McCain Now Supports a Timetable

After trying his hardest to say that he's never used the word timetable and that he's never supported one, John McCain said last night on Larry King that he would support Obama's 16 month timetable for withdrawal. But only if the commanders supported it. Inch by inch, he's getting closer to reality.

Also during the interview McCain said that invading a sovereign country because our intelligence community screwed up was the right thing to do. But cautioned that talking about a sovereign country--much less invading it--with absolute known WMD would be wrong. In the Republican Fantasy World invading Iraq even though we were totally wrong was the right thing to do. Invading Pakistan, or even talking about it, a country with known quantities of WMD that harbors the person responsible for 9/11 would be wrong because it's a sovereign country. Anyone else see the logic in this?

We can't go after bin Laden because he's being harbored by a SOVEREIGN country with WMD which might easily slip into his hands but we can invade and occupy a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 and had no WMD, was completely contained and posed no threat to any other country. In fact it's so imperative that we stay and occupy the country that had nothing to do with 9/11 forever because in McCain's words, "they are all connected."
