Senator Jay Rockefeller, a supporter of Barack Obama, said, “McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit... What happened when they [the missiles] get to the ground? He doesn’t know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues..."

Where has this guy been living?  It seems that he doesn't know Senator McCain's history or history at all for that matter.  For one, there wasn't any laser-guided missiles during the Viet Nam war.  Further, the A-4 didn't make bombing runs at 35,000 ft!  The most disturbing thing, however, about Rockefeller's statement is that he basically said that Senator McCain did not care about the lives of people!  It's as though he did not know that John McCain was a POW for over 5 years!  The scary part is Rockefeller is a sitting Senator!!!

I will give him credit for apologizing today.  However, that doesn't fix the fact that he is out of touch will reality!!!

I had a bit of a chance to watch some of General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker testimony this morning as I was running the treadmill at my local gym.  I caught the very end of Senator McCain's questioning, however, I was able to watch the Senator Kennedy's questioning.  Kennedy only asked a couple questions.  That's because his second question was more of a political speech.  It was a long drawn out speech about how the American public is tired of the way... blah blah blah.... you have heard the typical liberal non-sense.  It was a statement more than a question.  If I was General Petraeus, I would have just sat there and asked him what his question was.  If he expected a response out of General Petraeus, I think he could have told him that he is a military expert and deferred the political questions to the experts like himself and the other politicians in Congress.

I believe that Kennedy and his other liberal cronies just want to hear General Petraeus buy into their argument.  It is difficult for the "Cut n Run" Party to make their points when someone who has been on the ground in Iraq and deals with reality everyday in country says otherwise.  These fat Senators sit on their arses and act like experts, but they are just looking to get approval from their party.  They will endanger this country just to look good among their liberal constituents and party cronies.

So far, I believe Petraeus and Crocker have been open and honest about the situation in Iraq.  Why would the lie?  I am sure they would love to say that our job is done and come home!  However, being professionals in the thick of things, they know the reality.  The Right Wing Squadron fully supports their testimony.
