This Just Fries My Shorts!!

It’s bad enough that John McCain hasn’t got a clue about who the enemy is in the Middle East region. He has falsely gone on and on about Iraq and the surge for months now. It’s hard to understand whether he is so befuddled as to not really understand or is simply engaging in the [...]
