Economist in 2002: John McCain "Laid the Groundwork" for George Bush's
Post 9-11 Foreign Policy
by Max Bergmann
In a shocking article from the Economist in March 2002, John McCain is
described as having George Bush's foreign policy before George Bush
had it.
The article, by the Economist's Lexington columnist, is titled "George
Bush: McCainiac - How the president has almost become the man he
trounced in the primaries,"
http://www.economist.com/world/na/displaystory.cfm?story_id=E1_TDVSNRS
confirms the progressive argument that John McCain's foreign policy is
no different then George Bush's.
The article, written more six years ago, and meant as praise at the
time, says "It is almost as if the Arizona senator had won the
election," saying that "Despite his defeat, he [MCCAIN] laid much of
the groundwork for Mr Bush's post-September presidency."
The article concludes that the great irony is that "Mr Bush has proved
a better spokesman for McCainiac ideas than Mr McCain could ever have
been."
