On Monday's NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams interviewed John McCain, and discussed, among other things, his plans for Iraq.

Brian Williams: "The videotape clip of your comment about being in Iraq 100 years if need be, of course, is still kicking around. You've since given a speech to more closely define your position on Iraq. But given your support for the surge and where you believe this nation is in Iraq today, where do you see it going and will your support be there for however many U.S. troops are required?"

McCain: "Yes. And the fact is we are winning in Iraq. And the fact is if we had done what Sen. Obama had wanted we would have faced defeat and we'd have faced chaos, increased Iranian influence in the region, more conflicts there and the United States sooner or later would have had to come back with greater sacrifice. We are winning in Iraq, those are the facts on the ground."

He also noted that Americans want a break from their gasoline taxes, which is true - if said Americans don't do the math. After all most economists say the tax will amount to little if anything to consumers, but it will increase the U.S. budget deficit. And we should all remember this gasoline tax goes to infrastructure repair. We can't have things without paying for it, but many seem to want it that way.
