1. Iraq can take care of itself now - bring them ALL home
You know, I'd be willing to say that our forces in Iraq have trained Iraq's forces sufficiently to the point where they can take care of themselves.

Apparently, McCain doesn't have as much confidence in our troops.

3. Yeah, it pretty much kicked itself in the ass ...
while the Sadr folks were kicking it in the balls.

So, yeah, it was a thorough kicking, all right.
