McCain challenges Democratic ***rivals*** on Iraq war

By Andy Sullivan

NORFOLK, Virginia (Reuters) - Sen. John McCain, his victory as Republican nominee for the U.S. presidency virtually assured, turned his sights on his Democratic challengers on Friday, saying they were weak on national security and their Iraq stance would hand al Qaeda a victory.

McCain's remarks, and the response from Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, pushed Iraq war policy back to center stage in the presidential race after weeks of focus on the faltering U.S. economy.

Speaking to reporters after a security round-table meeting in Norfolk, Virginia, the home of a major U.S. naval base, McCain accused Obama and Clinton of wanting to set a date for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

"I believe that would have catastrophic consequences," said the Arizona senator, a former Navy pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam. "I believe that al Qaeda would trumpet to the world that they had defeated the United States of America, and I believe that therefore they would try to follow us home."

1. And McCain accepted public financing

Which will work in our favor, since neither Hillary nor Obama accepted it and will be able to campaign while McCain will need to stay silent. I always worried about this fact with Edwards, since John accepted public financing, too.

2. McCain says it's catastrophic but I don't feel it will be for the budget.

[Thrill]

3. He also believed it was a good idea to go to war

4. And he's not up to it and will look bad on a stage with either. nt

so it's better for us if they don't have to buy a ticket.
