The war was conducted poorly for 4 years. He was for a surge of troops in Iraq way before the administration was.

Better to throw failed policies under the bus than throw the troops and the entire war effort under the bus.
Remember the Surge that is now winning the war?
Up until Rumsfeld was fired, the Surge was opposed by Rumsfeld and Rumsfeld was backed up by Bush.
Except for Cheney, almost nobody in either the White House or Congress supported McCain's efforts to enact a Surge strategy. Thus, for four years, a "terribly frustrating", No-Win war was fought to the detriment of our troops, the morale of the Home Front and the entire war effort.
The Democrats take it as given that the Iraq War is lost and that is why success in Iraq is treated with silence by the liberal media. To win the war, McCain now has to educate the American Sheeple that the war is now being WON and that that is because his policies are NOT a third Bush term with the failed war strategy that was followed up until December of 2006 when McCain's Surge strategy was adopted and Rumsfeld was given his walking papers.
