He likes to be in the spotlight I'll grant you, and I don't always agree with him, but on the Senate's recent Iraq amendment, John McCain is dead on balls accurate (It's an industry term). Key passage:

I’d repeat that, Mr. President. This is a war we must win. The benefits of success and the consequences of failure are too profound for us to do otherwise. The road ahead is likely to be long and hard, but America must follow it through to success. While the sponsors of each version of this amendment might argue that their exact language supports this view, perceptions here and in Iraq are critical. By suggesting that withdrawal, rather than victory, is on the minds of America’s legislators, we do this great cause a grave disservice.

Amen. Man how I wish McCain had been the Republican nominee back in 2000.
