And whatever he says at the time, it won't be what he's asking for now. McCain, et al recognize that if the US stoops to Bush's level, we will have lost any remaining semblance of respect from the civilized world.

I hadn't watched The McLauglin shout-extravaganza (PBS) much
Hardly at all ~ past 2 years; who wants to see manic interruptions in lieu of subject/predicate? Lately, initially by er, dial-accident - I've caught a couple.. now more often, as the bombastic McL hisself appears to have undrunk the Kool-Aid.
Tonight's spectacle saw him using the diamond ram and anvil in megaton press, simple declarative sentences - bluntly addressing the world-wide-fact that the US has blown, now every semblance of moral suasion it once possessed. (Every time Shrub 'explains' something... well, you know.)
He's even got Buchanan and the regular weird-Hawkish ones stumbling all-over in Gonzalesian bafflegab ... culminating in excruciating concession.
Lovely skit, by comparison with all previous rah-rahs for Victory-at-any-Cost. But as ever, unspeakably Sad.. to be unavoidably associated-with these lunatics, by mere accident of one's geographic birth.
