Iraq war won by 2013: McCain (cystal ball speech)
Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain will say Thursday for the first time that most US troops would be home from Iraq by 2013 after the war would be won under his watch.

The Arizona senator was also due to say in a speech that Osama bin Laden would be captured or killed, and that the threat from the Taliban in Afghanistan would be greatly reduced under his stewardship.

"By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom," McCain was to say in a speech in Columbus, Ohio.

"The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension," McCain was to say, according to a copy of the speech.

2. Did he happen to mention how many American lives would be lost to gain that "victory"?
Edited on Thu May-15-08 09:59 AM by BrklynLib at work
How many Iraqi lives?
How many American troops would come home permanently damaged, physically or emtionally, or both?
Did he happen to detail what the toll would be on our economy? How many trillions of dollars would this cost? Anybody going to get richer besides the armament dealers, Halliburton and the Middle Eastern Oil suppliers?
