McCain blasts 'vote of no confidence'

Does McCain really believe that sending 21,500 more troops to Iraq is going to fix anything? Or is he just lining up behind President Bush because he has his eye on the primaries? McCain also stands behind spending $145 billion dollars on the war in 2008. Luckily, not all Republicans feel this way. Sen Chuck Hagel of Nebraska (also considering a Presidential run in 2008) has openly refered to the problem in Iraq as a Civil War. Frankly, I think that the tagline of "support our troops" is just a way to drum up votes and false patriotism. If we really wanted to support them, we should bring them home.
