BLITZER: What If Maliki persists, you're president and he says he wants U.S. Troops out and he wants them out, let's say in a year or two years or 16 months or whatever, what do you do? Do you listen to the prime minister?
MCCAIN: He won't. He won't.
BLITAZER: How do you know?
MCCAIN: Because i know him. And i know him very well. And i know the other leaders. And i know -- i've been there eight times, as you know. I know them very, very well.
BLITZER: So Why do you think he said that 16 months is basically a pretty good timetable?
MCCAIN: He said it's a pretty good timetable based on conditions on the ground. I think it's a pretty good timetable, as we should -- or horizons for withdrawal. But they have to be based on conditions on the ground.
MCCAIN YESTERDAY: "Speaking at a town hall meeting here, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that Obama, even after visiting Iraq, was showing 'a remarkable failure to understand the facts on the ground' by continuing to call for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq on a fixed timetable." [Atlanta Journal Constotution, July 24, 2008]
MCCAIN LAST WEEK: "An artificial timetable based on political expediency would have led to disaster and could still turn success into defeat," Mr. McCain said. [New York Times, 7/19/08]
MCCAIN DURING THE PRIMARIES: Later, McCain turned his fire on Democrats, including Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, accusing them of endangering Americans by advocating a specific timetable for withdrawal. "It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide that would follow a reckless, irresponsible and premature withdrawal," he said in a California speech. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-tr...

If McCain fails this election, it is perfectly fine to run in Iran for US as an Iran President. He is old and smart enough to be a good muslin in Iran for US.
Let Iranian elects an other US president, so this one they elected talk to Iraqis what they want. Peace talk held in Afghan. So Afghanistan can represent Iranian in the peace talk. Iraqis in term elect the next Iran President to talk in Iran. No appointee allows except from UN.
I'm not a Mccain supporter, but people are taking Mccain stance way out of line ... he is in Iraq until the country is stable..."16 months would be great," ... "MAYBE 100 years if it took that long to stableize it"...I would never vote for the guy, but why is everyone so dumb with his stance?
Obama said he will withdraw troops on a timetable that is not on conditions on the ground.. now Mc Cain will look at the conditions of the ground for troop withdrawal. Since the insurgents attacks have deminished greatly the withdrawal could take place. Obama just wants troop withdrawal without looking daily at what is taking place in Iraq..big difference if you use common sense.
McCain is under orders from his TRUE bosses "BIG-OIL" and its "INVESTORS" to stay in Iraq until "Exxon-Mobile", "Texaco", "Shell", "BP", and all the rest are in full control of every oil well, This war is about alot of things none of which are "Iraqi Freedom" or "liberating Americans from oil". The lives of American troops are being USED like toys to secure OIL for the profit of the Very Rich. Once again the life in America is being dictaded by the control corporations have over the U.S. Gov!!
McCain would spend the first 2 years of his presidency finding the rooms in the White House and when he found the one he wanted he would ask "Now what did I come in here for?" Who needs another senile president?
They don't love war. They just don't know why to war and start war and how to stop wars. Can anyone make sure Iraq can't fight after US leaved? Yes, the Iraqis. Let Iraqis elect a US president for this term and let him negotiate with them how should their and our armies future over there.
