I heard McCain correctly. Do a search and you'll find it. Go to McCain's website. I cannot give you a URL for a TV show but I don't lie. Remember that. I never post anything I cannot back up. There is a whole thread devoted to trying to catch me in a lie. They never found one despite many hours of trying.

chblue.com Worse yet, there are signs that Bush is losing the support of key senators in his own party, namely John McCain and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Though there is no love lost between Bush and McCain—the residue of the brutal nomination race—the senator has been a dutiful soldier. Until now. In a NEWSWEEK interview, McCain for the first time compared the situation in Iraq to Vietnam, where he survived six years of wartime imprisonment, and began openly distancing himself from Bush’s war strategy. McCain, aides say, was rankled by what he saw as a useless, Panglossian classified briefing, especially after reading Donald Rumsfeld’s now infamous internal memo. In it, the secretary of Defense said that Iraq would be a “long slog,” and admitted the government had no “metric” for knowing if it was making net progress in ridding the world of terrorists. “This is the first time that I have seen a parallel to Vietnam,” McCain declared, “in terms of information that the administration is putting out versus the actual situation on the ground. I’m not saying the situation in Iraq now is as bad as Vietnam. But we have a problem in the Sunni Triangle and we should face up to it and tell the American people about it.” Also reminiscent of Vietnam, McCain said, was the administration’s reluctance to deploy forces with the urgency required for the quickest victory. “I think we can be OK, but time is not on our side... If we don’t succeed more rapidly, the challenges grow greater.” The above are comments made by McCain last October. Given the tone then, his making complaints about Bush corruption now do not seem so farfetched......at least not to me. Bush has made a lot of mistakes that now seem to be catching up with him. At some point, the GOP is going to start to worry. Don't you think McCain would take advantage of that situation? After all, there is no love lost between McCain and Bush. ted
