My god! What a speech by McCain today on Iraq:
[flv:mccainiraq.flv 400 300]While I disagree with this man on many political issues, feeling the McCain-Feingold act was something for which he can never be forgiven, on Iraq and the war on terror I have no disagreement with him.
Bill Kristol made the statement on John Gibson’s show today that McCain should suspend his campaign and go out and push for victory in Iraq, at least until after September, and then re-start his campaign. It may very well invigorate the campaign that is imploding. (h/t Hot Air)
That jackass message needs to be said over and over and over again. The same Senate that unanimously voted for Gen. Petreus, who wanted a new strategy and received a new strategy, who decided September was a good date to pick for an update, now wants to pull the plug in July.
Why?
For politics.
Republican cowards who will never measure up to Bush are running for cover to save their hides. They have no backbone, no courage, no conviction. They have to understand that cutting and running will be a disaster, just like McCain said of Vietnam above, for Iraqi’s and Americans alike.
The one thing that I respect the most about Bush is that no matter what the political consequences are he does what he feels is right. He doesn’t waver like the wind with the polls. While I disliked his stance on immigration I understood what I was getting on the issue in 2000 and respect that he stuck to his guns. I respect any politician like that.
Sadly, some Republicans in the Senate are once again proving that you cannot trust them….they will sell out any cause, or any person to save their jobs.
