Asked about American troops remaining in Iraq for decades, Senator John McCain said, "No, but that's not too important. What's important is casualties in Iraq."
Right, so it's not important that we walk across highways at rush hour either, just that we don't sustain casualties.
We are paying 10s of millions of dollars to former "terrorist" Sunnis not to attack us, millions more to prop up a Shiite government (adding up to about $12 billion/month), among other expenditures, while condemning the most popular movement in Iraq because they, like most Iraqis, want us out.
One has to ask: How seriously dumb is John McCain?
The invasion was illegal, though the resulting occupation ironically has the patina of a UN mandate, though the Bush dreams of a client oil state are gone.
Twelve billion a month? I wonder if families in the United States have any use for that money. How about our veterans sent to war on the basis of lies?
