Maverick/chameleon #2

Well, that didn't take long.   Less than 24 hours after I posted about McCain and his changing positions on attacking Syria, he's changed again.

Today he has announced that he opposes the current Senate bill, because it doesn't go far enough.   It limits the president's action to a 90 day window;  after that he would have to seek further authorization.

So 24 hours after saying it would be a catastrophe if Congress doesn't authorize the strike, he's saying he opposes it -- at least as currently being considered.

Does this make him a chameleon?   Or is he just a hawk who is sticking to his principles?

As attractive as he sometimes seems, I don't trust him -- and I think with good reason.
