Did McCain Push Rumsfeld For More Troops In Iraq? Rumsfeld’s Notes Suggest He Didn’t
Did McCain Push Rumsfeld For More Troops In Iraq? Rumsfeld’s Notes Suggest He Didn’t
Throughout his campaign, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has disguised his support for a failed strategy in Iraq by regularly railing against Donald Rumsfeld. A lengthy Washington Times article today highlighting McCain’s advocacy for more troops (calling it a “David against Goliath” battle) reveals that McCain’s push for more troops may have been more tepid than he portrays.
In an August 2003 meeting with Rumsfeld, McCain “made a very passionate case that we need to look at adding more troops,” according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). But in a note from Rumsfeld just after meeting, McCain reportedly told Rumsfeld, “the answer may not be more troops in Iraq“:
An aide to the secretary said Mr. McCain’s account is incorrect. “In November 2003, Secretary Rumsfeld and Senator McCain had one of a number of conversations that ended with the two in agreement on the need to win in Iraq,” Keith Urbahn said. “Senator McCain may prefer to characterize their meeting as a Showdown at the OK Corral, but that’s not straight talk. It’s a fairy tale.”
Mr. Rumsfeld wrote a two-sentence summary shortly after his meeting, according to his office. “I had breakfast with Senator McCain. He said, ‘The answer may not be more troops in Iraq, but the answer is not the status quo.’ I agree with him.”
On the campaign trail, McCain assails Rumsfeld as “one of the worst secretaries of defense in history.” Yesterday, however, The Jed Report unearthed a 2001 Larry King interview with McCain saying he would have hired Rumsfeld had he been elected President in 2000. McCain said Bush assembled the “strongest” national security team in history. Watch it:
“Oh yes, and Cheney,” he added gleefully, saying that he told Dick Cheney at the time, “If I had been elected President, you’d have been my nominee for Vice President.” “Hell, yeah,” McCain told Stephen Hayes about Cheney serving in a future McCain administration. But in 2007, McCain said Bush was “very badly served” by Cheney.
As ThinkProgress has documented, McCain continued to try to have it both ways despite criticizing Rumsfeld, stating in 2005, “we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course.”

Sooo….just about everything McSame has ever said he has at some point said just the opposite of what he said….

August 21st, 2008 at 7:19 pmStraight Talk™ from The Maverick™
August 21st, 2008 at 7:26 pmwha– you mean– are you saying mccain misrepresented his record? can’t be.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:31 pmi still think the whole right-wing scheme is to make *everyone* distrust *all* media and just decide that it’s all way too complicated for us to figure out.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:32 pmMcCain: “It should be a known known, my friends, that I completely respect and agreedge, uh, agree with Ronald Dumsfeld except on those unknown knowns where I am, uh, you know, the known maverick and I disagree with his positions.”
August 21st, 2008 at 7:39 pmIt must be McCain’s strategy to simply say everything at some point in time. That way, he can quote himself in a positive way in any situation – and not be lying (in his own mind), because he’s said everything. It’s so brilliant. He’s not a “flip-flopper” – he’s just “omni-sprech-ent” or some such thing.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:41 pmOn this I tend to beleive Rummi . . . Over 70% think this country is headed in the WRONG direction, yet McCain continues to hold almost parity in polling . . . in-spite of his RECORD of support Bush Policies and continuing to blather bullshit . . . AHA-FRICKN-MAIZ-ZING!!! I’m not an Obama fan but would it would take an afternoon of “harmless frat boy” waterboarding for THIS Vet to vote McCain . . . .
August 21st, 2008 at 7:41 pmMcCain is plain scary. Every day he dismisses what he said earlier and what is on the written and video record. The man can not be believed We can not have such a flip-flopper, a liar as the head of state. His every instruction would be countermanded by himself. Scary, plain scary.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:44 pmOnce again. Distancing himself from himself.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:51 pmMcCain and Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney have all been in bed together about this Iraq debacle since Day One.
O/T: How about Michelle Obama for VP? Now that would be a surprise…
August 21st, 2008 at 7:55 pmShe’s very smart and very articulate, what more could we want in a VP?
McCain said Bush assembled the “strongest” national security team in history.
Which is why we were so safe on September 11, 2001. With the strongest national security team in history, what could possibly go wrong?
:P
August 21st, 2008 at 8:00 pmMcStain’s daily comments remind me of watching a child play “musical chairs”.
Whatever chair he lands on when the music stops is the position he takes, until the music begins and goes ’round again.
Whatever it takes to win! Historical facts never get in the way of McStain’s recollections of his greatness and precient predictions.

August 21st, 2008 at 8:08 pmMcInsane doesn’t even know how many houses he has.. how are we to expect he would remember anything about troops?

So good luck indeed.

good evening had enough :)
Your post reminded me of Americablog. “You see, the McCain campaign explained to the Washington Post today, McCain was a POW. It’s not entirely clear why that’s relevant to a discussion of McCain owning 7 or 8 or 9 homes, and not being able to remember exactly how many homes he owns, but it apparently doesn’t matter. Because McCain was a POW. Did everybody get that?”
I was ROTFL at that one. The same John McCain that “warned Kerry not to overuse the Hero thing.”
August 21st, 2008 at 8:31 pmInteresting. That sounds like they’re saying that the lingering damage from Mccain’s POW stint affects his mental faculties.
Are we sure we want someone like that in the Oval Office?
August 21st, 2008 at 8:37 pmMcCain’s SURGE in owning homes is winning the war on Terra. We know where they are. They are some south and west of Phoenix. He’s also surging with lobbyists, oil, corrupt governments wanting to cash in, various other corporate interests. Collaborator indeed.

You remind of yet another “numbers problem.” It was not long ago that McStain claimed that we were already down below pre-surge troop levels in Iraq.
Were I overseas under President McStain, I’d be very worry that I’d be left behind because he forgot to count me!

August 21st, 2008 at 8:49 pmGlad you have some humor. I’m starting to kinda like you, a little. Don’t get excited though. Seriously, what’s the point if this thread. McCain has always said be values victory in Iraq over victor of his presidency. TO is so horribly negative lately. Do you think McCain has a chance? American voters still wanna be #1 nomatter how hard the left tries to invest on defeat. What’s your take?
Maybe it isn’t global warming.
Maybe it’s all the mccain flip flops messing with the earth’s balance.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:50 pm“My take”, TK, is that most of America doesn’t see the desire to get our troops out of a place they never should been placed as “investing in defeat”. That’s lame partisan word games with no relation to reality.
While many people are prone to simplistic jingoism like “We’re no. 1!” Americans overwhelmingly reject the economics and incompetence of Bush, the result of policies that McCain promises to continue.
The point of the thread is that the McCain narrative, the “mavericky won’t-take-no” Surge™ proponent, is as flimsy as the rest of his public record, and he should be forced to own up to it.
But I do agree with you that Terrell Owns is horribly negative.
Thanks for asking.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:59 pmbozo
August 21st, 2008 at 9:03 pmDon’t worry yourself. McCain and Obama hardly differ on global warming. Either way we’ll likely have the same environmental approach. Wrt drilling, sure McCain is more progressive and responsive to voters, but he’s flirting with friggin Lieberman for vp for effs sake. Relax, enjoy. McCain us gonna be a “maverick”. It should be refreshing unless you’re a hard core partisan dope-on-rope. You’re not one of those guys, are you?
Please if there is a god don’t visit another lying piece of shit on the the American people
August 21st, 2008 at 9:06 pmNow that is cute. TK trying to paint McSame as a “progressive” so us real progressives shouldn’t be worried.
It really is like a puppy thinking he can drag a sofa by chewing its leg. Unfortunately for you, TK we actually pay attention.

Exactly, we are talking about a man that can’t remember what he said yesterday. If this is not a Very Big Problem I don’t know what is!!!
I read in another blog Ralph that the people around him are trying to get him to comment less to reporters. Less damage control that way.
His people are getting a “little thin-skinned.” “McCain’s spokesman used the word “fricking”. Of course, even more interesting was how McCain’s spokesman declared, quite Scarlett O’Hara-like, that asking John McCain why he can’t recall how many houses he owns is just the worst, most personal attack, ever asked of a presidential candidate in all of recorded history.”
That comment says it all, John did an awesome job on that one.
August 21st, 2008 at 9:32 pmUntil he needs them to get elected president…
Witness his rejection of the religious right as “agents of intolerance” until it suddenly dawned on him that, “hey, if I wanna be president, I need these guys”. Then he decided maybe it would be a good idea to accept a speaking engagement at the Agent of Intolerance’s university.
When has he ever embraced the “hard left”? When has he ever done anything BUT “reject the hard left”? How much cojones does it take for right-wing Republican to “reject the hard left”?

August 21st, 2008 at 10:05 pmtk, no one has to try and confuse you, it’s your natural state of being. You just can’t bring yourself to admit that mccain is a liar and a cheat and a dottering old fool who doesn’t know how many houses he owns.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:08 pm“Reject the hard right”? Sorry. Flippy McSpin’s entire career has consisted of claiming to oppose the Reich, then he either votes in lockstep or simply doesn’t show up. I would define that as lying to his constituents, the press and the American people. Unless they know that he will support any Reichwing proposal, as his voting record proves.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:09 pmAnd this story is being broadcast on which MSM channel? I actually saw a story on my local news about his owning houses problem. I almost fell over!!! Maybe there’s hope.
Good evening FR! ;D You are son right on questioning his mental competence. Just like the racial undertones with Obama (you know he’s black) there is also water cooler talk about lingering damage caused by POW torture. We’ll see if it gets the same attention as Obama’s racial problems. People, though, are TERRIFIED to take on McInsane’s military service, This, though, is a real issue with real consequences.

Break away from the hard right? Like refusing to say the same enhanced techniques that were used on him as a POW are torture?
That kind of breakaway?
August 21st, 2008 at 10:19 pmralph, my funny missinformed friend. McCain in fact embraced the hard left when he teamed with Teddy Kenedy on that “shamnesty” bill. Remember? Well Obama has yet to do anything but regurgitate left wing talking points. Understand yet ?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Good one, TK!
(ralph wipes tears from his eyes)
By the way, TK, one of the criticisms I heard from those with short attention spans about Obama’s performance at Saddleback was that his answers were too long and involved. Too thoughtful. Too nuanced.
I thought “talking points” were supposed to be snappy. Y’know, like, “Drill here! Drill now! Or “Life begins at conception!”
Like that.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:36 pmaww, what’s wrong dribbledick? you sound more scared than usual lately, desperate even
are you still wetting the bed over cave dwelling criminals that your boy bush elevated to holy warriors in order to terrify you into supporting them?
August 21st, 2008 at 10:41 pmI would make one simple change to this quote attributed to McCain: “McCain said Bush assembled the “strongest” national security team in history.”
Change the “o” to an “a” in “strongest,” and McCain would have actually been making a lucid, insightful observation about the most corrupt and incompetent Republican administration in American history.
So, Bush assembled the STRANGEST national security team in history, packed with neo-con Fascist Fools, hell-bent on setting up a right-wing police state in the U.S., while bullying nations around the world, starting a war in Iraq based completely on lies, that has gotten tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers either killed or severely injured, caused over a million deaths of Iraqis, with who knows how many Iraqis being severely injured, and caused countless Iraqis being displaced either internally in Iraq or completely fleeing the country.
Of course, “strongest” could refer to the putrid odor of Bush’s national security team, such a foul odor that people have been gagging and gasping for breath for the past eight years.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:41 pmRefresh my memory again, my friends, how many US citizens did Saddam Hussein and other Iraqis kill on US soil on 9-11? McCain can rail against Rumsfeld all he wants, Iraq is a monumental Republican failure that is the crowning legacy of Bush’s failed Presidency. A vote for McCain is a vote for more Republican failures.

I found something today you will like, this is great news. Emily’s List on the findings of an extensive poll taken of women across several generations in the United States.
Only 16% of women said that McCain is an inspirational person who gives them hope for the future.
The majority of women have caught on, I figure the 16% who are for him are Pro-Life. That is the only reason left for them to vote for McCain.

I never said Obama had “a dismal, pathetic performance at saddleback”. I said he gave thoughtful, nuanced answers, which is in direct contradiction to your claim that all he ’s done is “regurgitate left wing talking points”.
I understand your difficulty in getting this. I didn’t spell it out for you.
See, I’m used to communicating with adults, who understand the dynamics of conversation and reading comprehension. Most people I converse with don’t need things spelled out for them. In fact, they would find it a little bit insulting, as if I were insinuating that they weren’t very intelligent.

* Corsi on Islam: “a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion”
* Corsi on Catholicism: “Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press”
* Corsi on Muslims: “RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters — it all goes together”
* Corsi on “John F*ing Commie Kerry”: “After he married TerRAHsa, didn’t John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?”
* Corsi on Senator “FAT HOG” Clinton: “Anybody ask why HELLary couldn’t keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?”
but apparently if you’re right-wing and you apologize for your racist writings but go onto a racist radio show after you apologize, you’re not racist. If you’re a Democrat who has tried to apologize, you’re still racist because we all know it’s only the Democrats who are racist…
I love how you endorse this guy, What a lovely piece of artwork he is…and since y’all on the right love to use guilt by association against us liberals, then it’s only fair that we do the same to you, right?
Perhaps it isn’t fair, perhaps you have never endorsed his racist views, or perhaps you don’t know about them. In that case, please read about him…

Then perhaps for the good of the country and to help McCain actually stick to his word for once, McCain should step aside and hand the Presidency to Obama. Since noone in charge can define what victory would be I would describe it as leaving on good terms with the Iraqi gov’t. They endorse timelines and the kind of plan that Obama has proposed and McCain doesn’t know what to do or how long to do it. So stick to your word for once Johnny and sacrifice your presidential ambitions for the good of Iraq and America, head off into the sunset and go Cheney youself you dellusional fool.

Are you sure you don’t mean Obama’s father stays the course on polygamy? Because he was basically a drunken bigot polygamist. Its all in the book. I’m quite sure I know more about your “chosen one” candidate than you do.
