McCain condems Swiftboats
Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.
"It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush.
McCain is playing a subtle game here, attacking the Bush campaign for these adds while not directly attacking the president or the party. I guessing he is setting himself up to run in 2008, and thus doesn't want to attack the party too much.
