Unbelieveable
John McCain still says we just need to add more troops to Iraq and everything will be swell:
On NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) called for immediately adding more U.S. soldiers on the ground in Iraq. Echoing the failed strategy behind the escalation during the Vietnam War, McCain suggested that putting more troops in the middle of Iraq’s civil war would help the U.S. to ultimately prevail.
You'd think he, above all others, would know the difference.

Looks like 2006 and 2008 are shaping up to be a referendum on the war .... even more than I thought it would. If the Republicans nominate a candidate who is a hawk on Iraq (given the reality on the ground, I thought they were extinct?), that's exactly what the election will feature.

If it does turn into a referendum on Iraq "our side" should do well since most Americans want us out. On the other hand, if the dems run Hillary that will probably insure another 4 years of a repub in the oval office.
You'd think someone would have noticed Lamont's victory.
