McCain blames Americans First
McCain in his speech on Friday 7/25 sounded like he was laying the responsibility for the Iraq debacle at the feet of the American people. Something like "presidents don't lose wars, nations lose wars".
I just about puked.
This is outrageous and he should be called out by every journalist over this. It smacks of the "Stab-in-the-back legend" the Nazis used after World War One to explain away German WW I defeat, and is probably what McCain secretly believes (wrongly) about Vietnam.
(Another commenter rightly pointed out yet another similarity on an earlier thread, that "... After Hitler started losing WWII, and before he shot himself in the bunker, he stated that the German people were too weak to accomplish the goals he had set for it,...")
Someone must call him out on this non-sense.
Please David, Rachel, et al., don't let this slide under the rug. This is big enough to still bring up today, Monday, on "Race for the White House".
