WASHINGTON - Without additional troops to ensure victory in Iraq, the U.S. could
find itself more vulnerable to terrorist attacks at home, Sen. John McCain said
Sunday.

Taking the opposite tack, newly empowered Democrats pressed their case for a
phased withdrawal of American forces. They hoped a blue-ribbon advisory panel
would propose a way ahead for Iraq, while making clear the U.S. military mission
shouldn't last indefinitely.

McCain, front-running GOP presidential hopeful for 2008, said the U.S. must send
an overwhelming number of troops to stabilize Iraq or face more attacks - in the
region and possibly on American soil.

"I believe the consequences of failure are catastrophic," said McCain, R-Ariz. "It will
spread to the region. You will see Iran more emboldened. Eventually, you could see
Iran pose a greater threat to the state of israel."

The result of GOP policies that McCain supported have resulted in consequences
in the Middle East that truly are catastrophic. And now it looks like Insane McCain
wants more of the same.

It makes you almost wonder if he actually remembers Vietnam.
