THERE IS NO REASON TO TRUST McCAIN ON WAR

or just about anything else, really, but he will try to portray himself as a fine "war president," so it's good to look at how well he's done in the last few years. Thanx to Jon Perr at Perrspectives, we have a superb collection of McCain statements that shows he is wrong far more often than not.

Here are some highlights:

"But the fact is, I think we could go in with much smaller numbers than we had to do in the past. But any military man worth his salt is going to have to prepare for any contingency, but I don't believe it's going to be nearly the size and scope that it was in 1991." John McCain, September 15, 2002.


"I remain confident that we will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." John McCain, June 11, 2003.

"I'm confident we're on the right course." John McCain, March 7, 2004.
