It seems Senator John McCain only knows how to apply the American Military force. Now he is calling for more troops in Afghanistan, albeit less forcefully than his demand for more troops in Iraq:

Washington will send more troops to Afghanistan “if it’s necessary,” U.S. Senator John McCain said Saturday using measured words, as he urged increased training for Afghan security forces and the movement of European troops to the country’s insurgency-plagued south.

Asked if the U.S. would send more troops to Afghanistan, McCain responded, “The British have said that they will be sending additional troops, taking troops out of Iraq and into Afghanistan.

“If it’s necessary, we will, and I’m sure we would be agreeable, but the focus here is more on training the Afghan National Army and the police, as opposed to the increased U.S. troop presence.”

Where are the additional troops for the McCain-Bush Iraq and Afghanistan Plan going to come from? More guard and reserve troops kept longer from their families and jobs? Longer deployments?

Angry, unstable St. John McCain needs to re-assess what the American people want. Support for the war is in the dumps and families are being torn apart by constant redeployments.

But if he really wants to hitch his presidential horse to Bush’s Iraq debacle, it can only benefit the Democratic candidate in 2008.
