McCain Says We'll Be out of Iraq by 2013 -- A Withdraw Date?

avatar

I was wondering why nobody's talking about that fact that John McCain now advocates a WITHDRAW DATE from Iraq?

I thought setting DATES was emboldening the enemy? 

What's to stop the terrorists from just sitting back and waiting till 2013 when we are to leave, according to McCain, then claim Victory for themselves -- that they pushed us out?

Why isn't anybody pointing this out?

Is it because McCain added the words, something like, "victory will be ours"?

How can he know that?  Does he have a crystal ball that allows him to read the future?

What's stopping Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton from saying the same thing?  "We will be out of Iraq by 2009 -- having accomplished victory there".

This is a perfect opportunity to jump on the GOP for supporting McCain's 'plan'.  Why then; but not now or 2009 or 2010, etc..?
