McCain Chooses Integrity over Popularity

In so doing he may win in the long run, at least in my mind. From NewsMax:

The Arizona senator's hawkish position that the United States must do what is necessary to win the war might appeal to hard-core Republicans, but it also has the potential to turn off most Americans whose support for the nearly 4-year-old war has diminished.
"I have presidential ambitions, but they pale in comparison to what I think is most important to our nation's security. If it destroys any ambitions I may have, I'm willing to pay that price gladly," McCain said Friday, brushing aside scenarios of political fallout.

I disagree with this analysis, that most Americans want to leave Iraq to its fate, as this CNN Poll ( scroll down) also reveals.
