Let's continue to ignore him and not quote him.

Yeah, he married Isis his sister. The Egyptians back then all had familial relationships.

McCain was rescued by a helicopter after swimming to the surface.

In his autobiography, McCain recalls another mishap around December 1961 when "I knocked down some power lines while flying too low over southern Spain. My daredevil clowning had cut off electricity to a great many Spanish homes and created a small international incident." He landed his Skyraider back on the USS Intrepid after the incident, which does not appear to have triggered a safety investigation.

You can call this good piloting. I call it lousy piloting. To each his own.
With the tempest known as he who must be ignored having passed I’m unable to resist continuing our fun.

Your right. The navy is wrong.

Seriously dude, you wouldn’t really have grounded Maverick?

Interesting generally ignored fact, eh? Though I suspect it was a control issue/power struggle.

Yep.

But this is Bush's fault, and when Obama acts - finally - it'll be because he's been 'goaded' by the neocons. So how weak is he?

Damn Jesuits, always the smartest dudes in the room.

He seems like the 'real thing'.

But the going to Iraq part - ISIS would love to say they offed a Pope.

Seems like the same MO as the old Al Qaeda In Iraq from 10 years ago.
