late again..but..
it seems more and more apparent to me that McCain probably doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to foreign policy, most of the time.
When the Press cites his experience in Vietnam as somehow conferring expertise, I wonder where in hell said *Press* got *its* expertise. Serving in the military doesn't give you expertise in the kind of high-level diplomacy and gamesmanship you need to have to be President, or Sec. of State, for that matter--unless you're a Lord Mountbatten, or Lord Wellington, or Lord Kitchener..and even then, you can still screw up completely because of biases, as history has shown so many times.
I have a bad feeling about McCain. I think he's nearly as ignorant as Bush was/is about foreign policy, and when he does know comes from grotesquely biased sources.
Why is the Press giving him this pass? You'd think it'd be a LOT more fun to take the dude apart because of his ignorance and arrogance. Our Press really has gone over the GOP dark-side in the last 10 years.
