As I remember it, Reagan folks interferred with the release of the hostages in Iran to delay it till after Carter.

I’m sure those hostages were more than happy to spend a few extra months in their resort location to help the Gipper.

The Cheney-Bush cabal despised negotiation preferring bullying to the point of surrender. In their waning days they began to see the gross error of the teir insane ideological approach. To continue these errors for their bungling would-be successor underscores their moral bankruptcy!

We already know how McCain feels about Iran, anyway.

Just more evidence of Republicans putting party before country while questioning others patriotism. Some freaking nerve.

Seven years in the CorporaWhorehouse showcased Bush’s ability to use his power for Republican political gain. McCain’s only thread of credibility comes from his military background.

Bush has to drive that criteria above America’s Wall Street meltdown, now infecting the world’s economy. If Bush is a political hack, expect an attack on Iran prior to the election. If it comes afterwards, that’s Bush’s pathology, otherwise known as a Yale late night RISK game.

Bush should have continued with his plans. Not only would it be something positive about his legacy (and there ain’t much he can point to with pride), but it would give “the maverick” something specific he could point to where he differs from Bush (an area that’s sadly lacking, for all of McCain’s bluster about “change” and “reform”).

Since everything bush touches turns to sht and since most voters don’t agree with the current situation or have confidence in the future, McCain should be pleading with bush to not do anything to try to help. That’s what he would do if he was a smart man.

It’d make a great sacrifice fly from bush to keep the thing going. JM could then say he’s against doing that and therefore move away from bush. That would require self-sacrifice from bush and that ain’t gonna happen.

Did Bush kill the plan to avoid hurting McCain’s campaign?

…as if trashing the economy, eroding civil liberties, ignoring natural disasters and getting our military mired in two foreign occupations isn’t enough to hurt McCain’s campaign?

“Did Bush kill the plan to avoid hurting McCain’s campaign?”
YES! Lest we forget that it was Scott McLellan who shined the light on this Administration’s strategy of running a continuous campaign for the Republican Party. In lieu of attempting to do what is right for America our boy king asks only what he can do for his party.
