McCain's latest CNN interview shows his desperation as he confronts the fact that the American people AND the Iraqi people want American combat troops out, ON A TIMELINE. What to do? Well, his latest rationality-challenged ploy is to insist that he would get the troops out quickly, too, because "they're winning." And his claim that he'll withdraw troops soon is better than Obama's, because while Obama acknowledges that conditions may require a return (such as to prevent genocide), McCain's comes with a guarantee:
I guarantee you, after they withdraw under what we are doing, they'll never have to go back.
So am I missing something, or is McCain's "guarantee" no less than a stunning promise to ignore conditions on the ground?
In what fantasy world can McCain "guarantee" that nothing will ever again happen in Iraq that might require U.S. troops? And which candidate is it who would rather play politics than tell Americans the truth?
Here's the link to the CNN interview; the "guarantee" comes at the end.
