Ah, c'mon. McCain had enough guts to go in and the liberal spin media didn't.

Carter was one of the finest men ever to hold the office. And he wasn't a fake Christian like Bush.

It's about time Americans were asked to sacrifice more than putting a yellow ribbon on their 4mpg Hummer.BTW,Jimmy Carter,poor president that he was at least didn't lie every other breath and get us into an endless war with said lies.

Not going to lie bush is down there but Jimmy Carter is BY FAR the worst president we've ever had and if Obama is elected we are going to see a similar period where the upper and middle class Americans will get the shaft.

Maybe McCain can do his next stroll through an "Iraqi marketplace" from a sound stage; instead of wasting several hundred soliders' time and our taxpayer dollars for a publicity stunt.

He and many other members of the govvernment have all been there. It is quite a stretch to say a bombing could have been prevented had he not been there. He is also one of very few beaurocrats that have gone into forward units, my buddies have had the honor of escorting him before.And to call a former POW a political hack is low at best. especially considering the two on the left.Is your daughter doing well?

whitakerj,while John McCain was having his photo-op under the protection of a company of soldiers,a suicide bomber killed 45 people including 3 soldiers in a province about 5 minutes from him.Now as an old 1st Cav man I think that those troops could have been used preventing the needless deaths instead of escorting this old tired political hack.Just a thought.

whitakerj (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

I am sorry about your daughter and hope she is doing well. Now I understand why you wouldn't believe soldiers on the ground.

blair227 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

Hey liar,the corporate media have given Bush a free ride until the last 6 months when the people started demanding answers.You won't believe this either,but my daughter was injured in Iraq 3 years ago in Iraq.Everything Bush and his minions have done has been a disaster.He's the worst president not only of my lifetime but of all time.Go watch Faux if you don't like CNN.Good Luck hearing anything good or bad about Iraq there,they don't believe Iraq exists.

whitakerj (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

That is exactly my point you do not communicate like a 57 year old GI. I am neither brainwashed nor stupid. If you would talk about the facts, I have a number of friends in Baghdad currently and, without exception, they are talking about how well the city is doing, but CNN has to make everything related to the current administration sound bad. Meanwhile, they hate to admit that their golden child has been a member of a racist church for 20 years. It is astonishing how one sided they are.
