We're seeing signs that W is looking to do something with Iran before he leaves and we all know damn well that will appeal to a certain element and possibly energize the 'war rocks-whatever the cost' crowd that might otherwise stay home.
That is probably the best way he can help McCain. Attack Iran! And destroy their, uh, WMD program.

o.k. nostradamus....how much you wanna bet we don`t attack iran sans an attack on us or israel in the run up to november?.....
I can't move past the thought of John McCain "Wet-Starting" anything...
:com:

McCain crashed 5 jets, plus he was responsible for the horrible USS Forrestal fire In 1967.
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 fuel tank, 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). :scared

S...or the 9 trillion dollar debt that is suffocating the nation, they hide like little school girls, or blame Clinton. Now Smurph is right the article is garbage, but what is in store for Obama will make this look like nothing. :shrug:
Scotty,
Please don't get all caught up in this extraneous stuff. Smurphy is right, it's no different than the Swift Boat crap.
I like how some of these 'sources' put things. He 'failed to avoid' that bad boy, huh?
Just like all of our grunt POW's on the ground 'failed to avoid getting captured.'
He might have sucked as a pilot, who knows, but at least he was over there while W was busy campaigning down in Texas for his daddys buddy while serving out his, ahem, National Guard 'term.'
Hey, genius, when was the last time that both sides of Congress were controlled by Republicans? 9 trillion dollar figure might be blamed on Democrats??
:stfu:
Go do some ****ing research, and try to figure out where he served...
Meanwhile, stop posting here, seriously.

Hey asswipe,
I know what state he 'served' in when he wasn't down in Texas screwing around.
So, the answer is - YES - I am disappointed that we lost in the 2nd round of kickball playoffs. But I'm also happy because now Mondays will be devoted to tennis. I look forward to greater health and fitness as a result.
