McCain's Iraq Plan - Keep Spending $10 Billion A Month Forever

While trying to cast Obama as someone who would "want to lose in Iraq" McCain exposes his real Iraq strategy. It is very simple.
Spend $10 billion a month on an open-ended war.
Responding to McCain's ridiculous, claims Obama made the following statement.
"All his bluster, distortions and negative attacks notwithstanding, it is hard to understand how Senator McCain can at once proclaim his support for the sovereign government of Iraq, and then stubbornly defy their expressed support for a timeline to remove our combat brigades from their country. The difference in this race is that John McCain is intent on spending $10 billion a month on an open-ended war, while Barack Obama thinks we should bring this war to a responsible end and invest in our pressing needs here at home."
Considering that the Iraqi government even wants us to leave, where does that leave Mr. McCain? I count him as one of the hard-core neocons who find no problem with channeling billions to the defense industry while getting thousands of American troops killed. That would be treason in a sensible world.
