McCain Outlines Plan to Exit Iraq by 2013
May 15, 2008
In an optimistic address concerning his vision for the country, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain outlined his plan for his first four years in office, which would include a victory in the war in Iraq and the return of most of the country’s troops.
“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom,” the Arizona senator said in his speech in Columbus, Ohio.
Although McCain predicted that the Iraq war will be won and the country will be a “functioning democracy” by 2013 under his leadership, he was careful to note that Iraq will still be “suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension.”
