The real deal: Iraq at issue
August 28, 2008
THE STRETCH
''Sen. McCain says that American troops should remain in Iraq perhaps as long as they have been stationed in Korea and Japan.'' Madeleine Albright
THE REAL DEAL
McCain was responding to a question about GIs being in Iraq for 50 years. ''We've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That'd be fine with me as long as Americans . . . are not being injured." He envisions most GIs home by 2013.
