VIDEO: Abizaid Smacks Down McCain’s Plan To Send More U.S. Troops To Iraq

thinkprogress.org — Today at a Senate hearing, Gen. John Abizaid rejected McCain’s calls for more troops in Iraq, saying that he “met with every divisional commander, Gen. Casey, the core commander, Gen. Dempsey” and asked them if bringing “in more American troops now, [would] add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq and they all said 'no.'" [VIDEO]

At that time he will come out and say, "If you had listened to me and put in more troops, we wouldn't be in this mess". He'll do this knowing full well that we don't have the troops to send and that they wouldn't help the situation/or could make it worse. McCain has gone from a straight shooter to just another politician who will say and do anything to get elected in '08, including play politics with the lives of our troops and the people of Iraq.
