McCain predicted Iraq victory in "three weeks." Why don't we hear more about that?

"I think the victory will be rapid, within about three weeks." (John McCain, MSNBC, January 28, 2003.)  See, e.g., Crooks and Liars from July, http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/29/mccain-fails-mccains-commander-in-chief-test/

Not just quick or speedy, but "three weeks." 

How's that for judgement we can trust?

I have reckoned Obama is saving this nugget for an end-campaign opportunity.  I just hope they don't somehow miss it.  Am I the only one who thinks this is a devastating quote?

Bring it on McCain, Bring it on!!! Send up more Palin, tell us more lies, fling more personal smears. Maybe if you exhust yourself you will stop everything and really look at what is going on. And what you will see is amazing. America is ready for change, wants change, is voting for change and the change is not McCain and it is no Palin. Go vote for change McCain - flip the big Obama lever.

Peoples' comments keep referring to when McCain realizes what's going on.....(WILL HE?)
And what a two faced, utterly Classless Ass he, and HIS campaign are showing the whole world!

The whole world is watching this Republican Bunch.
I wonder how they figure to get respect from anyone, any country in the world?
You have to have respect and show it,,,
Before you can expect to receive any at all!
