Obama, Clinton misrepresent McCain's '100 year' remark

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been loudly misrepresenting Sen. McCain's remark that we might well be in Iraq for one hundred years- in the same sense that we've been "in" Japan for sixty, and "in" South Korea for fifty. Iraq is a strategic location in a volatile part of the world, and there's a big difference between having troops stationed there indefinitely and fighting a war there indefinitely.

That Sen. McCain was talking about the former, and not the later, is patent from the context of his remarks. There is no excuse for the Democrats suggesting otherwise. It simply isn't honest.

Charles Krauthammer opines on the subject here.
