McCain Calls Bush A Chickenhawk

McSame is running a new ad in battleground states today — his first of the general election — that has this pointed smackdown of the Commander Guy:

"Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war," McCain says in the ad.

Since we’ve heard nothing but "bring ‘em on," "smoke ‘em out," "dead or alive" from The Decider pretty much non-stop since 2001, we all know who the fool is.

But what’s great about this is it hits the same day McSame is simultaneously claiming that he won’t run away from Bush.

"I’m not trying to separate myself," he said. "I’m trying to point out my own record and my own plan of action to solve our housing, energy, economic and national security challenges."

Um, so, calling Bush a "fraud" isn’t trying to separate yourself from him, McSame?

More straight talk from the Maverick.

UPDATE

In case you missed it, this new bit of foolish tough talk from the Fraud-in-Chief:

"Kick ass!" he quotes the president as saying. "If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We can’t send that message. It’s an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal."

"There is a series of moments and this is one of them. Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!"
