"Timetable" Is The Word...
...that even Iraq has heard.
So, the question for John McCain: Why not declare victory -- and get out?
Make the point that 1) George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld's early fumbling nearly brought the United States to defeat; 2) You were the one who insisted on the surge mere months after the initial invasion; 3) The surge has "worked"; 4) the US has done as much as it can; 5) the Iraqis are satisfied enough that they want us out.
Good enough. The entire point was to create a sovereign (relatively) democratic Iraq.
Mission accomplished. Take the victory, Johnny Mac -- and the credit.
