Here's John McCain [photo]
on withdrawing from Iraq:
"It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide that would follow a reckless, irresponsible and premature withdrawal."
Here's Winter Patriot on the same topic:
"It WAS an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, THAT WE CHOSE TO INVADE IRAQ AT THE EXPENSE OF the Iraqi people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide that WE KNEW would follow a reckless, irresponsible and UNNECESSARY INVASION."
Backstage, Barack Obama is still refining his position.
