Because what is happening in Iraq today proves the bu$h/cheney invasions were wrong. When we are out of Afghanistan, history will prove the same there.

McCain is just trying to save face for the bu$h/cheney regime.

Senator McCain ... The US sent you to fight in Vietnam. You suffered terrible things as a result of your service. But, by no stretch of the imagination would have that war as a "successful" effort. Why are you not calling for a re-start of that war ... to complete the mission, and thereby, giving your sacrifice meaning?

Are you telling me they didn't know this all the time? If the war was so valuable why didn't their families participate at all?
