McCain Stresses Support for Iraq Mission

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Sen. John McCain said Friday he supports the U.S. mission in Iraq days after faulting the Bush administration for misleading Americans into believing it would be "some kind of day at the beach."

The potential 2008 presidential candidate and staunch war supporter issued a statement explaining his position after his headline-grabbing comments criticizing the Bush administration.

"I have never intended my concern that the American people be fully informed about the conduct and consequences of the war to indicate any lessening of my support for our mission there," McCain said in the statement.

He complained in an appearance Tuesday about major mistakes by the administration, such as underestimating the size of the task and the sacrifices necessary. The comment prompted criticism from the right and left that McCain was flip-flopping, contradicting his backing for Bush's policy.

4. As a war criminal, monster McCain should be expected to lie

and to continue to support mass murder. That was his job in Vietnam, and he seems to think of himself as some sort of hero. Being a mass murderer, and supporting mass murder. Not hard to understand. He is as vile as Chimpy and the PNAC cowards.
