I don't like McCain but I don't see how Hillary benefits from going after him on Iraq. They were both for the war and McCain served this country unlike her.
She would look pathetic going after McCain.
As bad as McCain is he is still far better than Hillary. I don't like McCain's politics but he isn't a left wing nut shrill like Hillary.
She won't go after him..the media will. "Were you duped by Chalabi?"
The number of times they met will be news. My point is McCain is a hawk. His domestic politics are the only thing that separates him from Bush. If he imagines that Bush and Cheney and the whole Iraq enterprise can get discredited with Plamegate and he won't feel it, he's nuts.
Assuming this is as bad as the left hopes it is... def con three scenario, who comes out looking good?
I think Powell is over. He's nothing on the Right and the Left will only sing his praises so long as he and his underlings keep trashing Bush.
McCain is hurt. Armitage is over. Scowcroft is right that a muscular foreign policy will be discredited for a long time if the bleeding doesn't stop.
Who is best positioned to profit from all this? I know the media is eager to make it Hillary. Polls , probably fake polls, say voters now want a woman and voters also prefer a Democrat to steer the ship of state?
