John McCain's Iraq "solution" is a farce

OK, so maybe this isn't headline news.

But as Robert Reich points out, the Arizona Senator and likely GOP Presidential candidate for 2008 really doesn't have the slightest idea as to how to realistically address the Iraq quagmire, as evidenced by his nonsensical theory that somehow adding more US troops to the theater will magically improve the occupation's efficacy. If this is the best the GOP can do in fielding candidates who offer realistic foreign policy ideas, their party may in bigger trouble in the next presidential election than most observers recognize.

And as Matthew Yglesias notes, it truly is the height of absurdity to suggest either McCain, or Lieberman for that matter, represents the ideological "center" of their respective party.
