In his Wisconsin victory speech this evening, John McCain wasted no time in firing shots across Barack Obama's bow. Hoping to highlight the Democratic frontrunner's inexperience, McCain to partisan cheers ridiculed Obama's promises as "eloquent but empty." But in a preview of Republican duplicity to come, McCain blasted Obama's past advocacy of unilateral American attacks against Al Qaeda targets in Pakistan, attacks the Bush administration itself is now finally carrying out.

Update: John Amato:

When Bash confronts McCain on this issue---saying that the WH wants to do the same thing, he gets a little nasty. He tries to make the case that Obama should keep quiet about his intentions.Sure, just like Bush has. And what about McCrazy singing bomb Iran?

He's still very hostile to Dana Bash of CNN...
