The gaffe that will cost him the nomination

John McCain said in this clip that we may stay in Iraq for 100 years.

Has this statement jeopardized national security by giving our enemies grist for their recruiting posters?

This is exactly what many in the Arab and Muslim worlds had feared but no one had actually spelled out until now: permanent American occupation of the Middle East.

McCain says he’s been involved in every security crisis in the last twenty years. Not that that’s anything to brag about but I believe he just created a new security crisis.
