McCain's 100 Year Problem

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2008/04/09/mccain_100/index.html

John McCain has made comments more than once referring to having U.S. troops in Iraq for the next century. These comments are nearly only sending the Republican Party into a frenzy. I disagree with McCain on this view, because I do not believe that the U.S. troops should be present in Iraq for the next 100 years. That is way too long and this war needs to come to end sooner than later and promising to have the troops there for a century makes people turn their votes away from McCain.
John McCain is only digging himself into a deeper hole, making the Republican Party look bad. This chaos he is causing is making it hard for the Republicans to dig him out of this mess, because he has same it a few times. Most of the people say his words are “distorted,” but he cannot mess up a statement more than once. I completely disagree with McCain and his beliefs for the U.S. troops in Iraq. With this statement, McCain is ruining his campaign all on his own, which is absolutely awful for his votes.
