We'll be in Iraq for decades no matter which party controls the White House. Get used to it. That's all McCain was saying. It's some of that "straight talk" he's famous for. Even Obama is starting to talk that way, which is proof that he may be an adult after all.

It seems like the natural corollary: if 100 years of war is too much, is 30? Is 10? If, after 2 years of a McCain presidency, we're still experiencing the number of American and Iraqi deaths that we are today, would John McCain order a pullout? <em>Punning Pundit's last blog post..<a href='/archives/2008/04/line_of_the_day_1.html' rel="nofollow">line of the day: Centrism</a></em> If McCain is willing to be in Iraq for 100, or 1000 years of peace– and if the 100 years of war is a “lie”, I’d like to know how much war he is willing to endure .
