McCain and the N Y Times 

McCain sent an op-ed piece to the New York Times. Obama had one last 
week, so it was hardly surprising. The Times rejected McCain's editorial 
demanding that  

"the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain 
defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving 
victory -- with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis 
to cooperate.
"And it would need to describe the senator’s Afghanistan strategy, spelling out 
how it meshes with his Iraq plan."

Astonishing. All this before the mighty New York Time will accept an op-ed 
piece by the nominee of the Republican Party. Which tells us pretty well all we 
need to know about where the Times stands on the election. Read again what 
the editors demanded. Think on it.
