Miltary.com interview with John McCain

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

Ward Carroll interviews John McCain in this weeks Editor's Podcast. I follow with a look the the BS GAO report on benchmarks in Iraq. The Dems set the report up to fail by making the benchmarks all or nothing. They really suck at ending the war eh?

Some of McCain's commentary:

Presidential hopeful and steadfast Iraq war proponent, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said Tuesday that the "surge" strategy launched in March is succeeding and that the U.S. military is turning the corner in Iraq .

Saying all other issues "pale in comparison" on the campaign trail, McCain told Military.com in an exclusive interview that fellow lawmakers pushing for a withdrawal are setting "a date for surrender."

"I not only believe it is winnable, but I think we're succeeding - I think we're winning," McCain said in the Sept. 4 interview. "For us to bail out now would bring on chaos and genocide - the region would deteriorate into chaos - and we would be back and they would follow us home."
