BAGHDAD - Iraq's national security adviser said Tuesday his country will not accept any security deal with the United States unless it contains specific dates for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces.

What will McCain say about this since he opposes a timetable for withdrawal.

Arizona GOP Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl opposed two Senate amendments Tuesday that they said suggest that insurgents can outlast the United States' resolve to succeed in Iraq.

McCain, in the Congressional Record, said "the road ahead is likely to be long and hard, but America must follow it through to success."

"Our exit strategy in Iraq is not the withdrawal of our troops, it is victory," he said.

"By suggesting that withdrawal, rather than victory, is on the minds of America's legislators, we do this great cause a grave disservice."

It is called a "conundrum."

Now that the Iraqi Government is aligned with Obama in scheduling an orderly withdrawal, McCain will have to back off or admit he wants "Victory" for the Oil, not so much the Godd Iraqi People.

Tough spot.

You've got the meaning right, but the wording is wrong. Now, we need security agreements with the Iraqis to protect our national interests which may be the no-bid oil contracts that our oil companies might get. See, we have to stay to protect our interests.

And just so you all know, the Iraqis have been telling us to leave for a while now.

Oh well lots of time between now and the election and a lot can happen. Thats why we need adaptive pragmatic leadership that can lead in a changing environment. Not stay the course just because they said they would previously.
