12. In fairness, McCain was only concerned about American casualties so this kept it in common terms.

October 23 1983, when their barracks is destroyed by a truck bomb. Where was the security then, why were they left to die in their beds? OF course Reagan was President so we wont go into it

I'm a veteran and I don't respect John McCain period! All this guy has been doing in the Senate is advocate War. He should be fighting his demons out of the U.S. Senate as far as I'm concerned but that is up to the people of Arizona.

He is trying to undermine the President which I don't care for and this guy literally called the President a liar which I take offense to. He is one of the reasons I have became more involved in Politics. He hides behind his past service in Vietnam and uses his status as a so called War hero after surviving a POW camp.

The President should take him on and nominate Ambassador Rice to the Secretary of State. She did nothing wrong! This goes for Senator Graham in South Carolina also. I think we should not only back the President but his appointments also. This is becoming a power struggle on who will set the Policies for this country which includes our Foreign Policy.

John McCain has problems in his own state which he neglects to worry about the people of his own state. Does anybody notice John McCain has not said anything about the election debacle in his own state and the violation of the rights of some of his citizens? Why isn't the media confronting John McCain since he is responsible for Arizona? Why aren't Arizona citizens on John McCain?
