Flip Flop McCain: ‘We will win this conflict. We will win it easily’



MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, reading a Think Progress post nearly word for word last night, reminded me that it’s time to update the list of John McCain’s flip-flops. From last night’s Countdown:
The winner [of the daily Worst Person in the World] is Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona, [who] told us today that he knew that the war in Iraq war was “probably going to be long and hard and tough,” and that he was “sorry” for anybody who voted it thinking it would be “some kind of an easy task.”
Sen. McCain on CNN on Sept. 24, 2002: “I believe that the success will be fairly easy.”
Sen. McCain on CNN on Sept. 29, 2002: “We’re not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies.”
Sen. McCain on this network on Jan. 22, 2003: “We will win this conflict. We will win it easily.”
What’s that’s called again? Flip-flopping? Senator, we keep all the tapes of these interviews. C’mon!

McCain is finished and he knows it. With the idiot Bush sending more soldiers to die and McCain supporting it. Well it's all over and the fat lady has sung already. As for Rudy well smart more leaking his past but there's to much he's involved it as a Mob and Crooks to make any difference. Now as for Romney well it another Bush with a silver spoon in his butt with his dodge of the military and Solomon wives policy. Last and lease is Brokeback aka Brownback that says it all. The movie didn't get the Oscar but Brokeback/Brownback will help sell more of the movie.
