According to a recent Pew survey, more Americans believe McCain would be better than Obama at handling the war. Did I hear that right? Really, people? Jesus Christ. I put a lot of stock in the power of mainstream media to manipulate and propagandize, but that's just stupid. 

Anyway, today's Washington Post (yesterday's as I write this) reported that both the Obama and McCain campaigns "think the Iraq debate will work to their advantage. McCain and the Republican Party will use it to paint their likely general-election opponent as a foreign policy naif, too weak to defend the country."

The fact that any candidate would go with "stay the course" as their publicly preferred Iraq policy is just nuts at this point. Not to mention that the U.S. is the aggressor nation in this case. Surely enough people, even conservative folks, are sick of the occupation and want to pull U.S. forces out. Or is that just wishful thinking?
