Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., poked fun at military analysts and embedded reporters in a Wednesday night speech. At a fundraising event for the Juvenile Diabetes Relief Fund, McCain said he liked the military analysts who are appearing on network and cable news shows talking about the war on Iraq, but wondered where they all come from.

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.

I heard Tom DeLay call these ex-military mouth pieces "Blow Dried Napoleons"...
To: Paladin2b
How, exactly, did McCain become an expert at anything ?
To: Paladin2b
He knows that the really smart ex military types run for office.
