  GET THE US TROOPS OUT OF THAT DESERT......ALL OF THEM! THE US HAS SPENT YEARS "TRAINING" THESE PEOPLE TO DEFEND, PROTECT, AND MANAGE THEMSELVES. NOW LET THEM! THEY ARE THE ONES WITH ALL THE DAMN OIL, WE ARE THE UNEMPLOYED AND RAPIDLY BECOMING HOMELESS! BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME, AND BRING THE CHECKBOOK WITH THEM!

  I, being from Arizona, find it funny that you bring this up Harleyis Here. McCain's absences have long gone unnoticed by us Arizonans. I agree with you 100%. McCain uses his POW status as making him a better leader. Explain how this works? And this is not a bash in any way to POWs. I simply ask how being held captive makes you a leader? I plan to press our Arizona Republic as to what his absences are implying: Another Bush on vacation most of his presidency while the country tries to run on empty.

  Iraq and the U.S. pushed close to a deal Thursday setting a course for American combat troops to pull out of major Iraqi cities by next June, with a broader withdrawal from the long and costly war by 2011.
  
  Subject to final approval by the top Iraqi leadership, the exit date for U.S. troops would be December 2011, although the Americans insist on linking that target to additional security and political progress.
  
  President Bush has long resisted a timetable for pulling out, even under heavy pressure from a nation distressed by American deaths and discouraged by the length of the war that began in 2003. But that has softened in recent weeks.

  They are leaving sooner than what McCain had wanted....if it takes 15 Yrs or more !!
  
  McCain: "Even if it takes 50- 100 Yrs"
  
  "We are still in Japan, Korea and Germany"
  
  Hey John, They want us there and when they Decide, They Don't Need us...We'll be Gone !!
  
  John McCain acts as though, this is a Toy Soldier game, as if it does not matter whose Lives are Lost !!!
