McCain: With Today's Knowledge, Still Would Vote for War

Chalk up another one for John McCain under lessons unlearned:

McCain: US winning in Iraq

Sen. John McCain said that he is willing to stake his presidential campaign, as well as his political career, on his support for the war in Iraq.

In an interview with reporters on the back of his campaign bus, the "Straight Talk Express" Monday afternoon, McCain said that even in retrospect he would still have voted to authorize the war, as he did in 2002.

"I think there's no question," said the Republican's likely presidential nominee. "I owe too much to these young people who are serving there to let political considerations interfere with what I know is right.

"I believe the American people, over time, will side with me, but if they don't I'll accept that," he said. "I'd much rather lose a political campaign than lose a war."

Stubborn, delusional, unwilling to admit error, even with advantage of hindsight. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of Americans are "very concerned" that McCain will indeed govern as the third Bush administration?
