Uhm, why is it some shocking surprise that 70% of the American people want to get out of Iraq? As if that is something that should entail a premature withdrawal before victory?

Of course 70% of the American people want to get out of Iraq. Who the hell DOESN’T want to out of Iraq? Everyone wants out of Iraq!

Bingo!

The framing of the question posed by our MSM polls have been scewed to fit the spinless left’s agenda of defeat. Boxer and her minions see no further than the next election cycle while appeasing our enemys. History will not be so kind to these cowards that play their political games at the expense of security of this nation, and indeed the stability of an Iraqi nation.

I’m no fan of McCain but even a broken clock is right twice a day. I give praise where it is due and for this he deserves our praise. He will never get my vote in the primaries no matter what he does but he does “get” the war on terror.

The difference is that most Americans want to get out AFTER WE WIN.

Maybe Mrs. Boxer should use her great powers of nuance and try to distinguish between pulling out before or after victory.

And maybe she should ask for a poll to be taken that asks people if they want to withdrawal from Iraq even if it brings about a catastrophe, i.e. losing the war.

It’s a bravo performance by McCain.

He’s so absolutely right about this issue it’s a shame he has squandered his chances of winning the GOP nomination by ill considered positions on campaign finance, the anti-Constitutional “gang of 14″ the terrorist bill of rights and the recent immigration bill.

I suppose he feels he is just doing what he thinks is right and should be commended for his courage. But as much as I value his input on the war, he loses my support with those other issues.

Despite that, I wish him well and I hope he is able to continue his campaign.

Time to name names: Smith (OR), Dole (SC), Snowe (ME), Collins (ME), Voinovich (OH), Hagel (NE). All of them, in one way or another, owe their current Senate seat to the President. Without his help, they wouldn’t be in office. Do they speak for the Republican base and those who voted for the President? They do not.

As to the claim the Iraqi parliment hasn’t met any of the political and economic benchmarks since January, the briefer at yesterday’s miltary press briefing in Baghdad observed Congress hasn’t done much this year either.

Why am I reminded of something from the Revolutionary War when I see these politicians waver and wilt in the face of heated opposition, of a tough going.

McCain is just fabulous on the war — the man is highly respected for this stand he takes. I think it would be a great idea for him to focus on the war and suspend his campaign.

God bless you Senator McCain!
