McCain is just trying to save face for the bu$h/cheney regime.

Senator McCain ... The US sent you to fight in Vietnam. You suffered terrible things as a result of your service. But, by no stretch of the imagination would have that war as a "successful" effort. Why are you not calling for a re-start of that war ... to complete the mission, and thereby, giving your sacrifice meaning?
