Knew most of that. Although I am wondering if the hthing about hiding Bin Laden at his house is entirely true.
One serious point I have to call you on, though:
-Captured, imprisoned and supposedly tortured by the Vietnamese and held until 1973[emphasis added]
Supposedly?!?!? That's low, even by moonbat standards. There is no question, there is no doubt on his imprisonment and torture.
Have you met anyone who actually saw him being tortured? All we know is that once they found out that he was an Admirals son, they took him away from the rest of the POWs. Hey, John Kerry never volunteered for the most dangerous job in Vietnam right? So you guys don't like to be swiftboated, is that what I am hearing?
We know McCain sustained injuries from his ejection and his capture but that's all that someone other than McCain has told us.
I mean really, would someone who has been tortured ever against the Intelligence Authorization Bill...unless of course they were pandering to the "kill arabs" crowd.
I am not saying he didn't get tortured, I am just saying that no one other than McCain can verify that and that story goes a long way in making someone, who has political ambitions, a big time story once they returned home.
If you can question Kerry's and Obama's story, I can question McCains.
If you can question Kerry's ... story, I can question McCains.
When it comes to military service, I don't.
That is a scary picture of McBush!
