John McCain actually said...

"I respect you enormously. I appreciate your service. I regret deeply that you seem to think that the status quo and the rate of progress we are making is acceptable. I think most Americans do not."

"The dirty little secret is that we don't have enough troops. We need to enlarge the size of the Army and the Marine Corps."

"Can we still win? Yes, I believe we can."

"We have made a great many mistakes in this war. And history will hold us to account for them, just as the voters did last week."
