McCain: Troops Home by 2013
John McCain, the presumptive Republican candidate for President, today said he envisions most U.S. troops home by 2013.
“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom,’’ McCain predicted. “The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.’’
The Democratic Party Chair, Howard Dean, responded: “The reality behind Senator McCain’s new rhetoric is that his plans either ignore the problems he identifies or actually makes them worse." (NY Times story here).
Schools, food, highways, dams, New Orleans, oil prices, alternative fuels, money for fixing what's needed in the U.S., can these wait for 2013? And that 2013 mention isn't signed on any dotted line...
