McCain Votes Against Casey

John McCain was one of 14 Senators yesterday to vote against the appointment of General Casey to become the Army's chief of Staff.

McCain has been critical of the role of Casey during the Iraq war, and last week told him that while he doesn't question Casey's honour, he does "...question some of the decisions you've made in the past two and half years."

Casey's appointment was approved by the Senate today, although 10 Republicans including McCain and 4 Democrats voted against it. One of the Democrats was another Presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton.
