OK, OK. I was a bit over the top including John McCain in my list with Kerry and Dean. It should have been Daschle. While McCain has oft been critical of the Bush administration, perhaps sour grapes over the primary loss in the last election, he has shown support for the effort in Iraq.
In a recent interview with the Detroit Free Press, McCain said, "But I would like to add that we cannot afford to lose this. You could argue whether we went in or not, whether we should have gone in or not. That's an interesting academic exercise in whether it was justified. I happen to believe it was. But we are and we can't lose now. We cannot lose, the stakes are just too high. The consequences of failure are."
He right, we can argue about some things, but when it comes to whether to stay, or cut and run, there is no argument. We cannot fail, we cannot capitulate, we cannot run.
Sorry for misrepresenting you John.
