McCain: "I can't think of a fallback 'Plan B' if our Iraq strategy fails."
WASHINGTON, April 13 — Senator John McCain said that the buildup of American forces in Iraq represented the only viable option to avoid failure in Iraq and that he had yet to identify an effective fallback if the current strategy failed.

“I have no Plan B,” Mr. McCain said in an interview. “If I saw that doomsday scenario evolving, then I would try to come up with one. But I cannot give you a good alternative because if I had a good alternative, maybe we could consider it now.”...

“I am not guaranteeing that this succeeds,” said Mr. McCain, who has long argued that additional troops were needed. “I am just saying that I think it can. I believe it has a good shot.”

3. What an amazing thinker. Can't think of any alternatives? Holy crapoli.
And to think I used to like this guy.

Does the v-chip have a setting to block specific people? Man, I hope so.

5. "If I don't catch any fish, there just won't be any dinner."
"I'm betting the farm, the acreage, the tools, the tractor, and Aunt Louise on certain victory in the Lottery."

"I doubt if I could find the left side of my own ass with a 3-way mirror and a spotlight."

VOTE JOHN McCAIN in the Republican Primary.
