The Real Insanity Of McCain's 100 Years Remark

John K. Wilson | Posted April 30, 2008 | Off The Bus


John K. Wilson

The Republican National Committee is trying to suppress a Democratic National Committee ad against John McCain, claiming that it’s "false information." And they’re right: the DNC ad does give a misleading impression about McCain and his comments about occupying Iraq for 100 years, which McCain does make conditional on...

McCain's Fatal Problem: He's Become a Liar

Frank Schaeffer | Posted April 24, 2008 | Politics


Frank Schaeffer

I've tried to figure out what is so insidious about Senator McCain's stubborn support for the misbegotten war in Iraq. I've tried to figure out why -- as the father of a Marine who fought in that war, and as an ardent supporter of our military who believes in the...

The 100 Years Defense Makes No Sense

Ilan Goldenberg | Posted April 16, 2008 | Politics


Ilan Goldenberg

John McCain has been insisting that his 100 years in Iraq comment is being taken out of context. That in fact what he meant is that American troops can stay in Iraq for fifty or 100 years if American troops are no longer being attacked. This assertion leads to a...

The Ricing on the Cake for a Republican Disaster

Bennet Kelley | Posted April 15, 2008 | Politics


Bennet Kelley

Just as Democrats have grown increasingly worried about their chances of recapturing the White House with Senators Clinton and Obama playing "catch the grenade" in the campaign's homestretch, Senator McCain and the Republicans have stepped in to reassert their claim to a defeat that is rightfully theirs. Last week Senator...

"There Is No Substitute for Victory," and Other Flights from Reality

Harold Pollack | Posted April 10, 2008 | Politics


Harold Pollack

More than a half-century ago, Douglas MacArthur proclaimed: "There is no substitute for victory." John McCain repeated this line the other day. Maybe these bromides are mere red meat intended for the Republican base. If not, McCain is on a dangerous flight from reality. These speeches make me wonder where...

Ilyse Hogue | Posted April 9, 2008 | Politics


Ilyse Hogue

It seems like no matter what happens in Iraq, the Bush administration and John McCain always have an answer: 6 more months.

When the "surge" began a year ago, they told America things would get better by September. In September, they said we'd know more by spring. And this week,...

McCain Seeks "Success" Instead of "Victory" in Iraq

Craig Crawford | Posted April 9, 2008 | Politics


Craig Crawford

Thanks to John McCain, there is a new word in the Iraq war lexicon. Gone is George W. Bush's talk of "victory" or "winning." The new standard is merely "success."

More than a dozen times in his short opening statement on Tuesday at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on...

Petraeus' Testimony: Everything His President Wants to Hear

Robert Scheer | Posted April 9, 2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

General Betray Us? Of course he has. MoveOn.org can hardly be expected to recycle its slogan from last September, when Gen. David Petraeus testified in support of escalating the U.S. war in Iraq, given the hysterical denunciations that worthy group received at the time. But it was right then --...
