Say anthing, do anything to get elected.

Sen. John McCain will pledge this morning that the Iraq war can be won and most American troops can come home by 2013 if he is elected president, a position that closely resembles those of his potential Democratic rivals.

. . .McCain until now has resisted offering a timeline for withdrawal of U.S. troops, saying that to do so would be tantamount to giving terrorists a timeline for defeat.

During the Florida primary, McCain blasted former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for what he said was support of a withdrawal timeline. Democrats, meanwhile, pilloried McCain for saying American troops could remain in Iraq for up to 100 years -- a reference McCain later likened to the presence of U.S. bases in Germany or South Korea.

Just last month, McCain said that "To promise a withdrawal of our forces from Iraq, regardless of the calamitous consequences to the Iraqi people, our most vital interests, and the future of the Middle
East, is the height of irresponsibility. It is a failure of leadership.''

 

WFW.

Laughably-timed.

DOA.

 

Maybe he just wants to be able to play golf.

 

Who will call him on it?

 

It is well established that the man is a fraud.

This should surprise no one.

 

Flippety, floppety

 

Looks like their internal polling, or whatever, told them what everyone already knew: the Iraq War and McCain's unending support for it would be a 20-ton anchor come November.

So what to do? Simple. Completely reverse yourself. Pastor said it best, the man's a FRAUD!.

 

Fixed

 

While I applaud the notion, I'm not sure I trust McCain enough to actually live up to that promise.

 

It seems like you are all suggesting that it would be better to leave the troops there

 

Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying.

 

Yes Boom. That seems to be exactly what we're suggesting. :

In other news, since I hate tomatoes, I must therefore hate farmers.
