McCain's Iraq
Seven US soldiers killed today. Six in IED's and one non-combat.
(AFP) "The monthly death toll in Iraq rose 15 percent in March."
McCain says the media isn't giving "the surge" enough credit.
Perhaps the most ridiculous thing about this whole McCain stance of a better Iraq is that for two years, you couldn't get McCain to talk about Iraq without him nonsensically saying "whack a mole" over and over. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...aw hell, google it yourself.)
But, now that he's staked his presidential ambitions on the current policy, he seems to have abandoned that talking point, even though the policy he is blindly endorsing is creating that exact same problem.
Can "whack a mole" be stated any more clearly?

While the capital has seen a recent dip in violence as extra U.S. and Iraqi troops have flooded the streets, an Iraqi military spokesman said that militants fleeing the crackdown have made areas outside the capital "breeding grounds for violence," spreading deadly bombings and sectarian attacks to areas once relatively untouched.

McCain, Graham, and the rest of the bobble-headed division of denial are the reason why we have the saying, "He pissed his pants and told me it was raining."
McCain is an embarrassment to his own legacy; a sad parody to the man I admired in 2000. Was he full of shit then, too? Was the "Straight Talk Express" just a cynical ploy for the hearts and minds of independent voters? We McCain always just a shallow, political weasel? I kind of feel used.

No, wait... I think its: "He pissed on my foot and told me it was raining."
Something like that.

I followed McCain closely in 2000. I was a fan, and I don't think he was lying (as much as you can say that about a presidential candidate.)
And, because of that, I have a vicious streak towards the McCain of today.
