9/11 Presidential Forum

Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 5:05:21 pm

Now airing on most cable channels, John McCain and Barack Obama at the 9/11 Presidential Forum. Here’s a thread to dissect the proceedings.

C-SPAN has a live web stream, in WMV or Real Player format.

CNN has a better Flash-based stream.

UPDATE at 9/11/08 6:05:58 pm:

Interesting; Obama’s faulting Bush for not pushing national service after 9/11, and instead telling Americans to “shop.” But unless I’m mistaken, one of the most polarizing, dangerous, and destabilizing issues during the Vietnam War was the draft.

Also known as: national service.

Has the draft become a leftist cause?
