TYT applauding Katie Couric for asking John McCain to elaborate on which wars he's won.

I think TYT is overreacting to how much of a flub was made here. The key is involvement level, which wasn't addressed by McCain, and the rest of the hurumpfing is based on speculation of what the meant.

>> ^Crosswords:

McCain said he knew how to win wars, when in fact he only helped to win wars by supporting them in the Senate. Ergo he's full of himself. Like Hilary saying she landed under sniper fire when there was only a slight possibility that there could have been sniper fire. These kinds of half-truths are the best material for brainwashing, unless they're exposed early and from all sides. But of course the republican-controlled "liberal" media won't touch McCain, the so-called "war hero", whose only achievement is having been tortured. Nothing wrong in calling him an "hero" or whatever but don't start bullshitting us about how he can "win wars" like he was George Washington reincarnated. How's he gonna win wars anyway? By enduring bad islamic pop music pumped through his ears 24/7? By dyeing of old age only after Bin Laden did? Let's cut the crap. McCain is an average politician with average plans. Not as bad as Dubya by a long shot, but nothing extraordinary either. He's got some experience, but what good is experience when what you need is for your country to go in an altogether new and radical direction after 8 years of political and military disasters?

@Crosswords: Sorry for the not entirely relevant (to your comment) rant.

Yeah with all the ammo you can use against McCain sucking right now i think this point was rather weak for TYT. There are so many flubs and exaggeration's in what he says already i think this is just digging for something that really isnt there. It could be argued, as the 2nd guy was saying, that he was a senior member that help see to the success of those wars and he takes pride in that. Come on guys, there is so much on him you dont have to stretch this far to get good material.

Now, McCain isn't who I hope gets elected, but to be fair, he said he knew HOW to win wars, NOT THAT HE ACTUALLY WON ANY. I can know how to bake a Black Hole Food cake by reading a book, without ever actually baking.

A better question is "How do you go about winning a war, Sen. McCain?"
If his answer has any form of "surge" in it, then you can criticize.
