Week # 5, Item # 4: "Small Politics"

Back in April when the presidential candidates had been confirmed, Senator John McCain had accused the democratic party of playing "small politics" when it came to the Iraq War.

Senator McCain had stated that if we withdraw from Iraq, and Middle East it can lead to another 9/11 attack because of the clumsiness of leaving so fast without change. Senator McCain had portrayed the two parties as the following: Democrats as acting out of political opportunism — and Republicans as acting on principle. Simply saying that democrats are using their ways to wait for the opportunities and Republicans go by what is happening now! (found in the debate over Iraq War)

The idea that Americans were the ones who entered Iraq, so Americans are the the main enemy so Americans are the target. So leaving without fixing things would leave a bad impression on America. McCain just wants to stop the war but fix the problems that Americans had started.
