“But I believe, Katie, that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators.” - John McCain (NBC, 3/20/03)

Yes, and this recent rally in Iraq is probably full of McCain supporters too. 

The irony is that while McCain keeps on campaigning against a timetable for withdrawal, the current Republican administration just negotiated a draft deal to have a timetable for withdrawal: 

Under the agreement US troops would withdraw by 2011, and Iraq would have the right to prosecute Americans who commit crimes while off-duty. - BBC News

So if you are like me and wondering why McCain hasn’t spent a lot of time talking about the war in Iraq to change the topic from the economy. Its because McCain is still supporting the same old Bush policies of the past, the ones that even Bush no longer supports.
