Where Has McCain Been For 72 Years?

John McCain is just not with it. In his recent session with Pastor Rick Warren he stated that the "Cold War" was won without a shot being fired? Oh yeah? What about the Korean and VietNam wars? I know he missed most of the war being shut in in the Hanoi Hilton but for a time he was actively engaged in firing something in that war. How could he overlook that?
Then there was all that time he spent talking with Generals, Staff, and other experts in Iraq during all those trips to Iraq; yet he didn't know the difference between Iraqi Insurgents and Al-Qaeda! Slip of the tongue? It took Lieberman some time to apprise him of his mistake.
Then there was his statement that General Patraeus was the greatest General in the 21st Century--we are only 8 years into the 21st century so that is maybe an easy one: of course if he meant the 20th century, what about Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, etc. who had some real antagonists to outwit? Could Patraeus be compared to their challenges? What great plans and tactics has Patraeus personally implimented?
Where has McCain been all his life and where is all that military and political wisdom he is supposed to have? He may have been "right" about the surge but on the larger issue of invading Iraq he was and still is wrong. How wrong only time will tell. The U.S. is still not out of the woods.
