Even if he disagreed with Rummy on the war effort, he should have kept his political mouth shut. He is no Republican or a conservative. Hard to tell what he really stands for or believes in.

This sort of thing will sink McCain's campaign. Besides, he should know that, push-come-to shove, the final decisions were not made by Rumsfeld. I suspect a "consensus" in the NSC was the problem. It is not suited to be a war cabinet, because it contains the Secretary of State, who represents a department that can do nothing except talk.

No it's not!
He stands for and believes in anything that makes himself stand out for that particular moment.
John is for John and NOTHING else!
Only the reflection in the mirror.
