Salon.com in Feb 2007:

By simultaneously endorsing the surge and harshly criticizing certain aspects of the Bush plan as potentially disastrous, McCain appears to be hedging his bets should the surge fail. "He is looking for an exit strategy if it does not work," said Stephen Wayne, a political science professor at Georgetown University. "It says: 'You just did not do it right, Mr. President.'"

2. Make him admit he was wrong about Casey. And WMD, and going to war in the 1st place

and the war paying for itself and it being a short war and all the comments we can find of his that turned out not to have happened.

Then we'll talk about how to walk back from the worst foreign policy decision this country has ever made.

3. Well, at least he's looking for that exit strategy.

That's more than W ever did.
