MIAMI – Senator John McCain, whose campaign has sent conflicting signals about whether he believes President Bush acted within his rights in ordering wiretapping without warrants, said Friday in Florida that it was “ambiguous’’ whether the program was legal.

“It’s ambiguous as to whether the president acted within his authority of not,’’ he said, saying courts had ruled different ways on the matter. “I’m not interested in going back. I’m interested in addressing the challenge we face to day of trying to do everything we can to counter organizations and individuals that want to destroy this country. So there’s ambiguity about it. Let’s move forward.’’

And yet, about once a week, he seems to have no idea what he’s talking about.

Recently, McCain's buffoonery on Iraq eroded that credibility.
