Ignoring inconsistencies, L.A. Times quoted McCain suggesting he is a consistent critic of Bush on Iraq

SUMMARY: The Los Angeles Times reported Sen. John McCain's assertion that his criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the war in Iraq "started three years ago" when, he said, he saw "that this train wreck was taking place." But while McCain has often assailed the White House's execution of the war, he has also stated that the United States is on "the right course" in Iraq, said that President Bush "has a good team around him" on national security issues, and expressed his confidence in Bush's ability to "lead the war."
