Of course McCain, along with the two Democrats, is in the pocket of the Israel Lobby. They and Bush have given us a war we had better learn to love because there is no quick way to end it and get out of Iraq.
The one hope is that McCain, as he is publicly distancing himself from Bush on a variety of issues, will also come to see the folly of our Iraq war. That doesn't mean we can get out quickly but it might mean he will stiff arm the Israel Lobby a bit better than the other candidates would have -- certainly better than Bush who has collaborated with the worst Likud elements in Israel's government.
