exactly that. If you read what I exactly wrote, it was that McCain seems to be losing weight and that could indicate cancer. That's not exactly wishing it on him, just an observation. But, I was exactly calling into question his biography in earlier posts. As that seemed to upset you I thought I would clarify by reasoning a bit. You remember the case of Jessica Lynch don't you? She was the brave soldier who was surrounded by Iraqi thugs in an ambush, but blasted the enemy until they shot and raped her and made her POW. usnews.com She was declared hero and got lots of medals. - Only it's wasn't so. John McCain was the same kind of hero, that is to say Nixon needed heros to claim victory in Vietnam when Nixon actually gave North Vietnam everything they asked for. McCain had no opportunity to do anything heroic. His reputation was made up because Nixon needed the story as much as McCain. That's not bad, but it's not Audie Murphy material. The difference is that Jessica Lynch didn't want to live a life of lies. McCain has wanted a non-stop pity-party ever since he got back - he's banked on it. TP "I'm still confused as to why they chose to lie and try to make me a legend when the real heroics of my fellow soldiers that day were legendary."- Jessica Lynch
