Sure he did, meaning having an embassy there like we do in several other countries. He did not mean, like the Dems love to imply, that he wants to remain in Iraq fighting as we are now for a 100 years.

McCAIN: We’ve been in South Korea … we’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans …
He specifically mentions South Korea and Japan where we HAVE a military presence-not just embassies.
Yes Obama said he would never make a decision on his own about Iraq and would seek the advice of military experts and his cabinet to make these decisions. Holy crap, if it were left up to the military experts on the ground then Obama will have us there for the same time frame as McCain!
You have to remember that Bush has removed all dissenters from around him. There was plenty of military opposition to the war, and to how it was planned and implemented. Remember Shinseki? The difference would be that Obama would listen to all points of view, not just the ones that agreed with him.
I love how your post goes from the idea that Obama would "seek the advice of military experts" to having the decisions be "left up to the military experts" in the very next sentence! And these are your words!
We've been in Japan for 63 years so far. 53 years in Korea.
It's not a such a far-fetched idea.
Thats my point. Sure we will have a presence in Iraq for years to come but for people to insinuate that McCain meant we would be in Iraq for 100 years in the capacity we are today is absurd.

Yes, but what else have they got to attack him with?
Lol, as long as Americans are not being killed, or injured???? Is that his standard for when to leave or not? What are we still doing there? Have soldiers not been getting injured and killed?
McCain, the DoubleTalk Express!!!!
