John McCain is Sorta Nuts

Less than a week after dems take over, largely on the strength of the war issue, McCain is advocating raising troop levels in Iraq. And he's running for president.

SEN. McCAIN:I believe that there are a lot of things that we can do to salvage this, but they all require the presence of additional troops...
MR. RUSSERT: But John McCain is suggesting we get deeper into Iraq, send more troops; the American public is on the side of getting out. Look at this from our exit polls. Send more troops, 18 percent of the American people, 23 percent say maintain current level, 28 say withdraw some, 31 percent say withdraw all. Eighty-two percent have a different position than McCain. How can you go to the country after these elections and say, “Send more troops to Iraq”?

SEN. McCAIN: I can only do what I think is best for these young men and women who are in the military. To do otherwise would be immoral and dishonorable.

Seriously? I appreciate a man with principles, but isn't this just suicidal?
