McCain defends Bush's new Iraq plan

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain defended President Bush's Iraq plan on Friday as a difficult but necessary move, parting company with lawmakers fiercely resisting the military build up.

"I believe that together these moves will give the Iraqis and Americans the best chance of success," said McCain, R-Ariz., a leading presidential contender for 2008.

McCain also took a shot at Democrats who say the United States must bring some troops home within four to six months.

1. We can only be thrilled

that both mccain and lieberman hold the opinions they do. It will mean certain defeat for them both.

3. You'd think if any Senator would understand the

futility of escalating an unwinnable war, it would be McCain. I think he's insane.

The word of President Numbnuts and assholes McCain and Lieberman (only one of the three who has served in the military) versus the word of generals, the Iraq Study Group, the voters, and most of the government.
