In the end McCain was right!
Does the surge ring a bell?
Yes he was a jerk about the whole thing, bashing Bush in public. That doesn’t take away from him being right.

Even Obama is right once in a while. McCain also wanted to put thousands of our troops on the ground in Kosovo to kill Serbs, whether they deserved it or not. Look it up.
No, he wasn’t right. He was a disloyal, dishonest, grandstanding, backstabbing snake... like he’s been for his entire political career.
Wars that are hopelessly lost aren’t saved in two months time by a modest troop increase. McCain bad-mouthed the war, the President and the SecDef to prop himself up and play savior. And he cost us the House and the Senate in the process.
And for the record, Rumseld presented the surge to the President before McCain ever claimed credit for it. It was one of several options for POTUS to choose from and that’s the strategy Bush selected. So it would have happened with or without McCain’s endless blathering on the Sunday shows about it.
