McCain’s "victory" notion in Iraq isn’t new. Clinton called him on it today.
""This morning, John McCain said that four more years of the same
strategy will produce victory in Iraq, though he provided no new approach
or new proposals. This is not the first time Senator McCain has predicted
victory in Iraq. He promises more of the same Bush policies that have weakened
our military, our national security, and our standing in the world. Our country
cannot afford more empty promises on Iraq. When I am President, the United
States will no longer give Iraq a blank check. I will bring this war to a
swift and honorable conclusion, and bring our troops home, beginning within
60 days of taking office." – Senator
Hillary Clinton
Clinton also slammed Bush for his outrageous performance in Israel:
"President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers
is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of
his failures in foreign policy. This is the kind of statement that has no
place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment
like the 60th anniversary celebration of Israel to make a political point
seems terribly misplaced. Unfortunately, this is what we’ve come to
expect from President Bush."
Open thread.
