For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success.

I do know know that it would mean a whole hell of a lot more to Mexicans if we strung concertina and planted claymores, Fougass and bouncing bettys on our side.
