Unbelievable: Seeing White House From a Cell in Hanoi

To endure their long ordeal, John McCain and the other U.S. servicemen held as prisoners of war in North Vietnam in the 1960s developed a number of survival techniques. None was quite as effective as the one former Navy pilot Richard Stratton remembers: "If you kept your mind occupied, you were going to be okay."

Stratton would imagine meticulously assembling a large glider and flying it over the Alps. Another prisoner imagined himself fishing. But McCain had the most audacious dream of all, and he shared his vision one day with a group of fellow POWs. "He was talking about his father to us and then he said: 'I want to be president of the United States. Someday I'm going to be president,' " Stratton recalls. "If the cell wasn't so small, we'd have been rolling around laughing."

He is playing his POW card again. Desperation!

The inside-the-beltway press has been in the tank for the "maverick" :eyes: ever since 2000.

He's gotten way too obvious.

:rofl:

the moon and the sun - big deal.

:evilgrin:

Just what we need, another dimfuck who has daddy issues and only wants to be president to prove something about his relationship with daddy.

...he sounds more and more like a Dubya who wasn't able to dodge the draft (because his original goal was to measure up to his father and grandfather by becoming a four-star admiral).
