John McCain's Experience Sets Him Apart In The Presidential Field



John McCain: "The difference between me and Mayor Giuliani and Governor Romney [is that] I fought against the failed Rumsfeld-Casey strategy and advocated for the policy that is succeeding. I'm the one that did that. I'm the only one. And I said it in the summer of 2003, and I said it and I predicted that that strategy would fail because it was a terribly flawed strategy and I advocated the one that is succeeding now. That's based [on my] military experience from service for many years on the Armed Services Committee as well as in the military." (WKXL Concord, 9/4/07)

Here's a screenshot of the page as well:Personally I don't see what the big deal is with calling yourself 'the one that' did something or other, but it looks like they've decided it would be a good idea to remove it from the site.
