McCain Strongly Rejected Long-Term Iraq Presence: "Bring Them All Home"
April 28, 2008 09:16 PM

When it comes to getting U.S. troops out of Iraq, Sen. John McCain was for the idea before he was against it.

Three years before the Arizona Republican argued on the campaign trail that U.S. forces could be in Iraq for 100 years in the absence of violence, he decried the very concept of a long-term troop presence.

In fact, when asked specifically if he thought the U.S. military should set up shop in Iraq along the lines of what has been established in post-WWII Germany or Japan -- something McCain has repeatedly advocated during the campaign -- the senator offered nothing short of a categorical "no."

"I would hope that we could bring them all home," he said on MSNBC. "I would hope that we would probably leave some military advisers, as we have in other countries, to help them with their training and equipment and that kind of stuff."

4. Well...

As soon as the Obama/Hillary dust settles, I think we'll hear a lot more about Mccain's inability to decide which bad policies he'd love your country to adopt before he kicks the bucket... oh well, even if he's president, a democrat will win 2012. No one in their right mind would vote 20 years of neocons...

I don't think...

5. Welcome To DU

I only wish you are right...but I have little confidence in our corporate media and its endless cheerleading from Gramps. No matter what Gramps says, the BBQ on the fingertips of the beltway stenographers only seem to print what they think he said rather than what he said.

Yes, many in this country want to end the blight of the neo-cons and are working our asses off in getting more Democrats elected this fall...it's not just changing one person at the top, but an entire political culture. The corruption is deep and will take years to root out.

Cheers...
