Teribus,

There is often a world of difference it the energy and mental capacity between a 66 year old and a 72 year old. People deteriorate with each passing year. Its a sad fact.

McCain will be 76 at the end of the next presidential term 80 for the one after that.

Comparing him to Churchill is apples and oranges.

Sorry to disagree mg. But the way I understand it the USAF spent a million dollars training Bush Junior and he was too chicken to take his medical exam to keep his flight status.

Rumsfeld volunteered to fight, and he fought. Bush used his dad to get him into the Texas ANG to avoid fighting. He could have volunteered to be a Navy Aviator and perhaps shared a cell with McCain. He didn't.

I can call them chicken hawks. They put forth wars as a solution to what ails us but didn't back that up with deeds. I am not a hawk and have never been of the right age when my country was at war.

I am not a chicken dove either. Sometimes I think war is required. But at least I don't lie to make it happen like Chaney did or say it is romantic like Bush did. (As if he would have any idea.)

You can call me a chicken chicken is you want. But I am still going to call them Chicken Hawks. I am still pissed of about how their swift boat campaign and Plamegate smeared a couple of genuine patriots.

After all isn't our right to do that something that Rumsfeld and George H.W. Bush fought for?
