Gen. McCafferty On MSNBC On Obama Iraq Speech: "This Was A Homerun" For Troops In Audience
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 12:56 PM by Hissyspit
McCafferty: "Being an expert on eight years of weasel words" on the war, "this was straightforward to me."

"This was unequivical, surprising to me and beautifully delivered."
