McCain attacks Romney on Timetables

CNN GOP Debate in California

McCain Criticized Romney For Wanting A Timetable In Iraq. During a Republican Debate at the Reagan Library, John McCain accused Mitt Romney of advocating a timetable in Iraq. McCain said, "Well, of course, he said he wanted a timetable. Before that, we have to understand that we lost the 2006 election and the Democrats thought that they had a mandate. They thought they had a mandate to get us out of Iraq. And I was prepared to sacrifice whatever was necessary in order to stand up for what I believed in... Then in April, April was a very interesting year ) in 2007. That's when Harry Reid said the war is lost and we've got to get out. And the buzzword was 'timetables, timetables.' Governor, the right answer to that question was 'no,' not what you said, and that was we don't want to have them lay in the weeds until we leave and Maliki and the president should enter into some kind of agreement for, quote, 'timetables.'"
