That "100 year" comment by McCain has been way overblown. It was meant in the context that we will stay as long as it takes to get Iraqis on their feet so they can defend and govern themselves. I understand the criticism of the war the way it was being strategized at the beginning. However, now it has turned around greatly, thanks to Petraeus and many others. God Bless our boys in uniform. They are committed and bright young folks. What I don't understand is all the criticism still going on now. Somebody made a comment the other day about whiners. I think I agree ! As for me, I'm going to count my blessings.
