"The Democratic front-runner wants to have it both ways when it comes to foreign policy. On the one hand, the New York senator voted for the Iraq War. On the other hand, she now opposes it — sort of," McCain says in the prepared remarks.

"On the one hand, she wants a firm deadline for retreat. But, on the other hand, she says we cannot abandon the nation to Iran's designs," the speech says.

It continues, "Senator Clinton, this is not the '90s. This is the post-September 11 world. The commander in chief does not enjoy the luxury to conduct our national security by means of triangulation."

The Clinton campaign said the two senators, both members of the Armed Services Committee, "have an honest disagreement on the war." "Senator McCain is the Senate's biggest supporter of President Bush's escalation there. Senator Clinton wants to end the war and when she is president she will," Zac Wright, Clinton's South Carolina spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement.

Either this is desperation on McCain's part, or McCain knows he done and is doing the RNC's bidding and going after the front-runner.

1. McCain is toast and he knows it.

But that doesn't mean that he's incapable of calling a spade a spade.

4. I never understood why the term "hero" is

attributed to McCain. What did he do to deserve this status? For as I know he was a POW and that in and of itself is bad, and I mean bad, but the other POW's that were there with McCain why are they not considered heroes too? I would think that McCain was more into self-preservation then doing anything heroic.
