John McCain, victory and deja vu

Thu May 15, 2008 at 05:25:03 PM PDT

Today John McCain gave his own little "I Have A Dream" speech, predicting that a McCain presidency would mean most of the troops would be home from Iraq by January, 2013. What's this?  A terrorist-appeasing timetable from the man who wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years?  Not at all, says McCain:

It's not a timetable; it's victory. It's victory, which I have always predicted. I'm not putting a date on it. It could be next month, it could be next year, it could be three years from now.

Sound familiar?  Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq on Febuary 2, 2003:

It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.
