President Barack Obama should send David Petraeus, a retired four-star general who ran the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, back to Iraq to help deal with the growing unrest in the country, Sen. John McCain said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The Arizona Republican also weighed in on a new book by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, saying he would have waited a bit longer to release the book, which offers a blistering critique of the Obama administration.
On Iraq, McCain said the country is not a lost cause and argued the United States can still offer assistance to help quell the renewed violence that’s rocked the country in the last year.

Grandpa Munster needs some obamacare.
Send McShamey back to Viet Nam
posted before I got to your post… my thoughts exactly
Former Bush adviser Karl Rove said on “Fox News Sunday”:
“Some Gates insiders have told me this book was essentially ready before the 2012 election. Gates made a deliberate decision to delay his publication until well after the election so as not to have the incendiary charges intrude into the election, I think that is a statement about his character.”
So McCain demonstrates the same lack of character as Gates.
Put McCain in the cockpit of an old A-4D Skyhawk, and send him to Iraq. Paint a picture on the plane of Obama saying he is sorry.
With or without his side-squeeze?
What he should do is to cancel all ROE’s that handcuff our Troops. That is why twice as many have died under 0 than under GWB.
Great response. I’m still laughing!
However, he has got to know that Obama does not want this war and it is going badly. At some point, understand the circumstance and give it up.
“..At some point, understand the circumstance and give it up...”

This country still has not learned to stay out of wars that they do not intend to win at whatever cost necessary and WIN FAST. Viet Nam was not enough. I am certainly ready to give up this kind of war which wastes blood and treasure and accomplishes little.
And now we are stuck with a worldwide ‘leadership’ image of weakness, lack of commitment to allies, and walking away from fights we should finish. Very bad.
