The 100-year lie


Friday, March 28, 10 a.m.

Excellent piece today by Charles Krauthammer about the lies both Democratic presidential candidates are telling about Sen. John McCain and his declaration that the United States could be in Iraq for 100 years. The Kraut even found an example of Sen. Barack Obama's military advisers saying the very same thing.

"The desirability of a similar presence in Iraq was obvious as long as five years ago to retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, one of Barack Obama's leading military advisers and his campaign co-chairman. During the first week of the Iraq War, McPeak (a war critic) suggested in an interview that 'we'll be there a century, hopefully. If it works right.' (Meaning, if we win.)"
