The man with the best judgement of the two major presidential candidates, John McCain, supported the Iraq troop surge before our current commander in chief. When President Bush authorized the surge, Barack Obama was against it--and favored the withdrawl of our troops. The Fox News Channel has more:
John McCain took one step closer to declaring victory in Iraq Thursday, telling Missouri residents and later reporters that the U.S. military has "succeeded."
The presumptive GOP nominee usually couches his language and argues the troop surge is "succeeding," but on Thursday he emphasized that strategic success has already been achieved.
The rhetorical development comes as Barack Obama prepares to travel to Iraq for the first time as a presidential candidate and to Afghanistan for the first time ever.
"I am happy to stand in front of you to tell you that this strategy has succeeded. It has succeeded. It has succeeded," McCain said first at a Kansas City, Mo., town hall meeting.
