Sen. McCain

Why not just remind us that you were calling for a surge long before Bush agreed and stop slamming Rumsfeld? You can tout your "cred" all you want but why the unnecessary ugliness toward a man who has devoted so much of his life to service? Kinda like you. Yes, it may have taken Bush a LONG time to find his Grant (hopefully) but even if this isn't a new kind of war, the generals always say, "All your plans are great until the fighting starts." We knew that going in.

(I know I've slammed McCain, but I'm a pundit wannabe, not a candidate for the Republican nomination.)
