Perhaps more promising was Bush's call to quintuple U.S. production of biofuels such as corn ethanol by 2017. The proposal is solid--to a point.

Certainly his immediate dismissal of the Iraq Study Group report could be called into question. There are opinion pieces critical of Senator McCain that are well written and well researched. This opinion piece is neither...
