All Mittens had done was to suggest in an interview that it wouldn't be a bad idea if Maliki and Bush met in private to discuss an exit strategy someday. It was Hilarious seeing McCain, with a straight face state that Mittens want to leave chaos and genocide behind in Iraq and that Mittens owed an apology to the brave troops for this betrayal. Poor Mittens couldn't do anything about it either. He could only protest the McCain was bullying him unfairly.  And, the real funny part of it was that nobody believed Mittens because he is a lying weasel. This may have cost Mittens the Florida Primary and the nomination. Classic.
