John McCain has no "Plan-B" for Iraq

John McCain has fumbled once again on the goal line. After staying a strong and steady course over the last few months using his "straight talk" tactics he's suddenly fallen victim to his double talk again. This time it was on the front page of the New York Times. Slate.com reports it as a "self-destruction" but I think I would avoid calling it anything more than another folly. However, McCain is quickly becoming the GOP-version of John Kerry. Not quite a flip-flopper, but one step back towards a coward who avoids confrontation of the real issues by saying whatever his audience wants him to say. This is pretty harsh criticism, but the harsh reality is going to be even worse for McCain if he doesn't step up and stick to his guns. And let's be honest, at least he didn't sing "Bomb Iran" again...
