John McCain and the fabulous futuristic world of 2013....

Senator McCain has rather clumsily flip flopped this week...did anyone notice? A few short months ago he was bellowing that we'd stay in Iraq for "one hundred years" if that is what it took. Now he sez we can wrap up our job in Iraq by 2013...a reduction in task-time of ninety-five years!
Wow!
At this rate McCain will have us out by December!
Of course that "one hundred years" bushwah was blood-curdling nonsense served up for the delectation of the GOP's praetorians during the primaries...so does that now mean the closer we get to November the more McCain coos like a old wrinkly dove?
Probably not, 2108 or 2013, the dates don't really matter anymore, the army is already broken from the stress of an unpopular occupation, falling enlistments and indifferent tactics dreamed up by a bunch of giddy wowsers in the White House Situation Room.
Anyone unwilling to face those facts, is naught but a fantasist thus John McCain can bellow and snarl all he likes about war and honor and victory but he is still chasing a will o' th' wisp.
Let us hope people wake up to that soonest.
