Once the war really went to shit McCain could go aorund saying "If they just put in more troops like I said, we would have won." <br /><br />Now Bush will put in more troops, the war will continue to be a disaster and McCain's plan will look like shit, just like Bush.<br /><br />I say good. Despite the media and some Democrats going ga-ga over McCain, I think his moderate positions are just an act and he's just as full of shit as the rest of the Republicans.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-64513422799310616332006-12-20T17:08:00.000-05:002006-12-20T17:08:00.000-05:00McCain — from Straight Talk Express to straight th...McCain — from Straight Talk Express to straight thinking repress.<br /><br />Bush wants more troops because, belatedly, he doesn't want his legacy to be that he broke the military. Also, it's a big-headline move that buys more time for a war he thinks is winnable if we just don't quit.<br /><br />I'm not sure what McCain thinks, except that he wants the support of right-wing hawks.<br /><br />Building up the Army with 70,000 more troops won't happen overnight. Two or three years is more like it. Meanwhile, Iraq is at a point where no amount of U.S. troops could win it. All they can do is delay the inevitable, which is going to be ugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-31884581309928077082006-12-20T11:51:00.000-05:002006-12-20T11:51:00.000-05:00Or Rocky IV: If I can change, maybe we all can ch...Or Rocky IV: <i>If I can change, maybe we all can change.</i><br /><br />(Or something like that.)<br /><br />Of course, he's changing in the wrong direction.

Is this some sort of move, on McCain's part, to undo one of the blackest spots on our own foreign policy and military action past? It's just that this renewed vigor and vehemence we get from McCain seems to smack of something <i>other</i> than being President.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.com
