for muslims who are infuriated that the infidels are in their country, i dont see how in 5 years everything will be OK and this war will be "won". complete bs if you ask me. this war cant be won...how can you "win" against religious fundamentalists whose goal is to convert the whole world to their brand of ultra-conservative islam? sorry but its not possible

Pronoucements like these show that McCain is a doddering idiot, a Vietnam Era fossil, a Cold War dinosaur. Worst than that he is an extension of George W. Bush's and the Neocons' destructive view of foreign policy.

Yes, by 2013 all will be well. In your dreams.

Pathetic, the neo cons have really lost their way. The US faces an economic disaster as big as the Japanese suffered and this fool talks about illegal foreign wars - like its a primary issue.

mareo2 silly boy, drafts don't win wars! A government has to have a mandate to draft citizens into the army. The Iraq war lacks that mandate. There's no declartion of war. I realize its a tiny matter but the rule of law supposedly applies in America. And the basic law of the land remains the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

People talk about the year 2012. In 21, 2012 we will enter a new age according to the Mayan calendar. An age lasts 5125 years. The Mayans had calculated and studied the stars, planets and calculated that it would take 5125 years for a cycle for the same stars to allign themselves. Maybe Mc Cain had this in mind when he talked about the year 2013.

Good luck Mc Cain and your war in I-raq.

Nonacnon, I would be willing to bet that Sen. McCain's 2013 victory date has more to do with passing the war on to another president than it does with the Mayan calendar.

First of all, Sen. McCain doesn't appear to be a Mayan kind of guy in my opinion, but he is a republican, therefore, it's a safe bet that accountability can be thrown out the window.

ending by 2013?? hahahaha. he is joking right?

he rejected suggestions that his talk of a timetable put him on the same side as Democrats clamoring for full-scale troop withdrawals.

Who's accusing him of that? He basically said the war will never end.

Now, now, folks. We should show more respect for the aged. Osama Bin Laden is getting old too, and will probably retire in 2012 after his 1000th video is shown.

Thank you mosci one.

Found another typo--"unless" not "unlike" they are in jail.

I Love the line that McCain is not a Myan type of guy.

Both sides on the debate over the Iraq War do nothing but argue on the internet. The side who supports it does not fight for it. The side that does not support it does just as much to revoke it.

Before you argue on the internet, think to yourself: "Will this make me look more intelligent to anyone that matters?"
