So Carter says McCain is milking his POW experience? Peanuts. At least he doesn’t have to milk failed hostage negotiations with Iran. For those too young to remember, America was festooned in yellow ribbons for 444 days while Iran held 52 American diplomats hostage. The same yellow ribbons Americans often tie around trees and lampposts when men like McCain are tortured in enemy prison camps. If I were Carter, I wouldn’t go there.
