Chula Vista, CALIFORNIA (CNN) - While the Democratic presidential candidates are duking it out on the campaign trail, Sen. John McCain is trying to fill up his campaign coffers. But some supporters fear he's not making the most of his time.
Just back from his eighth trip to Iraq, McCain returned to the campaign trail Monday in Chula Vista,California, with last week's words from Osama bin Laden in hand.
"He urged Palestinians and people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to - quote - 'help and support the mujahadeen brothers in Iraq, which is greatest opportunity and the biggest task,' " McCain said.
It's proof, he argued, that Democrats are dead wrong about the war in Iraq.

How did Senator McCain arrive to his conclusion that what this country needs is another "War President"?! We don't, we really, really don't!
It is an economy,,, um...Senator!
MC MOUSE PRESIDENT
ALL Employer Benefits-Gone
Medicare-Gone
S.S.- Gone
Unemployment -Gone
Tax Cuts for Rich-2 Billion more than now.
Health Care-Employer don't pay. You Pay. With your measly raise.
OBAMA ONLY FOR PRES. 2008
Not making the most of his time... I doubt he even knows what time it is without someone whispering it in his ear.
Kathleen an Obama/Edwards ticket is like a Kerry/Edwards ticket. Do I need to say more.
If you prefer Obama/Richardson think again because Obama is a Jimmy Carter type!
McCain/Romney ticket will balance it out and help America get back on track!
"BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED"
Mcwar needs to reimburse us for trip.
The only thing golden about McCain is that he is just celebrating his GOLDEN YEARS!!
McCain has earned the right to be called President of the United States
John McCain's speech today on foreign policy will be an eye-opener for Democrats and Republicans.
In 2006, the oldest democratically ellected Leader ( Sir John Compton) was sworn in at 81 yrs old in St.lucia, he died less than a year later. This is a very stressful job.
Maybe Hillary can be McCain's veep.
John, John, John!!!!!
How can you utter such load of nonsense??????
Golden opportunity for his golden years.
this old, tired geezer is a fool, i cant even believe he's the republican nominee.
he's as "presidential" as the idiot buffoon whose cheek he kisses!!!
why on earth would anybody vote for more of the same?
Mc Cain, please retire. Obama/08
