Wasted

Just weeks after Barack Obama stepped in it for saying the lives of American soldiers have been "wasted" in Iraq, John McCain used the same word while announcing his candidacy to, of all people, David Letterman. McCain has yet to apologize, though Democrats, who always "suuport the troops," are demanding that he do so immediately. Yes, McCain, a former POW and a staunch supporter of the Iraq mission, should indeed apologize for this gaffe. But I do think he has a touch more credibility on the issue than does Obama.
