THE MCCAIN MANTRA

It's not victory if it doesn't end the war.

Michel de Montaigne

Friends...my friends....I detest war, but I will continue the war in Iraq until there is security.

My friends, if we don’t fight and win in Iraq, we will have to fight somewhere else even worse.

My friends, I detest war, but I will not stop the war in Iraq until there is victory.

My friends, if we lose in Iraq, then we will lose somewhere else even worse.

My friends, I detest war, but I will not stop the war in Iraq until there is peace.

My friends, if we leave Iraq now, we will have to fight somewhere else.

My friends, I detest war, but I will not raise a white flag and desert Iraq.

My friends...
WAR IS PEACE.

IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
