Monty Python would be even prouder of that!

As he said America maintains a presence in many different parts of the world and has done so for years. If our goal is to make Iraq as stable as possible, to the point where it is a free and democratic society, why should we remove all American presence from a safe non-hostile area? Especially given the fact that without any American presence Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups could have an opportunity to re-destablize the region. I think we have to look past the emotional idea that we want all of our troops home and approach the situation in Iraq in a more logical and practical way. This is what McCain has done in both his support of The Surge as well as his comments on Jan 3. I have no problem with McCain’s response.
