McCain "I Know How to Win Wars"
Last week McCain said he knows how to win wars. A week later I'm still trying to figure out what wars McCain has won. Am I missing something?

7. McCain Would Have Been Forced To Withdraw Just As Bush Was ....
had McCain been President. Congress would have cut off funding to maintain the occupation and war in Vietnam.

Which is what they should do now in Iraq.

12. Sure, sure, sure!
But that is all he knows...if he knows that at all. We need a leader that knows more than one song. The only song that McCain knows is Bomb,bomb, bomb.

15. Problem is just because you fought in a war
doesn't mean you know how to win one.

Not to mention the fact that the war he fought in we ultimately lost.

14. He surrendered in Vietnam
I'm not sure if that's the kind of "victory" we're looking for.
