McCain was right?
Sorry, but the idea that Sen. John McCain is doing well in the Republican primaries and would do well in a general election because he was "right" about the Iraq War is a bogus theory. McCain does well because he was a war hero and POW and because of his independent political makeup.
He was right about Iraq in a strategic sense only, because he saw the need for a much larger deployment of troops from the beginning but was ignored by the Bush administration. He was wrong because it was a war the U.S. did not need to fight and one that has cost us dearly in many ways and kept us from focusing on our true enemy, al-Qaida, while costing us the respect and trust of friends and detractors alike, not to mention in lives and treasure.
