Where is John McCain?

In a number of the articles covering McCain's "progress" statements and the rebuttal from Iraqis and unnamed US military officials there is some version of this statement, (NYTimes) "Neither Mr. Pence nor Mr. McCain was available Monday to comment on the Iraqis’ remarks in the article."

McCain's visit and the ugly press conference were now almost three full days ago, and McCain has yet to be available for comment.

The WaPo adds this, "McCain, who left Iraq on Monday but remained in the region."

Three days McCain has been hiding. Three days without a comment.

In the words of so many mothers, "What, they didn't have a phone there?"

(Since Sunday McCain is "revamping his fundraising," but, more importantly, he is delaying his official announcement of candidacy until after an Apr. 11 "major speech on Iraq.")
