After watching McCain today, I will say that least he has a good sense of humor. As far as his statement that we are winning the war in Iraq, it reminded me of Gen. Westmoreland's televised speech that we are winning the war in Vietnam shortly before violence levels erupted to new heights during the 1968 Tet Offensive. It's like "the quiet before the storm".
If I know anything about wars, I can personally guarantee that violence levels in Iraq will get much worse long before it ends. The insurgents are likely just preparing for a major attack. Of course, "foreign policy experts" take this as a win. How hilarious.
We can prolong this war for as long as we like, but if I know anything about counterinsurgency and guerrilla warfare, we will never win this war even with the draft re-enacted.
