For many years John McCain urged a larger ground force to implement a new counterinsurgency campaign like the one now underway in Iraq, as Michael Hirsh noted in the July 26 Newsweek: "As we now know nearly four years later, McCain was dead on in his analysis of what went wrong in Iraq ... McCain was so right that, among military experts today, the emerging conventional wisdom about Bush's current 'surge' is that if it had occurred back then - when McCain wanted it and the political will existed in this country to support it for the necessary number of years - it might well have succeeded."
Today, General Petraeus reports that our new counterinsurgency campaign is showing signs of success: "The military objectives of the surge are in large measure being met... Coalition and Iraqi forces have dealt significant blows to al Qaeda-Iraq. Though al Qaeda and its affiliates in Iraq remain dangerous, we have taken away a number of their sanctuaries and gained the initiative in many areas."
John McCain believes we can still prevail in Iraq if we continue to support General Petraeus and our new counterinsurgency campaign that is defeating our enemies and succeeding and reject the defeatist path of the leading Democratic presidential candidates - a path that would strengthen our enemies and weaken American security.
