McCain and Crew, Torpedo Inbound!!


Some have started to call McCain, Grahem and Warner, “McCain’s Navy” in reference to the 1960’s television series “McHale’s Navy.”

Well, it looks like the wacky crew of PT-73 is about to take a torpedo:

    Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist signaled yesterday that he and other White House allies will filibuster a bill dealing with the interrogation and prosecution of detainees if they cannot persuade a rival group of Republicans to rewrite key provisions opposed by President Bush.

    Frist’s chief of staff, Eric M. Ueland, called the dissidents’ bill “dead.”

    But Frist struck a more jarring tone, telling reporters that the trio’s bill is unacceptable despite its majority support.

    For a bill to pass, Frist said, “it’s got to preserve our intelligence programs,” including the CIA’s aggressive interrogation techniques, and it must “protect classified information from terrorists.” He said that “the president’s bill achieves those two goals” but that “the Warner-McCain-Graham bill falls short.”

P.S. This development is causing a whole lot of deployed Combat Arms Officers to say, Hoooah!! I am sure non-deployed guys are saying the same thing too.
