About McCain:

Within a month [of 9/11/2001] he made clear his priority. “Very obviously Iraq is the first country,” he declared on CNN. By Jan. 2, [2002] Mr. McCain was on the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Sea, yelling to a crowd of sailors and airmen: “Next up, Baghdad!”

Now, as Mr. McCain prepares to accept the Republican presidential nomination, his response to the attacks of Sept. 11 opens a window onto how he might approach the gravest responsibilities of a potential commander in chief.
