Wow McCain is brilliant! Considering that Iraq is already in unbelievable chaos and has disintgrated as an entity and that AQ has spread itself into more countries, McCain sees that all will be saved with 15,000-30,000 more troops.

Someone must have told him that there are only 20,000 but Dubya is still pushing for 40,000. Maybe Dubya will just double count people and say it's 40,000.

I wonder if either of them have figured out what exactly the strategy is. If Maliki stays in power, Iran is happy. If they overthrow him democracy is a joke. If al-Sadr goes, do the Baathists come back? The Kurds will only be happy in an all-Kurd country with all of the northern oil fields to themselves.

What is the end game exactly?
