McCain is becoming Bush 2.0
McCain warns of 9-11 style terror attack, OR WORSE, if we leave Iraq.

LEXINGTON, Virginia: Senator John McCain, seeking the Republican presidential nomination, accused potential Democratic rivals Wednesday of playing "small politics" in opposing the war in Iraq.

McCain, whose candidacy has been shaken by his support of the war, spoke in vivid terms, saying withdrawal would lead to chaos across the Middle East, embolden Al Qaeda and expose the United States to a terrorist attack on the order of Sept. 11, 2001 - "or worse."

He repeatedly portrayed Democrats as acting out of political opportunism - and Republicans as acting on principle - in the debate in Washington.

He was screaming for Clinton to send our troops into Kosovo. Fecking Kosovo! We would still be fighting an insurgency there if Clinton had listened to him.

8. "He repeatedly portrayed Democrats as acting out of political opportunism - and Republicans

And it's a slam on his old best buddy, Chuck Hagel, who I suppose McCain believes is also acting out of political opportunism. No wonder their friendship is reportedly over. McCain turns more odious by the day.
