St. John Disses Troops?

McCain Says He Regrets Iraq Comment | The Huffington Post: "WASHINGTON — Republican presidential contender John McCain, facing criticism from Democrats, on Thursday said he regretted using the word 'wasted' to describe the more than 3,100 U.S. lives lost in the Iraq war..."

Quick. Cue Right Wing Noise Machine. Charge Outrage Thrusters. Let the McCain strafing begin! Wait. What's that? Nothing. Quiet. Don't tell me it's the Silence of the Blogs!

In all fairness, I'm sure McCain no more intended to diss the troops than John Kerry did with his Bush joke. I suspect he will receive fairer treatment from Left Blogistan than Kerry received from Right Blogistan, though. We'll see.
