It looks like McConnell has rabies foam around his mouth in the photograph. I’m hoping it is just my old computer.&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s not your computer.  McConnell and Larry Craig just went to the restroom at the same time.</description>

		<description>Hey Mitch,
You&#039;re Chicken-Hawk past is fixing to come back and bite you real bad in the coming months!
Do you have any comments &quot;NOW&quot; on the special treatment you received in the summer of &#039;67 after graduating from Law School in May of &#039;67,in evading the Draft?
Mitch, it would have been far easier to have been drafted,served 2 years,than catching all the bad publicity you&#039;re fixing to receive! But you&#039;re in a good place,surrounded by many Chicken-Hawks! You&#039;ll have plenty of back-up and moral support from the rest in the U S CONGRESS, that are just like you!</description>

		<description>Iraq War vet and Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Paul Rieckhoff. 

Rieckhoff when talking about McCain’s Iraq policy, had this to say: 

It’s half-assed, it’s not going to work, he’s being inconsistent in supporting it, and yet still seems to support it for political reasons.

Just ask him what the difference is between Sunni and Shiite, and watch the blank stare and mental scrambling begin.

These statements pretty much sum up McCain and Foreign Policy in Iraq.</description>

		<description>from swimming freestyle:

&quot;And, truth be told, John McCain has offered no plan on how he would end that fighting in Iraq.  He promises to continue the Bush Administration &quot;patience is a virtue&quot; policy: just wait however long it takes for the Iraqis to develop a stable and peaceful nation.  That means a U.S. troop presence in a hostile environment and resulting casualties.  Not at all like Germany and South Korea.

Without a strategy to either remove troops or the threat to those troops, Senator McCain&#039;s policy is prey to the whims of people and circumstances we have absolutely no control over. 

As soon as Senator McCain comes up with a plan to end the casualties, then we can talk about a 100 year presence.  Until then, it&#039;s all academic.&quot;

		<description>From Frank Rich in yesterday&#039;s NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/06/opinion/06rich.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin

...that Mr. McCain is “willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq” (as Mr. Obama said) or “willing to keep this war going for 100 years” (per Mrs. Clinton) are flat-out wrong.
  What Mr. McCain actually said in a New Hampshire town-hall meeting was that he could imagine a 100-year-long American role in Iraq like our long-term presence in South Korea and Japan, where “Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.&quot;

Of course, a peacefull Iraq is a futuristic pipe dream. 

 As Mr. Rich Notes...Iraq’s sects have remained at each other’s throats since their country was carved out of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. Perhaps magical thinking can bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians, too&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;But, as ABC News’s Jake Tapper points out on his blog, “Reid’s description was completely accurate: McCain said it would be fine with him if US troops were in Iraq indefinitely.”&lt;/em&gt;

What&#039;s up wi&#039; Tapper? Was he visited during the night by some Ghost of News Cycle Future?</description>

		<description>Hey, Mitch, why did you block the extension of the Protect AT&amp;T Act?  Do you really want to put the lives of Americans at risk?  Why do you hate Americans, Mitch?</description>
