But... but... John Sidney McCain said Maliki wouldn't do this

By GottaLaff


Will J Sid eat his words? Yeah, that'll happen:

Iraqi and U.S. negotiators have completed a draft security agreement that would see American troops leave Iraqi cities as soon as June 30, Iraqi and American officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday. [...]

In addition to spelling out that U.S. troops would move out of Iraqi cities by next summer, the Iraqi government has pushed for a specific date -- most likely the end of 2011 -- by which all U.S. forces would depart the country.

"The Iraqi government pushed for a specific date." J Sid sure knows Maliki well, doesn't he? How do we trust anything the "experienced" candidate says if he was so wrong on this (yes, yes, and on everything else)?

BLITZER: What if Maliki persists? You're president and he says he wants US troops out and he wants them out, let's say in a year or two years or 16 months or whatever. What do you do? Do you listen to the prime minister?

MCCAIN: He won't. He won't. He won't. Because it has to be condition-based.

BLITZER: How do you know?

MCCAIN: Because I know him. And I know him very well. And I know the other leaders. And I know -- I've been there eight times, as you know. I know them very, very well.

Oops.
