John McCain, Osama bin Laden, and the draft

John McCain earlier today, agreeing with a woman who says that to catch bin Laden, we must reenact the draft (via Joe Sudbay):

AUDIENCE MEMBER: If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell.

JOHN MCCAIN: Ma'am let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said.

Sure, it's possible that John McCain couldn't hear the woman, or wasn't aware of what she had said. And if that's true, maybe he wouldn't have agreed with her statement had he known what she said. But if he can't correctly process something as simple as this, isn't that an even bigger problem?
