			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DENVER&#8211;Tammy Duckworth &#8212; Iraq war veteran, Illinois Veterans Affairs director, amputee and netroots favorite &#8212; is smacking John McCain silly. She&#8217;s talking about supporting troops with more than rhetoric. Wants us to win in Afghanistan. &#8220;Instead of destroying the enemies who attacked us on 9/11, we diverted our military might to Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11.&#8221; Barack Obama &#8220;knows that wherever you stand on the war, you must love the warrior, and he does.&#8221;<span id="more-3229"></span></p>
<p>And here comes something Mike Lillis has reported on that, to my surprise, has disappeared as an attack on McCain. <!--more-->&#8220;Unlike John McCain, Barack Obama fought for a new GI Bill, and won&#8230; So I know what he&#8217;ll do as president,&#8221; says Duckworth. No privatizing the VA, which McCain wants. &#8220;Because when we enlisted, no one asked us where we live and how much money we have,&#8221; she says, &#8220;and no one should ask that after we&#8217;ve bled&#8230;for our country.&#8221; And even a reference to Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Beau, who&#8217;s about to deploy to Iraq.</p>
