McCain’s latest claim as to why we must stay in Iraq is that U.S. honor would suffer if we pull out now.
Really?
When was the last time we heard talk of “peace with honor”?
Wasn’t it from, oh, 1969-1973, as mouthed by Tricky Dick and Henry K?
Didn’t “peace with honor” get us the same peace terms as North Vietnam was seeking in 1968?
In other words, he spent an extra five years in captivity, ignoring his rejecting an out-of-sequence repatriation, for the sake of honor that got us no better peace terms than five years earlier.
