McCain Fighting Iraq Withdrawal Timeline
Source: Associated Press

By SEANNA ADCOX

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Saturday he will not relent in his fight against Democrats in Congress who want to set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

"We will not allow the United States of America to lose this war," the Arizona senator told a packed crowd at a restaurant.

McCain led GOP efforts to defeat legislation this month that would force the withdrawal of combat troops. Doing so, he said, would mean chaos and genocide.

"If the war's lost, who won? Al-Qaida? Tell that to the 160,000 brave young Americans who are serving and sacrificing in Iraq today as we speak," he said. "It's disgraceful."

1. Puppet of the war profiteers.
McCain and his mafia bosses would love America to become the New Roman Empire. War industry CEOs and Bush's base would make so much cash! The rest of us would become plebeians and serfs.

5. He must not get the correlation between his failed campaign and his
constant rah-rah shit for the 'war'. If he keeps this up he should be in the negative numbers by January.

6. I have written many times about McCain,
and I keep saying that no one is accusing Mr. McCain of not having a survival instinct, but what have we seen from Mr McCain? Mr McCain did not risk his life, he saved his life. This is called self preservation. John McCain a hero? NO!
McCain lost the 2008 nominee back when he wrapped his arms around bush back several years ago, and just like Joe "kisseyface" Liberman both men have fallen to new lows in their integrity...Both men should resign from the Senate....
I do thank you
Ben David
