This article was well sourced, clearly written and to me, very informative. However, I have heard for the past year that Senator McCain is supposedly very Knowledgeable about national security. What degrees in expertise does he (like Rudy J) give aside from war service (many, many years ago) to establish this expertise as a truth? Does he advise NSA, CIA FBI as an expert witness. Did he provide expertise to the 911 Commission. If someone says he/she graduated from college, that can be checked. Who granted McCain a degree in mastery of national security? For that matter Obama or Hillary.
