Um, ok but...
the point is still somewhat valid. Dems keep using McCain's quote to suggest that he would be willing to fight a war in Iraq for 100 years, which isn't true. Everyone that listened to what he said and has an objective mind knows what he meant and it's probably for the most part true. Permanent bases in Iraq could become a reality for many reasons and they would be there for the duration.
You can argue back and forth whether this is a good idea or not but to stretch McCains statement to mean that he's willing to do what we are doing now for 100 years is only hurting democrats and giving Republicans free justification to use against them when courting GOP voters. If you want to reach across the lines and swing voters, you need to be truthful. I think too many democrats are taking a win in this election for granted and this type of campaigning is typical of that. Say whatever to make the democrats happy because they will win anyway. Just like 2004 right?
