He writes, below: ” the candidate of the status quo has a military occupation position (‘100 years, sure, maybe a 1000′) that is far too flippant for an issue of human life or national security and that is directly contrary to an equally resolute teaching of the Church.” Well, no. McCain has said that a military presence could be sustained for a long, long time if violence subsides and both governments consider that presence in their interest. He uses South Korea as an example. He has not said anything about a 100-year “military occupation,” and the notion that McCain’s position contradicts the “resolute teaching of the Church” is simply an invention. It looks more and more as though, once you take away Kmiec’s sour grapes over the primaries and his fuzzy thinking, there’s nothing left to his case.
