McCain's foreign-policy team is sprinkled with people, including Scheunemann, who were ardent backers of the 2003 Iraq invasion and who dismissed critics who warned of unintended consequences. They include former CIA Director James Woolsey, an adviser mostly on energy security, and William Kristol, the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard.
McCain was an early advocate of overthrowing Saddam Hussein.

A list of the national security and foreign policy advisers to the leading presidential candidates from both parties.
John McCain
Max Boot, Council on Foreign Relations editor and former Wall Street Journal editorial editor, foreign policy adviser
Robert Kagan; senior associate with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington Post columnist and former speechwriter for then-secretary of state George P. Shultz; informal foreign policy adviser
Gary Schmitt, former staff director of the Senate Intelligence Committee and now an American Enterprise Institute scholar, foreign policy adviser
On both domestic and foreign policies, McWAR will most likely follow in Fredo's footsteps. Now, what does Gallup find about the weaknesses of McWAR and Obama? (Via Thers) That McCain and Obama have both been hurt by their associations, the first with Bush, the latter with Jeremiah Wright.
Now, this is a perfect example of the GOP using the Noise Machine to play the "character" issue and distract us from the serious policy issues.
