McCain Pooh-Poohs a Time Frame for WithdrawalPosted on Jun 11, 2008
John McCain dug his heels even further into the proverbial Iraqi soil Wednesday morning when he rearticulated his commitment to the U.S. staying in Iraq, claiming that a time frame for withdrawal is “not too important” and that Barack Obama’s resistance to the war ignores how the U.S. is “succeeding” in the country.

The crucial point which I’ve seen no one on television make is this:
A very large proportion of troops in Iraq are either national guard, reserve troops, or people who have been stop-lossed, or even called back into “emergency” service after retirement from the military. These people have been yanked away from their spouses and kids and jobs and lives. They’re not regular career military. That is a big reason why McCains’ attitude is so appalling.
This is something close to involuntary servitude, banned by the Constitution. If it goes on indefinitely, it’s really out-and-out slavery, despite the fact that they are being paid.

I would like to know more about Mac’s mental state. 5 years in POW camp had to have it’s effects. Is he taking any kind of drugs for depression or ADD?? He seems to forget alot of things, that he just says. That could become a problem if as president he can not remember from one day to the next. People could tell him anything and tell him that he told them so and so - how would he know he didn’t say it??
