Yesterday, John McCain quickly disavowed adviser Charlie Black’s remarks to Fortune Magazine that a terrorist attack on the United States would be a “big advantage” for McCain.
Despite his disagreement with Black’s comments, McCain has made similar remarks in the past.
On the campaign trail in October 2004, McCain responded to concerns that a recently-released tape from Osama bin Laden would impact the election:
“I think it’s very helpful to President Bush,” said McCain, R-Ariz., while stumping in Stamford for U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays. “It focuses America’s attention on the war on terrorism. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but I think it does have an effect.”
