WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Senator John McCain, who battled Barack Obama hard on the campaign trail on the Iraq war, said on Friday he supports President Obama's plans to remove U.S. combat forces from Iraq over 19 months.

"Overall it is a reasonable plan and one that can work and I support it," McCain told Reuters.

McCain, as a presidential candidate in the 2008 election, had argued that Obama was naive on national security and criticized his pledge to pull U.S. troops from Iraq within 16 months.

Proving once again...McCain is an extremely flawed individual who is more comfortable kissing ass than kicking ass.

I’ll go along with the generals too. I’m not interested in McCain’s thoughts or what the Kenyan thinks

IMHO Politicians- Senators, Governors ect... that run for Pesident should be banned from public office after they lose or drop out of the Presidential race

So elections should be like the playoffs. Elimination rounds.

Interesting.

Imagine the disaster if this weener had been elected instead of Obama?

It would take a century to get the filth off the Republican trademark. At least now, everyone will know that it was the Democrats that finally sank the Titanic.

Name change to protect the guilty.

To cover the remaining elements that will still be there after that date, they are re-naming them “Training Brigades”.

Other than that PR spin, it is the same plan that was in effect a year ago when the USMC started arguing to go to Afghanistan since they were getting bored in Anbar...

Is McCain still alive?

Do you think if we sprayed DDT on him he would be gone?

After all, DDT does not affect humans.

P.S.

So there is no confusion as to what I mean, I will expand my comment.

DDT only affects varmints of the bug type…like McRoaches, etc.

Your Chuck Baldwin and L Ron Paul should be happy with the pullout since they are as anti war as Obama
