Chris Matthews either has no understanding of McCain's policies or he is a lying jackass
Think Progress -- Matthews: ‘Maybe We Should Elect’ McCain To End The Iraq War
McCain is the one candidate who DOESN'T want to end the war. In fact, he wants to start a third war with Iran just for fun.
Seeming to argue for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq during MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, Hardball host Chris Matthews asserted that terrorists and extremists “want us to constantly rebuild and reinforce and surge” in Iraq so they can “use it as the poster boy for everything that’s wrong with the West.”
But which presidential candidate does Matthews think is best suited to end the war? Not Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) or Hillary Clinton (D-NY), both of whom have said they would end the war as president. Instead, Matthews chose Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who he said is “perhaps” a “great leader”:
MATTHEWS: I think there are ways to end it if we had a great leader perhaps, I’m not sure we have on the horizon, maybe it is McCain — to find a way — maybe we should elect a Republican in order to get us out of the war because irony seems to be a better bet than what we’ve gotten.
