First it was "maverick".  John McCain could not be mentioned without reference to his "maverick" status in the Republican Party.

Then it was "war hero".  No one could utter the name John McCain with out the addendum, "war hero".

Now it's his "strong foreign policy experience".  If one listens to any commentator one is forced to conclude that the major "problem" the Democrats face in this election cycle is John McCain's "strong foreign policy experience".

I got to wondering just what they were talking about and started digging around to find out exactly what foreign policy experience McCain does, in fact, have.
