McCain: A ‘Pretty Good Timetable’

NYT

First the Iraqi government gave Senator Barack Obama a boost by seeming to embrace his proposal for a 16-month timetable for withdrawing American troops from Iraq. But could Senator John McCain, who built his candidacy in large part on his opposition to a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, possibly be following suit?

“I think it’s a pretty good timetable,” Mr. McCain said Friday in an interview on CNN’s “The Situation Room,’’ before adding that it should be based “on the conditions on the ground.’’

2. This is mindblowing. Someone pass out the flip - flops and start chanting

and then we can all put purple band-aids on our faces and deride McBrainFreeze for his service.

3. If McCain Were A Dem...

And constantly did shit like this...yadda yadda...

[marimour]

4. I partially blame the Dem. Talking heads for not being as coordinated with their talking points

[Youphemism]

5. This is how FCC regulations impair good reporting...

When McCain made that flop, the only proper response Blitzer could give would be, "Senator McCain -- you must be shittin' me. After listening to you rant for a year about how he's naive and inexperienced, you're now adopting Obama's exact position -- to be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in? You've finally decided to throw your own policy under the bus, to keep your disgraced campaigners company?

"Do you think nobody is going to notice this? Is your sorry ass on crack, or what?"

7. Did he just concede the foreign policy issue to Obama and fold?

That's what this sounds like.

"Obama was right all along. I give up"

Or will he tomorrow deny ever saying it?

8. I just hope someone places all his Iraq views in one ad

Has any candidate had this many different, at odds views of the same issue for which they claim mastery of?
