John McCain at an FPI event on March 31:

Sen. John McCain largely applauded the Obama administration's approach to Afghanistan on Tuesday. But he said that if he had been elected, he would have done a variety of things differently and, in the process, he claimed that the president had set himself up for charges of "Lyndon Johnson" incrementalism by not devoting the troop levels to that war that will ultimately be necessary.

"I would have... went ahead and announced the overall addition of troops," said McCain. Rather than be accused of a Lyndon Johnson style of incrementalism, because it is very clear what General McKiernan asked for even though it may not be right away, I probably would have announced that we intend to do that."
