Although Senator John McCain does back the war in Iraq, he has openly criticized how President Bush has handled the war. And he once again made his position very clear on the Dave Letterman show, saying that lives were being wasted in Iraq. He made the statement moments after he announced his plans to run in the 2008 presidential elections.

McCain, who repeated his assertion that U.S. troops must remain in Iraq rather than withdrawing early, made the "wasted" remark after confirming to Letterman what has been clear for at least a year or more — that he's in the running for the 2008 Republican nomination.
