ASSOCIATED PRESS: MIAMI — Sen. John McCain won a breakthrough triumph in the Florida primary Tuesday night, gaining the upper hand in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination ahead of next week’s contests across 21 states and lining up a quick endorsement from soon-to-be dropout Rudy Giuliani.
“I want to thank my dear friend, my dear friend Rudy Giuliani, who invested his heart and soul in this primary and who conducted himself with all the qualities of the exceptional American leaders he truly is,” McCain said.
“Thank you Rudy for all you have added to this race and being and for being an inspiration to me and millions of Americans.”
MSNBC: NBC News/National Journal has confirmed that Rudy Giuliani will endorse John McCain tomorrow in California.
HUFFINGTON POST: Sen. John McCain told a crowd of supporters on Sunday, “It’s a tough war we’re in. It’s not going to be over right away. There’s going to be other wars.” Offering more of his increasingly bleak “straight talk,” he repeated the claim: “I’m sorry to tell you, there’s going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars.”
PAT BUCHANAN: “Here’s a guy, basically, what does he say? The jobs are never coming back, the illegals are never going home, but we’re gonna have a lot more wars!”
JOE SCARBOROUGH: “We’re gonna start a lot of wars! He has promised, for the record Keith, John McCain’s platform — and it certainly looks inviting for the fall — he has promised less jobs and more wars. Now that’s something we can all rally behind.”

McCain continued on Sunday, “And right now – we’re gonna have a lot of PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder] to treat, my friends,” he said. “We’re gonna have a lot of combat wounds that have to do with these terrible explosive IEDs that inflict such severe wounds. And my friends, it’s gonna be tough, we’re gonna have a lot to do.”
It wasn’t like he ws cornered on the issue by a reporter, this is what he wants to tell his supoporters, this is his message to rally the country around. The only way you can only be so stone deaf to reality and the feelings of the public is if you’ve been bought and paid for by the defense industry.
Perhaps McCain’s call for a hundred more years in Iraq is only meant to make the Democrats frontrunners call to stay mired in the Iraq money/atrocity pit for the forseeable future look sensible. It is a comment on the sad state of our democracy that with the last NBC/WSJ poll showing only 32% of the public describing Iraq as “worth it” no leading candidate seems willing to represent the people’s will.
