McCain's senior foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, issued the statement: "John McCain believes withdrawal must be based on conditions on the ground...  Timing is not as important as whether we leave with victory and honor."

An unwinnable war of conquest and attrition, arguably waged on illegal grounds, and with cynical motives...

At this juncture, I'd suggest that the US really ought to consider settling for punctuality.

This blog is hot.

Rather like the.... blog-ee? Oh no, hang on. Blogger. Beer does not help with vocabulary.

Feel free to delete this comment, if you somehow feel it taints this website's intellectual ethos.


Incidently, is not the entire American war ethos based on 'victory and honour'? You know, some argue Vietnam was a REAL success. And I concur. :P

Speaking of Mcain's plans for Iraq did you see his recent gaff in which he stated that "it is a hard struggle especially given situation on the Iraq, pakistan border"

or as it is more commonly know Iran.

In the interests of fairnes i must also mention that I was enlightened by Obama's insightful statement that "Israel is a very strong friend of Israel".

Its nice to know that whoever wins somethings will never change
