McCain is really off his rocker
First he says we should stay in Iraq 100 or a 1000 years, then he comes up with this prize:

McCain: I would have started Iraq war regardless of WMD

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/McCain_I_would_have_started_Iraq_0106.html

I don't actually think that is much different than ANY other republican nominees position except Ron Paul, it is just more outspoken

Frankly, THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES that will win or lose us the election

If Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee, and she wants to rebutal that, she is going to have an extremely hard time, especially based on her vote for the Kyle/Lieberman ammendment, which also called for an indefinite pressence of U.S. troops in Iraq as long as Iran is a threat

I am more convienced that because of this, Hillary is the weakess candidate we have

1. He is banking on Iraq being in good shape by next November.

2. The U.S. press barely mentions Iraq anymore. The repug position is very clear
they want a permanent presence in Iraq. I do not think that will resonate well with most Americans

I also think it presents a real problem for Hillary.

If she attacks that position, they will just come back at her with how come you voted for the Kyle/Lieberman ammendment, it essentially says the same thing?

This is going to get interesting

3. Obama voted "present" on Kyle. What did that mean?

4. It means he didn't vote Yes. There is a difference. Clinton took a position

no one forced her to. Is it admirable that Obama stood on the fence, NO it isn't

5. He's right
He'd follow PNAC's orders to a tee.
