MARCH 2003: McCain: Predicted a Brief, Successful War In Iraq. In March 2003, just prior to the start of military operations in Iraq, McCain said on the floor of the Senate, The costs of these enterprises are not known with any degree of certainty at this time.  Nor are the costs we will incur after what I believe, what I fervently, hope, will be a brief, successful war in Iraq, as we seek to establish the foundations for a peaceful, stable and democratizing Iraq.  McCain also added, I believe the war in Iraq can be concluded successfully in a relatively brief time.
