McCain was not getting the answers he wanted from P&C. Interesting.

Any "volunteers" to "step in" in place of Al-Malarki? He's a luminescent target like Karzai and Mubarak. Give the guy a break!

This exchange is classic. I'm putting it on my facebook page.

anyone else wonder why mccain will never be president? The instinct to kill is essential -- bush through rove had it in spaces. This wimp publically lets a babble like that go by, even if it's babble he approves of, he shows himself as weak and a wimp.
hang it up john, you just flushed it.

And McCain let Crocker get away with such an evasive answer? Is that how he would manage his diplomats as President?
