John McCain has written 7 Op-Ed pieces in the New York Times.

No reason to beat around the bush.....what's your point?

Let me lift the veil of deceit for you, Kenneth...

“I’d be very eager to publish the senator on the op-ed page. However, I’m not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written. I’d be pleased, though, to look at another draft. Let me suggest an approach,” Times op-ed editor David Shipley wrote the campaign via an e-mail later distributed by McCain’s team.

“It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama’s piece. To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving victory — with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis to cooperate. And it would need to describe the Senator’s Afghanistan strategy, spelling out how it meshes with his Iraq plan,” Shipley wrote.

Shipley, who was named deputy editor in January 2003, served in the Clinton administration as a senior presidential speechwriter and special assistant to the president from 1995 to 1997.

Sounds like a set-up to me...you are such a DNC parrot, Kenneth. And it appears that Shipley is too. :)

I suppose BO countered all those Op-Ed pieces with his own but the NYT would print them, right?....... No, I didn't think so......

NYTimes insisted McCain set a timeline--that insipid liberal bird-cage liner has gall making demands of a presidential nominee. McCain formulates his Iraqi strategy and informs voters--not the NYSlimes.
