It struck me that in questioning Gen. Petraeus Sen. McCain was giving off the sober, down to business, vibe--asking pointed questions about the disappointment in Basra and violence in the Green Zone--rather than fawning over him. It gave off the impression that though he may be a strong supporter of the war, McCain is still serious about getting things right and won't be engaging in cheerleading.
