McCain Flip Flops on 100 Years in Iraq Statement

Flip... Flop...

And, if the insurgency goes on for "years and years" after the US withdraws, isn't that a tacit admission by McCain that the US is going to lose the war? For if you can't leave behind a stable Iraq then the mission has failed hasn't it?

After all the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq was:

Short term, Iraq is making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces.

Medium term, Iraq is in the lead defeating terrorists and providing its own security, with a fully constitutional government in place, and on its way to achieving its economic potential.

Longer term, Iraq is peaceful, united, stable, and secure, well integrated into the international community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism.
