McCain mocks Obama's inaugral address draft

Washington Post:

Sen. John McCain this afternoon seized on a newspaper report that Sen. Barack Obama's staff has already written a draft of an inaugural address for the Democrat, mocking the presumptuousness.

"When I pull this thing off, I have a request for my opponent: I want him to save that manuscript of his inaugural address and donate it to the Smithsonian, and they can put it right next to the Chicago paper that says, 'Dewey defeats Truman,' " McCain said in this Las Cruces, N.M., suburb.

The barb was reminiscent of the summer, when McCain's campaign regularly mocked Obama for presuming that he was already elected president. On Saturday, the Republican also joked that Obama would have his State of the Union address ready before the election.

McCain led the crowd to believe that Obama started writing his speech in recent days, as he has pulled well ahead in the race. But the New York Times report said that Obama aide John Podesta had written a sample speech as part of a book he published this summer, not because of any recent success.

...

I am surprised the media is trying to cover for Obama on this since they are trying so hard to insure his victory.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
