To be fair to the title...Does the result always matter?
When does the process matter?

If I do well on a test if I studied that is good.
If I do well on a test if I got lucky filling in bubbles that is bad
The result of both:the same

We are talking the next President of the United States I think that everything matters even the process at which each candidate makes decisions.

Ivdragonlady,

I don't agree...while there is destruction, the benefit of war can out weigh its' costs...to just write off all war because lives are ruined and there is destruction is wrong.
Examples of Wars that were worth the cost:
Revolutionary War of America
Civil War
World War II.

He is still an idiot.

All wars are the same, the destroy lives on both sides.

You do not need to see the destruction to know that it is there.

To be consistent, isn't McCain also saying that you cannot support the war if you haven't actually sat down and talked with Petraeus?

And, if that's the case, isn't he really saying that we should all just shut up -- or visit Iraq and have a beer with the General?
