This isn't so different than his previous comments. As I recall McCain was one of the folks who said the war would be swift. He's also gone to Iraq (which he'll bring up on the campaign trail until we all want him to shut up) and knows what is going on “first hand”. Of course all along he said that things were improving in Iraq…. just like Bush…
come
So now he says the war “can” be won in four years…. what's new, other than the number? There's no commitment to bring home the troops within four years… just that it “can” be won. Not that it “will” be won.

Expect to see more McCain statements to come closer in line with the Dems' positions but being far enough apart from the Dems that his “new” positions aren't seen as a true pander. Just like Bush does…. McCain uses the language to appear more reasonable…

But again, his position hasn't changed and this is classic Bush. After four years, McCain can still say we need to stay n Iraq because we haven't won yet.

I guess the only thing is that anyone who wants to be President wants to bring the troops home.

Sounds like just enough time to pass the war on to the next in line. So much for accountability. I guess that must be a pretty outdated concept. 4 years eh?
