McCain: I'll lose to win - too!
By Ron Beasley
Earlier in the week John McCain said that Obama would be willing to lose a war to win the election. A couple of days latter who is willing to surrender?
McCain Gives Qualified Endorsement to Iraq Timetable
First the Iraqi government gave Senator Barack Obama a boost by seeming to embrace his proposal for a 16-month timetable for withdrawing American troops from Iraq. Now could Senator John McCain, who built his candidacy in large part on his opposition to such a schedule, possibly be following suit?
“I think it’s a pretty good timetable,” Mr. McCain said Friday in an interview on “The Situation Room” on CNN, before adding that it should be based “on the conditions on the ground.”
For months Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has strongly opposed setting a timetable for withdrawal and has criticized Mr. Obama, his Democratic rival, for suggesting one. But the debate has shifted in recent days as Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, moved closer to Mr. Obama’s position.
Did he really mean it? Probably not, but it just one more example of how St John McCain is a confused old man who will say anything to fulfill his dream of being President. John McCain did not have the "right stuff" to be an admiral like his father and grandfather so he need to one up them - Commander in Chief. It's really hard to find an issue that McCain has not flip flopped on to please one special interest group or base sometimes on the same day. Every time McCain opens his mouth it becomes less likely he will be president. The media is not covering McCain not because they want Obama to win but because McCain himself makes it impossible for them to make him look like anything but a dotting old fool.
Is there any wonder why even Charles Krauthammer is willing to concede that Obama will win?
