This is from the Washington Post, but they're McCain's own words two weeks ago:

"I had the courage and the judgment to say that I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war.It seems to me that Senator Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign."

"When I took the position that we needed to have 30,000 additional troops over there, those numbers were a lot worse than the ones you cite, because my first obligation is my country, not my political ambitions. That's my first obligation."
