Here’s how Zbigniew Brzezinski opened a WaPo op-ed: “Both Democratic presidential candidates agree that the United States should end its combat mission in Iraq within 12 to 16 months of their possible inauguration. The Republican candidate has spoken of continuing the war, even for a hundred years, until ‘victory.’” McCain hasn’t “spoken of continuing the war, even for a hundred years,” and I’m surprised the Post’s copy editors didn’t scratch that line. Not even Howard Dean has stooped this low. He says that McCain “is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years,” which is much more accurate.
