At one time Senator McCain was the darling of the Media Elite, a counter to the Bush White House, know he might as well be George W. Bush in the eyes of the elite media. His support for the war and his critical view of the Democrats in a recent speech place his hopes on winning the Republican nomination through success in Iraq. The Senator in many respects is following his own path as he has followed it through the years, he is the same man as he was in 2000 when he ran against the then Governor George W. Bush, he spoke from the heart then and it is the same know. The Elite Media and the Foreign Policy Establishment thinks Iraq is a mess that cant be won, the exception is of course George W. Bush and Senator McCain, they are following a path followed by Ronald Reagan when dealing with Cold War. The same people never thought Reagan was right, who was right in the end, Reagan was thus McCain is right to fight that Congress support the troops, it is right both in terms of the correct policy and also for the politics of 2008. If Iraq turn out alright, alright is not great but alright then McCain can win the Republican Nomination and then White House. If it does not work then McCain has fought the right fight, better to be on the right side of an issue that take a weak and appeasing view, the view of the Democrats.
