"McCain never treated Bill Cohen, Clinton’s defense secretary, with the kind of personal animus he showed Donald Rumsfeld. McCain often confuses policy with personality affronts. He was social friends with Cohen so he didn’t admonish him about his hollowing out of the military.

His attacks on Rumsfeld started before his disagreement over the surge. Their personalities clashed. And as before, McCain wanted to get even. The fact that he was right on the surge, which has now evolved into mythical proportions with the help of his campaign and supporters, goes high on the credit side of the ledger."

~~~

McCain's behavior and agenda are driven by his delicate ego, brazen opportunism and revenge for perceived slights or offenses. NOT acceptable character or stability for a CIC. I personally don't think he'll be the candidate. That blessed "angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm," and the entire script of this political season has yet to be played out.

McCain doesn’t seem..stable, to me. I don’t say that to be mean or unkind.
