Against the Timetable Before He Was For It

By Sniffles

Republican strategists like to paint their Democratic opponents as unreliable flip-floppers whose judgment we cannot trust. But maybe they should take a look at their own presumptive nominee for President before they try that again this year.

Here's what John McCain said just two and a half weeks ago about a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq:

“And since we are succeeding and then I am convinced, as I have said before, we can withdraw and withdraw with honor, not according to a set timetable."

Here's what he's saying, now that Prime Minister Al-Maliki has endorsed Senator Obama's call for a 16-month phased withdrawal:

“I think it’s a pretty good timetable.”

Gee, Senator McCain sure changes his mind a lot. He seems like an unreliable flip-flopper whose judgment we cannot trust. HISS!
