I dare say Hilary is hated for making similar remarks. Are the people who hate her any more forgiving of McCain, just because he is in the frame of mind, now that he has presidential aspirations, to smooth over his interview and speech record from less circumspect, more candid pre-candidate days as a truth-teller?
How many people are going to try to have this one both ways?
McCain bothers me -- and should bother you, I submit -- because now that he is thinking president, he is changing the shading, and sometimes the substance, of his positions. Which is the real McCain... Senator McCain 12 months ago, or presidential candidate McCain this week?

The difference is that conservatives feel like this is THEIR war, so when one of their politicians says something nasty about the troops, "he didn't mean it that way and liberals are twisting it out of proportion." Which, of course, no conservative has ever done.

Are you talking about the "no border security for my own state" McCain? The "let my state bleed to death" McCain? The "no emergency room service within 150 miles of the border" McCain?
You must be talking about someone else.....

I don't see how people disliking this remark makes it any less true, the truth is that these soldiers lives have been wasted by our government to accomplish nothing.

The definition of happiness is "being content cloth with one's self." It doesn't count how some distance up the ladder-of-existence we've climbed, fairly its how we taken care of others as we make the confusing climb to the main stunning.

I really don't like this gotcha game...twisting words for political gain. This reactionary game seems to be something from 2nd grade and I think harmful to the political process. BUT canidates should own their words...and instead of retracting them. They should say: YAH I SAID IT....SO THE F#*% WHAT.

I think we should forget it. And we should forget Biden's comment as well. Too much is made over the small stuff. The politics of personal destruction.

McCain is irrelevant. He's too old to win the presidency, and he's losing ground against Giuliani.

McCain bothers me too. That's why I'm voting for Rudy.
