AH, but he IS still lying and using obfuscating jingoism to justify his own failures...he's more full of shit than ever. Why anyone still buts this crap is beyond comprehension. Stupid, blind sheeple!

He is a bully, and doesn't have the balls to admit when he has done wrong. Not now, not ever....

Constipated fockin' stupid lying asshat.

He started a surge so violence would drop so political achievements would leap ahead.
Violence did drop - tho' largely in places where US troops were not - but almost no political progress happened.
So now he drops the idea of political progress as the purpose of the surge, and calls it a success because violence dropped.
It's the old pattern: Declare a goal, miss it, declare a smaller goal was the real goal all along.

And McCain is more pro-war than Bush and has the highest Bush-support voting record in the Senate (95%), only voting cross-party on a few highly visible issues. He still believes Vietnam was a good idea, and has advocated bombing Iran. He scarcely knows the difference between Shiites and Sunnis, recently suggesting a link between Shiite Iran to Sunni al Qaeda.

He was a brave POW. But does that make him a President?
McCain is Bush on steroids.

Well Yance,
You and I agree on one thing for sure. The war was wrong. And I might add that I think it was based on a pack of lies.

I recall a quote from Oliver Stone's movie 'Nixon' :

Nixon shuffles back alone, coming to a stop in front of a larger-than-life, full-length oil portrait of JOHN F. KENNEDY. Nixon studies the portrait, pads closer. Looks up.

NIXON
When they look at you, they see what they want to be.
(then)
When they look at me, they see what they are ...

There is a lot of compound ignorance in that GW.
