What a marvelous site.

Leftside Annie Says:

McCain missed every single Afghanistan hearing his committee held….

…Because he was visiting Czechoslovakia.

… snort.

Good one LA. The low information folks like toothless21 won’t get it.

…Because he was visiting Czechoslovakia.

“SO!!!”

Had McCain’s daddy not been an admiral, Johnny probably wouldn’t even have graduated. His ranking was 894th of the a class of 899.

Just what we need, another intellectual bottom-feeder.

PEACE

which overseas U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Think you might mean “oversees” as in oversight, rather than “overseas” as in across the ocean?

We don’t want to appear as ignorant as the Boy King, now do we?

His favorite strategy: War chariots with scythes at center, light cavalry in the left wing, spearmen in the right wing, make the longbowmen fire two salvos aaaaaaaaaaaannnd…. CHAAAAARGE!!!

that version of the events fails to not that McCain was injured as well. Why? To paint McCain in the worst light possible by making it seem, by careful omission, that McCain was unhurt.
If this account is wholly true, why would the authors bother with such a select omission?
The mission doesn’t throw the whole account into disrepute by any means, but it does suggestion that the account should be cross referneced rather than relying on it solely.
Given McCain’s record prior and from what I’ve read about him from other sources including official naval records, it wouldn’t surprise me that the incident was due to McCain’s inherent recklessness. That argument is strong enough without having to resort to selective omission of facts.

finally an accurate comment from truther( except for the “idiot” at the end).
However, truther still can’t be bothered to back-up his own statement and thereby properly inform the mistaken Zimzone.

McCain graduated from Annapolis (the Navy’s “West Point”) as an ensign, and as a pilot from Pensacola.

McCain crashed 5 jets, plus was responsible for the Forrestal fire. Surviving crewmen and those who investigated the Forrestal fire case reported that McCain deliberately ‘wet-started’ his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his A-4. ‘Wet-starts’, done either deliberately (the starter motor switch allowed kerosene to pool in the engine and give a wet start) or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft. In McCain’s case, the ‘wet-start’ ‘cooked off’ and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawk’s fueltank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off it’s 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire. The F-4 pilot was reportedly killed in the conflagration, along with 167 of his fellow Forrestal shipmates (including those who died later from wounds suffered). ‘Wet starting’ was a common practice among young ‘hot-dog’ pilots. McCain was quickly (they were still counting the Forrestal dead) transferred to the USS Oriskany (the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred).

and BTW truther it is about McCain in particular not bothering to participate in hearings about issue in which he claims expertise–not “presidential candidates” simply missing hearings.

Your right. the way mcchimpy explains it he’s the top dog in foreign policy. so wouldn’t his present be missed at these meetings?

What a joke the US has become. these explanations from his staff are ignorant and silly as hell.
