BB is correct. McCain is no more in favor of war than Obama is. The difference is McCain has deluded himself into actually believing that Iraq really is the central venue for the war against al-Qaeda. Which makes absolutely no sense. But if it were true, the war against al-Qaeda in Iraq is indeed over--there is no way al-Qaeda will be able to take over in Iraq--as I've said more than once--but that has nothing to do with any alleged US success in Iraq. The obvious reason has nothing to do with US force of arms--but is that al-Qaeda has overreached badly in its attempt to enforce "Moslem Puritanism"--with the result that Shiites, Kurds, and Sunnis all now loathe it. So the US troops can all leave Iraq--aside from "Kurdistan" where they are actually wanted.

But I certainly agree with BB that it's McCain, not McWar. And of course Obama and no other variant.
