McCain: Current Iraq Plan Is Best Option

By MIKE BAKER
The Associated Press
Saturday, May 26, 2007; 8:30 PM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain,
comparing the U.S. effort in Iraq to military campaigns like the
Normandy invasion, said Saturday the current plan is the only decent
option.

The Arizona senator has criticized Democrats for failing to consider
"Plan B" _ or the consequences of withdrawing troops.

McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press that he is only
focused on figuring out how to make the current military plan work.
A new course, he said, won't be considered until the end of the year.

"I believe that General (Dwight) Eisenhower didn't have a Plan B at
Normandy, and I don't think that General (Ulysses S.) Grant had a
plan B when he decided to take Richmond," said McCain, referring to
turning-point battles in World War II and the Civil War. "I know of a
number of other options _ the problem is, none of them are any good."

3. McCain and the Creature from Crawford.
Both irrelevant. And dumber than dirt.

4. I, for one, would like to hear Johnny Mac or any other puke tell us
just what the fucking plan is that we are currently operating under. Me suspects they have no clue, no clue at all. I sure don't. I guess the current plan is victory. The same as the Cubs has been for a hundred years. Just missing some of the details.

7. It's the best option, because he based his whole campaign on it. Now THAT'S objectivity!

8. and why do we keep allowing them to call it "the US effort in Iraq"
or the "War in Iraq"? Call it what it is: The George Bush War. He wanted it, promoted it, lied for it, started it, and now refuses to end it. The Iraqis didn't want it, most of the world didn't want it, even the americans he duped didn't really want it. His name should be stamped on it for all times, in all the history books.
