Apparently the largest deployment of US troops in a war zone, since the end of WWII, in Iraq -- does not qualify as "serious" in McCain's eyes?
The guy is a nut, and I pity those who don't see that.

Actualy Korea.. Had about 450,000 US troops .. And 1,139,518 million for all Allied combined.
First gulf war allied US combined had 700,000 troops..
540,000 of them US personnel.
Vietnam 500,000+ US Troops At the peek of US deployment.
Current Iraq war at its hight was at 160,000 And current lvl is 140,000 troops.
So your statement is completely incorrect.

All that history lesson above said.. i have to say that McCain is not going to be the person i vote for in the upcoming elections. Frankly i don't
want us to still be in Iraq in a 100 years.. And if we don't attack Iran before bush leaves office you know damn well McCain will....... Just no
cause to do that .. None at all.
