Senator McCain crossed a line that he shouldn’t have this week when he said that Mr. Obama “would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.” It was a lousy comment, tantamount to calling Mr. Obama a traitor, and Senator McCain should apologize for it.


Maybe it is a lousy comment, but there is certainly an element of truth there.

Obama would have surrendered in the Iraq war; this is indisputable. The only open question is whether it was politically motivated or not, and that is at least partially true. Unfortunately, because Obama has no significant political history, we cannot judge to what extent he is motivated by politics dictated by his handlers versus a real position based on his own judgments about the war.

Perhaps McCain shouldn't have said it, but I think many veterans and most members of the military feel the same way about him.
