McCain: Far Removed From Reality

Having recently returned from Iraq, I was encouraged by the signs of progress I saw on the ground being made there under the leadership of General Petraeus. If you did not see it, I hope you will also read an op-ed I wrote on the topic for last Sunday's Washington Post. The ongoing war in Iraq and the broader fight against terrorism is the preeminent issue of our time. We must be steadfast in our efforts and cannot surrender the battle before we have given this new strategy, a strategy for which I have long advocated, a chance to work.

Senator McCain is way out of step with the American people on this one. Can't wait until he self-destructs.
