McCain Bad Mouths Rumsfeld In SC.

   If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black,almost.

   Senator John McCain, still mouthing off down in South Carolina, said that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would be remembered as one of the worst Defense Secretary's ever because of the mis-management of the war in Iraq. McCain said that Rumsfeld never put enough troops on the ground in order to succeed in Iraq.

    This is another one of McCain's flip-flops as it was just in November when McCain said of Rumsfeld,"While Secretary Rumsfeld and I have had our differences, he deserves Americans' respect and gratitude for his many years of public service," as opposed to this remark today, "I think that Donald Rumsfeld will go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history.We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement — that's the kindest word I can give you — of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war."

       McCain spoke to a crowd at a Hilton Head Island retirement community so that would explain his memory loss. There were 800 McCain supporters at Hilton Head and most were no doubt lifelong GOP supporters who would never switch parties for any reason.

  Rumsfeld did many stupid things during his run but one must remember that he was doing what President Cheney, oops, Bush told him to do.

   He had no say in the troop level deployment and McCain would know this to be true.
