MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, reading a Think Progress post nearly word for word last night, reminded me that it’s time to update the list of John McCain’s flip-flops. From last night’s Countdown:

The winner is Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, told us today that he knew that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough,” and that he was “sorry” for anybody who voted it thinking it would be “some kind of an easy task.”

Sen. McCain on CNN on Sept. 24, 2002: “I believe that the success will be fairly easy.”

Sen. McCain on CNN on Sept. 29, 2002: “We’re not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies.”

Sen. McCain on this network on Jan. 22, 2003: “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.”

What’s that’s called again? Flip-flopping? Senator, we keep all the tapes of these interviews. C’mon!

1. Surprised? McCain is nothing more than an opportunistic pig.

4. Tell me about it ...

"I was against torture until I was for it ... because if I disagree with the religious reich, I might lose $$$ ..."

2. I think Baghdad Bob is writing all their speeches now!

3. It's possible that McCain is telling the truth now about having known...

...this would be a tough war, and that he said “I believe that the success will be fairly easy," in 2002 in order to trick America into the war.
