Memo to McCain: It’s your war

Jarrett

McCain's gone on the predictable offensive of painting Obama as a naive, pacifist, yellow-bellied, "Iran appeaser." Josh Marshall's got it right that Obama must stay on the offensive and repeatedly perform verbal jiu-jitsu as these attacks keep coming - turn this fear-mongering crap on its head with simple statements like this: "Hey, Mac, your war strengthened Iran." One other thing: Iraq is now McCain's war. He supports it 100%, Bush is almost done, it's his. McCain's War. Repeat, ad nauseum.
