Another Display of Senator Voinovich's Idiocy

Senator Voinovich continues to embarass Ohio voters with his failure to grasp the issue of terrorism. If we are to belive our "esteemed" Senator, Al-Qaida forces must have hitched a ride to Iraq with the U.S. military!

Sens. McCain, Voinovich Brawl Over Iraq

In what one witness called "the most serious fight that I have ever seen in my time in the Senate,” John McCain got into a behind-closed-doors clash with fellow Republican Sen. George Voinovich over the Iraq war.

What touched off the verbal brawl was a comment by presidential hopeful McCain – who has just returned from a trip to Iraq – that the most dangerous threat facing U.S. troops there was al-Qaida.

Voinovich shot back that al-Qaida "wouldn’t be in Iraq” if U.S. forces weren’t there, witnesses to the exchange told The Politico.

Voinovich, a second-term senator from Ohio, recently urged President Bush to take immediate steps to change his Iraq war policy. But McCain remains firmly supportive of maintaining high troop levels in Iraq. He declared on the Senate floor Tuesday that setting a firm date for troop withdrawal would "embolden radical Islamists,” and said he saw "progress” in Iraq due to the "surge” of American troops there.
