McCain's Plans: A reality?

"By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom," McCain said. "The Iraq War has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension."

McCain also envisions that Osama bin Laden, and his chief lieutenants, would be captured or killed.

But some analysts said making those arguments could be risky.


Risky? That word doesn't merit what McCain is trying to do.

Not only that, but it is very optimistic of a poorly handled situation. For a very long time, ideas have been suggested, saying that there should be a defined time-frame for releasing the troops from Iraq.

My simple answer: Defining a time leads to a rush, and rushing the troops out isn't the brightest of ideas.
