Agreed. Rudi has stated time and time again that he supports the war and feels Dubya's plan in Iraq deserves time to work. McCain's latest blasts may help him get a little separation away from Rudi who is undoubtedly one of the tougher (if not the toughest) opponent to face in the primaries. McCain's comments were smart b/c he targetted folks who are no longer running the war. If the war turns around, he hasn't opened himself up to critics b/c he's not attacking the current war effort. I'm not a huge McCain fan, but I think this was a very good move on his part.
