Seriously, McCain must be perfect if this crap is the best they can come up with in trying to pick at him. So much for "let's talk about the issues," eh?

I would expect someone who is bragging about his foreign policy experience to stop referring to a country that ceased to exist (on Jan 1st, 1993) in the present tense.

I would expect someone who "knows how to win wars" to know where the two countries that we are currently fighting in are on a map.

I would expect someone who has so much foreign policy experience and "knows how to win wars" to know the difference between Shia and Sunni, without needing his BFF to whisper in his ear to publicly correct him multiple times. Especially since those particular groups are a big part of what the problem is over there.


Maybe I expect too much.
