McCain Again Pledges To Send Unlimited US Troops To Iraq (VIDEO)

During an interview with Sen. John McCain on Monday's NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams noted that "the videotape clip of your comment about being in Iraq 100 years if need be, of course, is still kicking around," and then asked, "[G]iven your support for the surge and where you believe this nation is in Iraq today, where do you see it going and will your support be there for however many U.S. troops are required?"

McCain answered flatly: "Yes. And the fact is we are winning in Iraq."

Via the Jed Report, here's the video:

In a speech last month, McCain predicted that the Iraq war would be "won" by 2013, but his comment to Williams suggests that he'll continue to send U.S. soldiers into battle even if his prediction is wrong.

As they have said time and time again, they(Republicans) make up their own reality. They then use marketing to sell it to the rest of the country. Seeing that most of their reality deals with how great everything is and how anyone who tells you different is a terrorist, it will work once again. "Just Lie' is their motto and it really seems to work. They are serving up a heap of dog shit and telling people it's chocolate mousse. Problem is, most Americans don't know the difference. Face it, we would rather be lied to than told the truth and Republicans know it.

Something is screwy!!!

It appears the Republicans are trying to lose!!!!

Did one of those bills Republicans refused to allow the Democrates to even read contain some type of rule or laws that will act as a poision pill for Our New Leaders.

Something about Mc Cains speeches and his campaign just feels so wrong even I can't believe he is that stupid!!!!

Be wary People !!!!!!

[MPeter]

He has also pledged to veto beer. Every single one of them. Take a listen:

Wonder how Cindy *McRich* feels about that comment?

[GiannaX]

Dang, dad5, I have had that gnawing, recurring thought for the last couple of weeks! Freaky.
Rove is such a slimy snake....where's the witches brew?

[xargaw]

He is as stubborn, crazy, and as uninformed as Bush with senility thrown in.

[LJMinOKC]

Winning in Iraq? Against who? Our people and Iraq's are still dying ... There may be less deaths, but if it was his son dying how would he be talking? This candidate should retire from politics, let alone run for president. If he's the best they've got, give it up!

[demigod]

We need to hammer McCain on this war - he totally supports it, and why anyone would vote for that is beyond insanity. The military itself needs to turn against the Republicans - I can't believe they want to sit in that incredible heat for years and years, facing 12th Century people with modern weapons who hate their guts. It must be a nightmare. Planet of the Muslims, worse than any Mad Max flick. The Republicans don't really give a crap about the Iraqis, they just can't admit they were wrong. Soldiers have to die because Republicans can't admit they were wrong. That's not LEADERSHIP. Well, the whole world knows they WERE wrong, and still are. They can't change, so they gotta GO - all of them.

McCain is a psychologically war damaged, war drum banging, old fossil...
I cringe ever time I hear him I hear him saying "winning, never surrendering, defeat, etc, etc, etc,... adjectives that do not even apply to this "illegal" war...
I, along with my friends, are remaining optimisic regarding the upcoming election, that voters , especially young voters, will come out in droves and send McCain, and his rancid Republican party, into history.....
Change is so important right now...

[TheEmptinessOfTruthiness]

When talking up war is the only time McCorpse seems even remotely animated. (Relatively of course...)

[Redrover666]

Fair enough. Of course to be fair, one ought to point out that Obama is a far-left loon, hangs out and calls racists and nuts his friends and mentors and is generally a inexperienced, empty suit.
Just saying.

[WireDolly]

Another "Bomb ____ (name of small resource-rich country) and Save the Babies" hypocrite-rethuglican crackpot.

[Obamican7]

Chalk one up to the Risque Agency.

[oregonrain]

The statement by Mccain , is exactly why this tired old warhorse Won't be elected ! Talk about being out of touch with Americans !

[ChiGuy]

Given the number of outright blunders this man and his surrogates continue to offer up, M.c.C.a.i.n should do himself and the people that might contribute to his campaign a favor and concede now, and allow the nation to focus on moving forward beginning January 20th.

[lolynda]

I guess he can claim a win in 2013 since we don't know what it is that constitutes a "WIN".
I've never figured out what it is to "WIN" in Iraq means. ?????

[izzat7]

SIMPLE- GENOCIDE.

[ConcernedAmerican]

We're winning in Iraq and our economy's fundamentals are strong. For someone trying to break away from W he sure sounds a helluva lot like W....

[starboymikey]

And where is he going to get unlimited troops and money, without a draft and without raising taxes?

Just askin'

[lisakaz2]

GL getting the answer.

[beaupritchard]

I think he's planning to breed them ... no no really ... he wants to give the GI bill to people who continue to enlist instead of those who enlist serve 2 or 3 years then go on to be productive members of the civilian populace. McCain wants career cannon fodder for a never ending state of war.

[FOXYLADY]

LET'S BRING THE DEBATES BETWEEN OBAMA AND MCCAIN.........AND THAT WILL PROVE THE ENEPTNESS OF MCCAIN ===

[grimm]

Is it just me or is it getting drafty in here?

[Ipanemagirl]

Winning what in Iraq?Please explain for I see no victory there ever!

[chelliza]

I hope that all the Democrats who are saying they will vote for McCain, or not vote and let him be elected are paying attention to this. This is just too scary to allow. If he goes into Iran, he will have to start the draft. Yes, then all those pro-war people who haven't had to sacrifice will start to object, but how long will it go on before we can end it. We are talking about a four year term here. We have seen how much damage can happen in four years.
