The past?! My friends, isn't McCain's entire campaign/rationale for presidency based on the past?

In his back-and-forth with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., over Iraq, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Thursday morning sought to portray the Democratic front-runner as representing the Iraq politics of the past by focusing on the decision to invade in 2003 rather than what to do now.

"That's history, that's the past," McCain told attendees at a town hall meeting at Rice University. "That's talking about what happened before. What we should be talking about is what we're going to do now. And what we're going to do now is continue this strategy which is succeeding in Iraq and we are carrying out the goals of the surge, the Iraqi military are taking over more and more of the responsibilities."

I know it wouldn't be appropriate or smart, but I wish Obama could respond by reminding everyone that McCain's entire career in the Senate has been based on his past as a pilot and POW in Vietnam. If McCain wants to live in the present, that's fine. But he better not air an ad that features anything prior to 10 years ago!
