MSNBC:
As the Iraq Study Group issued its long-awaited report on the war, declaring that the United States should not dispatch more troops, Sen. John McCain reacted with his long-held and contrary view: It will take more boots on the ground, or the nation faces "sooner or later, our defeat in Iraq."

First off, let me thank Kavon for giving me a chance to write for this wonderful site. I like to think of Race for 2008 as a microcosm of sorts of the Republican Party in general. We each have our preferred candidates and political outlooks, but we all share the common goal of seeing Republican [...]

The Prince of Darkness, while acknowledging the Newsweek Poll’s notorious over-sampling of Democrats, takes note of McCain’s punctured aura of inevitability — but also discusses the continued shortcomings of the Senator’s chief challengers:
The big edge in the Newsweek poll of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is disconcerting to Republicans who have come to [...]

Powell explains that the "last surge" we had was a complete failure, so he's not persuaded a "surge" is going to work without some kind of mission. I beg to differ.
