Who does McCain think he is, the president? Presidential candidates don't send SWAT teams into foreign countries during crises (though we did get a kick out of McCain sending Lindsey Graham - what, Charlie Crist wasn't available?). It's creepy. And highly inappropriate. Rather deluded. And perhaps even somewhat deranged. I've mentioned before that McCain clearly thinks a lot of himself - referring to himself as an "American hero" on his own Web site (whether or not he is, you don't refer to yourself as a "hero"), thinking that he has earned the right to decide who is and who isn't a good American. And now, McCain is sending advisers to interfere in a foreign war. Imagine had Barack Obama done this. Oh imagine the outcry. The accusations of hubris and inexperience, the questions about poor judgment. In McCain's case it's not totally clear if this is McCain thinking too highly of himself, or McCain no longer thinking at all. And it's not clear which is more dangerous in a commander in chief.
