3. Does McCain really believe this is going to work |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 10:51 AM by lancdem
or is he just doing this to suck up to the wingnuts who still support the war, hoping to get their primary votes?

5. No, he doesn't. He's calling for MORE, MORE, MORE! |
|
That way he can go on the campaign trail saying they didn't listen to him and that's why they failed.
Yes, folks! John McCain wants the US to fail.

6. I've read elsewhere that he didn't expect Bush |
|
to adopt escalation; he was planning to campaign by saying, "They didn't try it my way, and looked what happened." Now he has to out-Bush Bush, I guess.

8. I think the fact that it's Gates and not Rice |
|
makes a difference. He's not complicit in the mess the way she is, because he just came on board.

15. Something is very amiss here |
|
A Democrat from a heavily Democratic state is supporting a disastrous plan put forward by a president with approval ratings in the low 30s. I wonder if Holy Joe feels he owes the WH for "helping" him win in CT. Otherwise, he's just totally off his rocker.

Gates and Pace are liars too. They are part of the game, last resort, going into Iran will be the last resort they said the same thing on Iraq.
Talking about Somalia, these Senate Committee Members will realize they unleashed a madman.

37. Oh, no. It's only one war. |
|
Global, but still only one. That's why you don't/won't hear Bush say the words "War in Iraq". He always says the "War on Terror".
Not what we signed up for or what Congress authorized; but they've let him get away with it.
