John McCain - belief or ambition?

In an op-ed in the New York Times. Wednesday, 12 March 2003, John McCaim wrote a fervid defense of the administration's war on Iraq policy. He explains why he agrees, and why he thinks it's right.

He's been out of the limelight for a while now, and it's been obvious that the Democrat's momentary love affair with him is over. The Republicans have been a little reluctant about him, too.

So, I wonder, is this altogether a true belief, or a way of coming back into the spotlight. I prefer to think it's a belief, but something about it doesn't ring right to me, and he is ambitious.

There's a lot about McCain that appealed to me ... but I think his viability as a candidate for the big office is shot. I suppose any politician might be considered ambitious, but The Senator, at least to me, just don't pack the gear when it comes time to move out. I think his statement was sincere, and I agree with much of it. I don't really think it was an attempt to gain exposure, I think it was a statement of conscience. That's one of McCain's shortcomings for the job ... he has a conscience.

I agree, timber. McCain's values and beliefs, his need to be his own man and not sacrifice his integrity, speaks to his lack of ambition to compromise the above in the political arena. I understand both sides of that fence.
