Bush was happy McCain was criticizing the war?

Wonder Boy??

Look, a lot of those sunny scenarios could easily be explained away if McCain so wished by just saying he was as misled as most Americans now know they were.

Hillary did it. Edwards did it. Even though I think they should have fucking known better and just went along with the war out of political cowardice and calculation at the time.

But in fact he's taken the opposite approach these past couple of years. He's wholeheartedly embraced the war even as it's been shown to have been predicated on lie upon lie. That's not to be applauded, condoned or tolerated or just allowed to pass. While all the intelligence has said one thing, he's embraced the original premise even stronger. It's really a sort of political suicide designed to appeal to die hards but will IMO turn off most everyone else who accepts the fact that we were all misled by Bush and need to get out if only to save what's left of our economy and our military.
