SEN. McCAIN: Mm-hmm.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10266650/

<snip>MR. RUSSERT: Let me show you something that John McCain said describing a war situation: "And we have a horrific strain on the men and women in the military. We can't keep our pilots. We're lowering our recruiting standards. It's a very serious situation. And to have another one of these extended, unending burdens placed on the men and women in the military has some consequences. All I'm saying is: Let's develop a strategy overall and let's also then develop an exit strategy for this particular situation."

That was February 14, 1999, Kosovo. That's exactly what the Democrats are saying about Iraq.

SEN. McCAIN: Mm-hmm.

MR. RUSSERT: Aren't they saying things that should be said and should be listened to?

SEN. McCAIN: Mm-hmm. Well, I guess this is true confessions. I was wrong about Kosovo.

1. He was for it, then he was against it and then he was for it!
It's only a flip flop if you're a democrat.

2. And he's wrong about Iraq.
At least he's consistent.

3. McCain was all over Clinton to send in ground troops to Kosovo also
Thankfully Clinton told McCain to bite it.
