Grow A Set Already

First it was Obama, who felt he had to apologize for saying American troop lives were wasted in Iraq. Now it's McCain. Last night on Letterman he said:

"Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be. We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives."

Yet today, he found it necessary to release this statement:

"Last evening, I referred to American casualties in Iraq as wasted. I should have used the word sacrificed, as I have in the past. No one appreciates and honors more than I do the selfless patriotism of American servicemen and women in the Iraq War. We owe them a debt we can never fully repay."

Hey! Politicians! Get a clue and grow a set of balls already! Have the nerve to tell the truth. Bush has done exactly that with his fabricated, illegal war - he's wasted the lives of over 3000 American troops and 100000 Iraqis needlessly. McCain doesn't realize that pointless sacrifice = wasted.

On a related note....Obama's quote about wasted lives creates a firestorm as the "liberal media" breathlessly reports it in every nook and cranny of the country and the right wing noise machine goes into blustery overdrive. McCain says the same thing and it's barely mentioned by any of the major media. Where the hell is the outrage from Beck, Hannity, Malkin, Limbo, and the other asshats?
