McCain claims victory in policy fight with Carney

McCain claims victory in policy fight with Carney

By CNN Staff

Washington (CNN) -- An elephant never forgets, they say, especially a veteran political one like Republican Sen. John McCain.

The Arizona conservative known for his hawkish views claimed a policy victory Thursday over the man who beat him in the 2008 presidential election.

He took to the Senate floor to declare himself right for opposing President Barack Obama's decision to pull U.S. forces out of Iraq in 2011.

"Now we know what happens when we left Iraq. Now we know the consequences," McCain said. "I hope that all those people that called me all of the names that I am not going to repeat here would render an apology because I was right! Because I said if we leave Iraq completely then, we risk the great danger of it deteriorating."

What Jay Carney was thinking:

'Oh, shut up, you rambling, bitter, irrelevant, deranged, senile, war-hungry dick.'

We get a bigger win with your VP choice caught in a Hillbilly drunken stupor fight with possible charges being filed.

who signed the withdrawal agreement. Just wish one really good journalist would call the GOP on this.
