McCain Previews General Election Strategy: Dems Were Wrong About Iraq
At a press conference today, presumptive GOP nominee John McCain signaled his general election strategy: Dems were wrong about Iraq; Bush's strategy is "succeeding," the surge worked, if we had done things the Dems' way, Al Qaeda would have succeeded in Iraq...
Kicking off your campaign with a message that's at odds with solid majority sentiment that the war wasn't worth fighting doesn't strike us as terribly sound, but perhaps McCain is practicing the Rovian technique of turning your opponents' greatest advantage into a weakness.
It's also worth noting that Obama, perhaps more so than Hillary, can argue that if we'd never invaded, there would never have been any Al Qaeda in Iraq in the first place.
