But wait, I thought 100 years was fine with McCain???

Now that it is politically expedient, he wants to set a timetable?? Give me a break here McSame, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

So, McCain proposes to bring the troops home in 2013. That's 5 years. I wonder how much that will cost?

Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, will for the first time talk about a specific date for when he envisions direct American military involvement to be over in Iraq. It's January, 2013.
****************************************************

But, according to President Bush - this will incite more terrorist attacks, right? Didn't he JUST say that in an interview with the Politico?

Yeah. He did.

How nice...since McCain has given innuendos that he will only serve one term isn't he in essence passing Iraq on to the President that would be after him if he's elected? Way to take charge, McJunta.

So, in addition to having campaign staff lobbying for the Myanmar junta, now "Barbie" has to sell of funds investing in Sudan while turning a blind eye to the genocide in Darfur that he's supposedly against?

There's the GOP for you.

BRING ON MCSAME!!!

Doesn't McCain know that 2013 is not 100 years from now? Man, this guy will say anything, do anything to get elected. A kind of......political whore.

So now that he doesn't need his right-wing base (they will vote for him no matter how much he upsets them), he is trying to trick moderates and conservative Democrats into backing him. I guess 2013 is 100 years away!

Next John McCain will announce that HE had a black father like Obama, and that Barbie, oops, Cindy will change her name to Michelle. Then McCain will switch parties and announce that He is the real Democrat, and is fired up and ready to go.

Well, well, well . . . I am glad that Senator McCain has gotten the message that the "Iraq War" (quagmire) is gonna be over sooner rather than later - strange that he would put the date at the end of his supposed first term though . . . Oh well, I'm not planning on him being President anyway, but good to know that his "bearings" aren't completly shot.

2013. Apparently he's backed away from his 100 years statement. How many MORE young Americans can we expect to lose by 2013? What assurances does McFossil have that proves the Iraq government will be ready to take over in 2013 when they've NOT done that in 7 years? He's just throwing out a number. He has no plan. More of what Bush tried to sell us. A vote for McFossil is a vote for 4 more years of Bush. No thanks.

Must be nice to be so rich that you don't even know where you're money is invested. And he's in touch with the average working person in what way exactly?
I know where my investments are...oh wait...I don't HAVE any!

"It's January, 2013. By then, he says, American combat involvement will be over and most U.S. troops back home."

And how many more lives will be lost for an unecessary war, Mr. McCain?

"“If I am elected President, I will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. I will listen to any idea that is offered in good faith and intended to help solve our problems, not make them worse. "

Under what parameters would you consider this? Who are you to judge, since you and your party have done such a bang-up job so far...

McCain....hopefully you will be around in 2013 to see that happen, but [WHEN] we get a Dem in office, you will most likely see it happen much sooner.

McCain is beginning to sound like he is willing to any kind of date on withdraw from Iraq. I thought that he wasn't ever going to do that. Given it is after the next presidential term ends, it makes a little more likely. I thought that once we went into Iraq, we (as Americans) would be there until at 2010. I would always hope for a shorter time, but this was my first guess.

At least with Cindy McCain's divestment from Sudan, it does show some global awarness of what is going on in the world. I hope that the senator also show us that he has more knowledge than just the "war on terror."

Three congressional seats lost and the straight talk express loses another wheel and more of its bearings.

Voters .... watch the phony .... the lies .... the deception. Saying anything just to get into the white house.

R.Merrell — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:16:54 GMT

McCain joins a long list of politicians and generals (actually, he was already on the list) who will say anything they think their audience wants to hear about the end of Bush's War they have so ardently supported. His 2013 date is just another "light at the end of the tunnel" stunt, no more realistic or truthful or achievable than Bush's "Mission Accomplished". McCain will say anything to get elected. Beware wolves in sheep's clothing. First it's a 100 years and then it's 4. First he's against torture, then he's for it. First he's against tax cuts, then he's for them. He cannot be trusted any more than his soul mate and mentor, GW Bush.

Their talking point has now been fully debunked. Mr McSame has now fully come arround. The Republicans are toast in the fall. There is no way he can beat Obama in the fall. He is finally playing in Obama's field ...lol

now, now. he said "most troops." which is a fancy word for "none." joe "reagan democrat" lieberman, the state of israel's number one lobbyist, doesn't let mccain out of his sight long enough to use the men's room. there is absolutely no way, no how, lieberman is going to let mccain negotiate peace in the middle east. no american troops in iraq, no israeli money for mccain's bankrupt campaign. period.
