This makes me sick. Why can't our idiot gov't officials just get out of the middle east? Iraq and Afghanistan are no better for us being there for
more than a decade - just a whole lot of dead and maimed service people for us.
Especially, on Memorial Day - let's take care of our own!
McCain only cares about his obligations to the state of Israel,and he likes the attention he gets from the media...He is more of a showman than a
politician, but then again,aren't all politicians.
