Dr. Susan Rice Bashes McCain on Afghanistan Policy
Politics – After years of denying it was a problem, McCain woke up and discovered Afghanistan, but has no credible plan. He wants to surge in Afghanistan without reducing troops in Iraq, which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says is impossible. He wants to balance our budget through troop withdrawals which he opposes. The whole thing is illogical.

Despite giving up golf during war, Bush will attend a McCain golf fundraiser

McCain Refers To Czechoslovakia, A Non-Existent Country
Politics – At his press avail today, John McCain referenced current relations between Russia and, um, a non-existent country. We're nitpicking a bit here.
