The Boston Herald ran it, and it was typical of McCain's vacuous,
empty-headed sup****t of Bush's war.  He claimed we had to press on to
"victory" but never defined what "victory" would look like.

We know McCain plans on keeping the US in Iraq for 100 years.  Maybe
that's
why the *Iraqis* themselves are so excited by Obama.  He's listening to
them
and understands that neither they -- nor the American people -- want a
long
term US presence there.  Only Bush, McCain and Cheney (and their stooges,
like Yoyo) want to have this open ended committment.
