Would Senator McCain insist on keeping Troops in Iraq, Despite the Iraqi's wishes!? (president, Obama)

Asked what he would do if al-Maliki persisted a withdrawal was needed, McCain said "he won't ... I know him well."

"The Bush administration has opposed timetables for troop withdrawals, but al-Maliki and President Bush last week agreed to a "general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals" on troop cuts."

If the President is indicating a timetable, al-Maliki insists it's on his agenda, and Senator Obama proposed it months ago -

What will Senator McCain do if al-Maliki Persists?

He'd better like the taste of eating crow. IMO, that issue will be decided for him before the election, or by President Obama afterwards.

JM would try to stay in Iraq as long as possible, as THAT is what his handlers (defense lobbyists) will be telling him to do.

Is it just me or is Senator McCain reacting in slow motion to news and world events?
