In advance of President Obama's speech to mark the draw down of U.S. forces in Iraq, Senator McCain wrote the following Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
The Surge and Afghanistan - by John McCain
Today President Obama will deliver a major speech to mark the draw down of U.S. forces in Iraq to 50,000 troops.
He will likely point out, as his administration has rightly argued, that Iraq still faces major challenges—foremost its inability to form a government—and that neither American sacrifice nor our commitment to Iraq's success is ending today. Yet our troops are returning with honor, which makes this a fitting time to reflect on the causes of their victory and on what lessons from Iraq can help us win the war in Afghanistan.
