McCain vs. Romney on Iraq

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 30 --

The Iraq war again emerged as a flash point between Sen. John McCain
(Ariz.) and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in a debate
Wednesday, after McCain accused Romney of supporting timetables for
withdrawing U.S. troops from the battlefield.

In their final presidential debate before Republicans in 21 states
vote Tuesday, McCain repeated a line of attack that helped propel him
to victory in Florida's primary and he questioned Romney's foreign
policy judgment, prompting an angry rebuttal from the former governor
about McCain's use of misleading statements and "dirty tricks."

Romney insisted that he has "never, ever" backed a timetable for
withdrawal, prompting McCain to shoot back, "Of course he supported a
timetable."

Romney called McCain's attacks "reprehensible" and said they amounted
to "an attempt to do the Washington-style old politics."

McCain also fell back on his old war hero in response to why each of
them thought they would be fit for president (something like that) and
he went into his ...here I am... I have suffered... It was a turn-off.
Romney won the debate, but McCain will get the credit. ... By the way...
what religion is McCain? Religion seems to be a big part of this race
for president. What is the religion of every candidate?

McCain- apparently born (and baptised? an Episcopalion, but has been
attending a Baptist Church (sporadically?) It's not clear if he has
been dunked. Toci
