Why does McCain never remember Afghanistan?

Again, while listening to the presidential debate, McCain keeps talking about what will happen if we pull troops out of Iraq but never notices that is exactly what he did when he wanted them pulled out of Afghanistan and sent into Iraq. Why does he keep missing this? Al-Qaeda was not in Iraq but they were in Afghanistan and now they are more numerous and powerful than they were in 2002!

Again, McCain brought up his "support" for veterans but he has a proven record of failing veterans. Why didn't Obama bring that up since he is on the veteran's committee? Is he too nice to state the truth on this? McCain's record on veterans is almost as bad as his record on POW/MIA's accounting. If you look up his record, compare it to what he claims, then you see that he can lie with absolutely no problem at all just as he did when he talked about Palin's record.
