I'm tired of "I've got a bigger dick" foreign policy

Senator McCain, your double-dog dare of Senator Obama frankly disgusts me to the highest extent, and, as a final straw, forces me to no longer respect John McCain's military service. No man or woman who has ever seen war, and all its attendant misery, would ever use this type of tactic as a means of showing up another American, let alone a fellow senator and presidential candidate.

Senator John McCain, your attempts to swing your big dick and slap Senator Obama in the face with it, by attempting to show him up, by basically implying Senator Obama is too scared or uninformed to go to Iraq, are cowardly. Senator McCain, you are obviously running to ensconce yourself in the same bubble that the current President lives in.

I've got some news for you, Senator McCain--the two-day dog and pony show that the military will run you through, with Blackhawks flying high, an entire company of infantry soldiers and a platoon of armored vehicles to protect is not what Iraq is really like.

Senator McCain, why don't you take your two lapdogs, Senators Lieberman and Graham, and volunteer to replace three soldiers in Iraq, for even one month, sweating in the 140 degree heat every day under forty pounds of gear on a foot patrol through the restive streets of Baghdad, the stench of open sewers assaulting your nostrils and the angry stares and shouts of Iraqi civilians reaching your deaf ears. Or mabye, go replace a company medic team, as you try to save the life of one of the soldiers whose body has just been ripped open by an IED or shrapnel from a mortar round.

Senator McCain, your misguided belief that you have some sort of one-up on a fellow president candidate because you have bigger balls because you'll walk around far more protected than any average American soldier ever would, and will press the flesh in some KBR-run mess hall in a nice safe FOB in Iraq disgusts me as a soldier.
