FLIP FLOP ALERT, MOTHER OF ALL FLOPS!”

Unbelievable!  McCain endorses 16 month withdrawal plan.  A week ago, he said: “Obama is absolutely wrong about the withdrawal.”  Is John McCain going to endorse Senator Barack Obama for President? Is this how he stays on message? If this is yet another “Senior Moment;” can anyone really believe that John McCain has the judgment or temperament to be President.

McCain: A ‘Pretty Good Timetable’

By: Michael Cooper, New York Times, July 25th 2008

First the Iraqi government gave Senator Barack Obama a boost by seeming to embrace his proposal for a 16-month timetable for withdrawing American troops from Iraq. But could Senator John McCain, who built his candidacy in large part on his opposition to a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, possibly be following suit?

“I think it’s a pretty good timetable,” Mr. McCain said Friday in an interview on CNN’s “The Situation Room,’’ before adding that it should be based “on the conditions on the ground.’’

For months Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, has railed against setting timetables for withdrawing from Iraq, and has criticized Mr. Obama, his Democratic rival, for suggesting one. But in recent days the debate has shifted as Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, moved closer to Mr. Obama’s position.

It is quite likely that this is another Senior Moment for John, but this is rather unbelievable even for a Republican nominee to change his mind about an issue as large as the Iraq war with no forewarning.  Only seven hours ago, he accused Senator Obama of choosing failure in Iraq.  Click here to read an interview with CBS News.
