What do you think about John McCain’s comments? Here is some of what others are saying…
From Truthdig…
John McCain dug his heels even further into the proverbial Iraqi soil Wednesday morning when he rearticulated his commitment to the U.S. staying in Iraq, claiming that a time frame for withdrawal is “not too important” and that Barack Obama’s resistance to the war ignores how the U.S. is “succeeding” in the country.
From Taylor Marsh (with over 160 comments)…
This is yet another example of Republicans ignoring what our troops are sacrificing, adding more proof that the myth of Republicans being strong on understand the complexity of what our troops require is just that, a myth.
Stubborn refusal to accept the entire picture shows a myopic foreign policy vision or lack thereof. Remind you of anyone?
From Vet Voice…
John McCain showed once again this morning that he doesn’t get the big picture when it comes to the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
From The Swamp…
Sen. John McCain’s campaign and allies rallied to the defense of McCain’s televised comment today that an estimate for American troop withdrawals from Iraq is “not too important,” and Democrats pounced on the Republican for displaying what they want to portray as little concern for the forces serving there.
“Appearing on NBC’s Today show, McCain was asked if he has an estimate for when U.S. troops might leave Iraq.
“No, but that’s not too important,” McCain replied.
