McCain's Speech
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

So, we did a fact check on McCain's speech.  The basic gist.  If the speech gives you warm fuzzies and makes you feel like McCain's foreign policy is somehow better then George Bush's, check that idea quickly.

  • McCain spoke eloquently about the horrors of war, yet has a long history of being too reliant on military action.
  • McCain's own rhetoric since 9-11 helped promote the Bush Administration's failed war and mocked and alienated many of the important allies McCain now says we must re-engage.
  • McCain's Iraq war-first view of the world that is the greatest obstacle to the kinds of changes McCain says he wants to make.
  • McCain cannot repair our relationships with the world as long as there are more than 100,000 American troops still in Iraq.
  • McCain ignores the alarms sent up by our nation's intelligence agencies who believe that the central threat to the U.S. homeland is in Pakistan - not Iraq.
  • McCain rejects reality on the ground in Iraq, which today includes a flare-up of the civil war between various Shi'a factions that threatens the most basic foundations of our effort there.

If you still don't believe me.  Just read George Bush's second inaugural.  All these great things they talk about are not even going to start to happen until we start drawing our forces out of Iraq.
