McCain holds talks in Britain (British public opinion matters)
US public opinion - not so much (or, so?)

John McCain, a staunch supporter of the war in Iraq, is declining to criticize Britian's decision to cut back its commitment.

(snip)

Speaking to reporters at the residence of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee said he "fully appreciates" British frustration with the war.

Earlier this week in Iraq, McCain said a quick pullout would only help Iran and al-Qaida. McCain says his warnings referred only to a precipitous withdrawal of U.S. forces. He says what Britain does is a decision for its government and people.

1. I've always thought a caricature was hand-drawn....
Graham looks like he couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag.

2. Why are these 3 putzes
on this tour? How about if Barak or Hillary do a tour of their own. Just to get to know the other players. You think the RW media would let that pass by unsquawked about?

5. British public opinion matters?
You wouldn't get that impression the way some of our politicians carry on!

On a side note, I don't think that too many Brits are all that fussed about McCain. It's the Hilary v Obama dogfight that gets our attention.
