McCain Says America Would Be OK With Troops Staying in Iraq for 100 Years

John McCain, formerly the Straight Talk Express, has become the double talk express in recent months. The latest example of his “I back the Bush administration” posture is seen in this clip of a New Hampshire town hall meeting. When asked if he is OK with the US staying in Iraq for “50 years” as Bush has stated, McCain ups the ante and figures that no one would be upset if we stayed there 100 years. Then he tries to compare it with South Korea or Japan.

The difference is that there is no war currently going on in those countries and we reached a truce with North Korea and a surrender with Japan. In Iraq we are in the middle of a civil war, big difference! McCain either thinks the American people are so naive that we can’t tell the difference between the two or he is delusional. Once again a good reason to send John off to retirement rather than give him the reigns of the White House.
