The truth about war is never romantic.

In November 2004, Stefan Zaklin, a photographer then working for the European Pressphoto Agency, was embedded with a United States Army company. Mr. Zaklin photographed this soldier, who was shot and killed in Falluja, in a house used as a base by insurgents. The photograph ran in several European publications, and Mr. Zaklin was immediately banned from working with the unit.

George W. Bush March 14, 08
(Speaking about Afghanistan):
I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks.
This is what John McCain wants to continue:



It's so romantic!

Indeed. What's worse is that McCain's ambition will erase any lessons he learned from his own experience.

How very MacBeth of him.

The man will say anything to anybody to get to the White House. I can't tell if he has any core beliefs except his ambition, he's flipflopped so much on everything.
