Kiss Rummy buh bye. Oh, and by the way, how's that draft coming along? As for linguists, I'm sorry, but BUSH KICKED THEM ALL OUT FOR BEING GAY. I guess it was more important to bash the fags than win the war on terror.

You voted for it, America. You got it.

Asked about his confidence in the secretary's leadership, McCain recalled fielding a similar question a couple weeks ago.

"I said no. My answer is still no. No confidence," McCain said.

He estimated an additional 80,000 Army personnel and 20,000 to 30,000 more Marines would be needed to secure Iraq.

"I have strenuously argued for larger troop numbers in Iraq, including the right kind of troops — linguists, special forces, civil affairs, etc.," said McCain, R-Ariz. "There are very strong differences of opinion between myself and Secretary Rumsfeld on that issue."
