Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., poked fun at military analysts and embedded reporters in a Wednesday night speech.

I am rather upset at McCain for being one of the Republicans that voted against ANWAR last month. I am wondering if there was any Freeper call to let these senators know that they let down their country with that vote.

Wasn't it McCain who citicized the Bush administrations war plans in Afghanistan when he something to the effect that we needed 50,000 ground troops in Afghanistan right now? Days later the Taliban fell like a ton of bricks.

... I will admit his support for the Iraq war has been unwavering.

McCain is only moving to the right and supporting Bush because he is up for re-election next year. He needs Bush.

Once he is re-elected, McCain will revert to his back-stabbing, anti-Bush behavior and maneuvers to help the RATS and frustrate the Bush agenda.

Frankly I wish McCain would just retire.

Leave it to the great timing of McCain to offer this up at the same time Micheal Kelley gets killed.
