John McCain was right about us staying in Iraq 100 years
Johnny Mac was right.
The American left wing was wrong.
If we'd left a large enough force to combat the ISIS ajoles in Iraq now we wouldn't have much to be concerned with in Iraq today.

Distorting McCain on "100 years" in Iraq
Here's what McCain actually said:
QUESTIONER: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years --
McCAIN: Maybe a hundred.
QUESTIONER: Is that -- is that --
McCAIN: We've been in South Korea -- we've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That'd be fine with me as long as Americans --
QUESTIONER: So that's your policy?
McCAIN: -- As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, then it's fine with me. I hope it would be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Qaeda is training, recruiting, and equipping and motivating people every single day.
