This morning on Meet the Press, as he debated Senator John Kerry, John McCain claimed that an Iraq report released a few weeks ago did not conclude there needed to be political reconciliation before military progress. McCain, along with Bush, think it's the other way around -- that you need military progress first, then political stability.

"Surely this [award] belongs to all the mothers of the world. May they be seen, may their work be valued and raised. Especially to the mothers who stand with an open heart and wait. Wait for their children to come home from danger, from harm's way, and from war. I am proud to be one of those women. If mothers ruled the world, there would be no..."
