McCain disputes Cheney on Iraq: Senator calls on White House to stop predicting successes

CNN, June 19, 2005; Posted: 7:50 p.m. EDT (23:50 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. John McCain disagreed Sunday with Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that the insurgency in Iraq is in its "last throes," and called on the Bush administration to stop telling Americans victory is around the corner.
"What I think we should do," McCain told NBC's "Meet the Press," "is wait until we achieve the successes, then celebrate them, rather than predict them. Because too often that prediction is not proven to be true."

Note: The full transcript of McCain's appearance on Meet the Press is available.
