Have just seen an interesting speech by Senator John McCain. This had an usual rhetorical appeal, based on him winning the general election and what he wants to achieve in his first term. Iraq still troubling, but most troops home and the US troops not in combat, UBL dead or captured. Pakistan dealing with rogue areas of its mountain areas. The question is it truthful to reality, Iraq can be done, it will take time and there will be setbacks but it can be done under McCain. As Afghanistan and its terrorist groups, that is a different matter, Afghanistan is going to take a long time, it hard place to fight as the USSR found and its people don't trust the outside world, lets face they have been invaded so many times one has to understand. Of all the promises that McCain stated Afghanistan and the War on Terror will be the hardest to achieve over four years.
