| Description | Sen. John McCain sought to weaken support for a resolution opposing
President Bush's Iraq war strategy Sunday, saying proponents are intellectually dishonest.
On the eve of a possible congressional showdown on Iraq strategy, McCain contended the bipartisan proposal amounted to a demoralizing "vote of no confidence" in the U.S. military.
The measure criticizes Bush's plan to add 21,500 troops in Iraq yet offers no concrete alternatives, he said.
"I don't think it's appropriate to say that you disapprove of a mission and you don't want to fund it and you don't want it to go, but yet you don't take the action necessary to prevent it," said McCain, top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a 2008 presidential candidate from Arizona. |
