Not saying you're wrong, just that I never got that sense from him, or heard any reason to think so. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #249,714 by boxley 3/28/06 7:58:30 PM Reply	need to keep up with your reading :-) [link\|http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8221\|http://www.antiwar.c...n/?articleid=8221] McCain's record is so consistent on this point that it's hard to see how someone could miss it. He is not only fervent in his support for the war and massive intervention in the Middle East, but he supported each and every one of Bill Clinton's wars, back when Republican members of Congress were coming off like peaceniks. While the Republican caucus was overtly hostile to President Clinton's war aims in Kosovo and Bosnia, and tried to cut off the funds for that little expedition, McCain cheered and called for "more boots on the ground" as the Clintonites bombed some of the oldest cities in Europe. Indeed, if you Google "more boots on the ground" along with McCain's name, the list of hits numbers somewhere around 700. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep

I've always gotten the feeling from him that he's against starting wars, but in favor of fighting those wars we are already in -- or can't avoid -- with all available force. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
