Why aren't people making more of the fact that John McCain was flatly, factually wrong about Pakistan being a "failed state?"

Because everyone has just gotten used to McCain making these types of blunders. He and Palin can say whatever they want. The only people who are going to vote for them are the 30% who still like Bush, as well as the racist Democrats who will never vote for a black man. So McCain's gaffes are absolutely irrelevant.

Sad but true...

Why aren't more people talking about the fact that McCain referred to Bin Laden and his Muhajdeen that ran Russia out of Afghanistan as 'Freedom Fighters'

A failed state is a state whose central government is so weak or ineffective that it has little practical control over much of its territory. The level of control required to avoid being considered a failed state varies considerably amongst authorities.[1] Furthermore, the declaration that a state has "failed" is generally controversial and, when made authoritatively, may carry significant geopolitical consequences.[1]

Sounds a lot like Pakistan in this decade or the previous one to me.
That's where Bin Laden is hiding, right?
