Minimizing McCain's Experience
By Jack KellyAs Jim Geraghty of National Review Online noted, there are 'way too many' of these attacks on Sen. McCain's war record to be a coincidence. But if it's a deliberate strategy by the Obama camp, it's an odd one, because there is no way a comparison between Sen. McCain's record on national security and his makes Sen. Obama look good. What's important about Sen. McCain's experience as a POW is not what it taught him about conducting foreign policy, but what it teaches us about his character, wrote 'Uncle Jimbo,' a former Special Forces soldier, on the milblog 'Blackfive.' 'John McCain was so loyal to the men he was imprisoned with he endured torture on their behalf,' Uncle Jimbo said. 'Barack Obama associates with those who can help his career, and throws them right under the bus when they become inconvenient to his aspirations.' 'In minimizing the import of McCain''s military service, Clark instead opened the door to the sort of criticism that Obama, who painstakingly praises McCain's military record at virtually every event, cannot afford,' wrote Jay Newton-Small of Time Magazine.
