McCain is indeed in a pickle. He doesnt accept the outcome in vietnam much less iraq. He needs to make the case that American foreign policy in the mideast has to accept the bush fuck ups as a part of history and we have to make FP on where we are now and not where we wish we were. McClellan should run as Obama's VP. (g). He makes everything obama says ring a bit truer today and it also makes us remember who hillary's husband is and some of the dirt she thru at obama in this campaign. Bye bye bushes, bye bye clintons. Lets have it John and Barack.

Kind of puts McCain and the GOP in a real pickle, though. If the Iraq war really was about remaking the Middle East, why wasn't that story good enough to sell to Americans? McCain will have a tough time answering that. And the Dems won't have to answer why they too thought Saddam had WMD and once believed in regime change. Even if you bought the war at inception, still, I don't think the American people would EVER have bought into a 6+ year occupation and nation building thing. That was NEVER talked about. If you did a survey before the war I'm sure 90% of people would have said we would be out within a year. The whole thing has been a deception, and the people who should be most pissed off are the people who supported the war in the first place.

>>> Kind of puts McCain and the GOP in a real pickle, though. Only for a few days. It isn't the kind of damaging material his opponent has to face. McClellan has a huge credibility problem and I suspect when people start reading the book it is going to get worse, not better.

Personally I think he's disgusted with the culture of denial within the White House and wants to set the record straight while poking the eyes of Rove and Cheney in the process. Yes, but why is the question. If not money, then it has to be what? Love of country? Conscience? Integrity? He's seen what these guys do to political enemies and I am sure he's not eager to be put through the same drill they did O'Neil, or all the other "disgruntled" employees who've gone on to write tell alls.
