitions and safety. Sen. John McCain, who watched from a prison camp as America failed to deploy the overwhelming force necessary to win the Vietnam War, seized the moment after Republicans lost Congress in 2006 to push President Bush not to make the same mistake.  Mr. McCain sent a private letter to Mr. Bush on Dec. 12, 2006, that challenged the president to show the "will" to win the Iraq war by deploying 20,000 troops into Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle to beat back a growing insurgency. The letter was the climax of a 3 1/2-year effort to persuade the president to send more troops to Iraq. The former Navy pilot, who had his arms repeatedly broken during nearly six years of captivity, couched his argument in the terms born of the Vietnam War. Mr. Bush, who had resisted Mr. McCains call for a troop surge for years, now praises him for persisting in his argument that expanding the war in Iraq was the way to win it. And now that the surge has worked, it proves that Johns judgment was correct. Another fellow POW remembers McCains cross storyclipped by: n2soonersYesterday, I talked to Bud Day, a Medal of Honor recipient who was in a POW cell with John McCain in Vietnam. At the end of our conversation, I asked him about the cross-in-the-dirt controversy. He said he hadnt heard of any controversy. So I asked: When was the first time you heard McCain tell this story? His response: "I heard that story in 1970, 1971?back in that time frame. Anybody who says its not true is full of..." Here he used some salty language.
