Why McCain's '100 years in Iraq' can't be spun away

[LuckyTheDog]

OK, so McCain wants to get to the point where we can spend 100 years in Iraq during which "Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed."

The logical follow-up question is: How many decades of fighting will it take before we can enter that mythical era John McCain dreams of?

Would it take 20 years? 40 years? 60 years?

McCain needs to address how long he is willing to be in Iraq -- and how much he is willing to spend in lives and tax money -- in order to achieve that utopian vision of his.

HOW LONG, JOHN?

1. Especially when you add the mercenaries' influence...

...and all the corporations receiving government contracts.

A whole lotta cash can be made in that 100 years.

Hell, for McCain, an American occupation of Iraq is his Panama canal.

Except, it doesn't work, serves no purpose and has cost more in money and lives than several Panama canals.

I wonder if anyone in the GOP-controlled media will dare ask him which lobbyist is pushing to stay in Iraq for 100 years?

2. If the American People do not buy the 100 years, it really does

not matter does it.

3. We need to talk up the "McCain's utopian vision" thing

If McCain thinks we could make Iraq so safe and stable that we could then spend 100 years there without causualties, I think he is delusional.

We need to call him on that.

4. And if everything's peaceful and nobody's dying, what would be the point?

he likes to compare Iraq with Korea and Germany, both of which were split in two, which is why we maintained presence there.

Is this his Utopian vision, another Iron Curtain or Korean DMZ in Iraq?.....:crazy:

5. He actually seems to think

that Iraq can be turned into another Denmark.
