You Have to Feel Sorry for John McCain

Well, not really, but you have to have a bit of pity for the poor fellow. I mean, here he is, sounding off about how well things are going in Iraq. Mosul, for instance ...

Suicide bombers strike in Mosul.

Oops. Well, at least The Surge is working so well, McCain says we're down to pre-Surge troops levels.

McCain caught in obvious lie, infers that 20,000 troops are just a matter of verb tenses.

Oh dear.

Suicide bomber strikes Iraqi police checkpoint.

Um, Johnny ... ?

Hey, look on the bright side, we're spreading democracy and respecting the Iraqi people ...

Marine reassigned for handing out John 3:16 coins.

Iraqis protest proposed Status of Forces Agreement.

Well, shit.

Like I said, you really have to pity Ol' Johnny-Mop. Foreign policy and national security are supposed to be his strongest suits.
