In a vain effort to avoid the Withdrawal Tsunami that is bearing down on his Presidential Campaign, McCain now floats the idea that we may be able to withdraw most of our troops in just 2 years.

BUFFALO, New York, July 21 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain appeared to leave a door open on Monday to a large-scale drawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq in the next two years.
After a meeting with former President George H.W. Bush, McCain was asked whether it was conceivable for U.S. troops to be fully pulled out of Iraq in about two years.
"I think they could be largely withdrawn," the Arizona senator replied, citing the success of the "surge" strategy of increasing U.S. troop levels in increasing security in the country. "As I've said, we have succeeded. This strategy is not (just) succeeding, we have succeeded. And of course as we all know it has to be based on conditions on the ground."McCain said U.S. military success had made it possible for troops to return.
"When you win wars, troops come home. And we are winning," he said.
