John McCain talking to Bill Bennett on Monday:
There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today [the U.S.] is beginning to succeed in Iraq.
And today he told Wolf Blitzer when asked about going outside the Green Zone in Baghdad:
You know, that’s where you ought a catch up on things Wolf. Uh General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee. I think you ought a catch up you see. You are giving the old line of three months ago.
Compare that to what retired General Barry McCaffrey had to say in today’s Washington Post:
The government lacks dominance in every province, he added. One result is that “no Iraqi government official, coalition soldier, diplomat, reporter, foreign NGO [nongovernmental organization], nor contractor can walk the streets of Baghdad, nor Mosul, nor Kirkuk, nor Basra, nor Tikrit, nor Najaf, nor Ramadi, without heavily armed protection.”
Blitzer later spoke with Michael Ware who has been in Baghdad for four years. Michael Ware said McCain was the one that needs to catch up and then jokingly invited McCain to come over and take a stroll. Watch it here.
McCain drank the Kool-Aid back in 2004 when he started campaigning for Bush. He’s been wacked ever since.
