(Between Tim C. and YouTube and Bill Duncan, John McCain might do better here just avoiding this state altogether. - promoted by Dean Barker)
McCain's "We are gonna withdraw; we will withdraw" quasi-surrender to reality has gotten some coverage, but the massive, ground-shifting -- and, as far as I can tell, entirely unnoticed, -- switcheroo comes about a sentence later:
"If I thought that al-Qaeda was completely defeated, I would say all of us should come home right away."
That's right: without so much as a press release, John McCain has announced that the sole purpose for our remaining in Iraq is the defeat of al-Qaeda.
Not stability. Not democracy. Not peace. Not a friendly government. Not a non-Iranian-proxy government. Not a non-radical-Shia-Islamic-extremist government. Just the defeat of al-Qaeda. Period.
The United States Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of this country. ... We are now going to have the courts flooded with so-called, quote, Habeas Corpus suits against the government, whether it be about the diet, whether it be about the reading material.
John McCain does not have a clue what Habeas Corpus is.
Repeat: Not. A. Clue.
Yet that does not stop him from ranting about it in a tone of affronted morality. Who does that remind you of?
And this?!??
so-called, quote, Habeas Corpus suits
What, is Habeas Corpus now some boutique liberal conceit, like soy latte and Birkenstocks, that all the manly men of the GOP are obliged to sneer at? Were the Magna Carta, Blackstone, Hamilton, and the Constitution of the United States of America just some prissy little elitist fairy tales that McCain has decided to trade in for a mess of Neanderthal pottage?
