MCCAIN: For Some, There Is No Difference Between 'Opponent' And 'Critic'

Outside the Beltway's James Joyner notes liberalbloggerskepticism about John McCain embracing an 'Iraq war critic' label and blogs: "But McCain isn't casting himself as an opponent of the war but rather as a critic of the way it has been carried out. In that regard, his credentials are rather strong." Joyner goes on to link to fifteen articles quoting McCain bashing Pres. Bush's handling of the war starting in 11/6/03 and running through 2/20/07.
