One of the chief concerns of the pragmatists is that Mr. McCain is susceptible to influence from the neoconservatives because he is not as fully formed on foreign policy as his campaign advisers say he is, and that while he speaks authoritatively, he operates too much off the cuff and has not done the deeper homework required of a presidential candidate."

What an ambiguous statement! I'm a "pragmatist"; am I concerned? No! Therefore, this statement could be considered blatantly false. That's one of the most slanted bits of journalism I've ever seen.

Is McCain a pinhead or a patriot? Sounds like a pinhead to me. He should go brush up on history and not learn it from Condi either. Being tied up in the Hanoi Hilton doesn't give you much experience either, although it gives you brownie points.

You're gonna call McCain a pinhead & say he needs to brush up on history?? Give me a break! Pardon me, but your ignorance is showing. McCain's been in government for over 20 years, so it's obvious he would have a pretty good handle on modern foreign policy. Before that he was a Navy Liason in Washington. How about the fact that his grandfather was on the Missouri when Japan surrendered in WWII, or that his dad was Commanding the Pacific Fleet during the Vietnam Conflict? Foreign Policy is in McCain's DNA.
Further, McCain's experiences as a POW and the fact that he has two sons on active duty would give him special insight into the horrors of war & judgement about the use of troops.
I don't think you can bust McCain on a lack of experience. To attempt to do so is sort of a joke actually. Sorry.
