As noted here on Friday, we've compiled a vast (perhaps too vast) timeline of McCain's statements about Bush administration policy on Iraq -- and it casts some doubt on McCain's claim that he was a broad critic of Bush policy and a prescient predictor of what would happen with the war.

Now we've updated the timeline with a couple of real finds from readers. There's this one from a McCain Op ed in The New York Times (wonderfully entitled "The Right War for the Right Reasons") which shows McCain's predictive powers to have been less than keen...

[N]o one can plausibly argue that ridding the world of Saddam Hussein will not significantly improve the stability of the region and the security of American interests and values....Isn't it more likely that antipathy toward the United States in the Islamic world might diminish amid the demonstrations of jubilant Iraqis celebrating the end of a regime that has few equals in its ruthlessness?' Didn't those who argued that the war 'would not significantly improve the stability of the region and the security of American interests and values,' and that 'antipathy toward the U. S. in the Islamic world' would skyrocket, have a point?

We also added this fun nugget, which casts a bit of doubt on McCain's claim to have "consistently" insisted we need more troops in Iraq...

During a 2005 appearance on Meet the Press, Tim Russert asked McCain, "Do you believe we have enough American troops on the ground right now?" McCain answered, "I think we have in numbers probably enough."

If you all unearth more, we'll add them. You can view our updated timeline right here.
