McCain: Bush was unrealistic about war

By JIM DAVENPORT, Associated Press Writer Sun Sep 16, 6:32 AM ET

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Saturday that voters are frustrated with the war in Iraq because of the Bush administration's unrealistic projections early in the conflict.

The Arizona senator told reporters he was pleased with Gen. David Petraeus' testimony before Congress this past week because it "did not present this totally rosy scenario. That's why Americans are frustrated today."

He blamed "different administration officials" for that. "It's all the president's responsibility," McCain said, but those reporting to him were also responsible.

Earlier in the day, McCain was critical of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying his failings "frustrated and saddened" the American people.
