Sen. McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Plan

Well, he's got one supporter. 

Sen. McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Plan
Friday, January 12, 2007

WASHINGTON —  Sen. John McCain defended President Bush's Iraq plan on Friday as a difficult but necessary move, parting company with lawmakers fiercely resisting the military build up.

"I believe that together these moves will give the Iraqis and Americans the best chance of success," said McCain, R-Ariz., a leading presidential contender for 2008.

McCain also took a shot at Democrats who say the United States must bring some troops home within four to six months.

"I believe these individuals ... have a responsibility to tell us what they believe are the consequences of withdrawal in Iraq," he said. "If we walk away from Iraq, we'll be back, possibly in the context of a wider war in the world's most volatile region."

McCain spoke at the Senate Armed Services Committee, where Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spent a second day on Capitol Hill defending the president's strategy. . . . .

McCain is looking to shift the void in the repub party which was occupied by neocon spenders who have left for the pvt sector.

Lots of dollars to be donated to a mean republican by the military firms to ensure their goal (continued stalemate) is met.

If these dollars don't go to mccain, they go to a guy like newt who won't win anyway.

McCain is supporting this to collect campaign dollars in the hope that americans, with goldfish memories, will forget this vote in 22 months when they vote.  They will.  He hopes the rich contractors whose proxy policy he's publicly supporting, will not.

I agree.  He had to do something.  Not sure if this is the right thing.
