It’s A Secret!

Rusty Houser likes McCain’s stance on the war; when I ask him why we are in Iraq in the first place, he tells me, “To get rid of Al Qaeda.” When I point out that Bush himself has admitted there was no connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda, Houser shrugs. Bush, he assures me, “doesn’t always let people know what he knows.” ~Matt Taibbi

If some people want to talk about “nutty” candidates and their followers, they could do worse than to read some of the comments from McCain’s people.
