On the Today Show this morning, McCain made this statement:
Quote:
Q: A lot of people now say the surge is working.
McCAIN: Anyone who knows the facts on the ground say that.
Q: If it’s working, senator, do you now have a better estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq?
McCAIN: No, but that’s not too important. What’s important is the casualties in Iraq. Americans are in South Korea. Americans are in Japan. American troops are in Germany. That’s all fine.
Q: Will your support be there for however many U.S. troops are required?
McCAIN: Yes, and the fact is we are winning in Iraq.

Not too important when the troops can come home or how many might be required to stay there indefinitely?
Most Americans disagree....Nearly 2 out of 3 want the troops to come home within the next year to 18 months....or sooner.
I wonder how long before McCain issues a clarification or claims his response was taken out of context?
