McCain's century-long problem
Republicans are hyperventilating over talk that McCain is willing to maintain a U.S. troop presence in Iraq for 100 years.
Steve Benen [2008-04-09]

  • I heard St Lord JesObama yesterday once again call for a wind down of troops

    But he's not really saying how long that should take or when it should start. I suspect when The Chosen One is anointed we will suddenly hear a lot of fumfummery on how it's really not an opportune time to ditch and bail. This will of course cause all of you to defend that in terms of "Nation Building". I for one think we should ditch and bail ASAP. Just leave it and let them sort it out do whatever they wish with it. Parts of central Africa have been at war for 20 years claiming upwards of 5 million lives and you don't hear anyone worrying about we westerners rushing over to sort that out. Some problems are unmanageable.
