McCain: Blair sacrificed career for Iraq
Republican US presidential hopeful John McCain said British Prime Minister Tony Blair has sacrificed his career to support the Iraq war, and the Arizona senator acknowledged that he could face the same fate.
McCain, a staunch defender of US President George Bush’s new Iraq troop deployment strategy, said today he worries that a cutback of British troops in southern Iraq announced by Blair this week could lead to stronger control by “Iranian-backed Shiite” forces.
