John McCain actually said...

"He pledged to combat corruption, improve governance, and deliver for the people of his country."

"What I don't support and what concerns me greatly is the President's decision to set an arbitrary date to begin withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan."

"The situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan is serious, but it is not, in my view, as negative as frequently portrayed in public."

"I support the President's decision, and I think it deserves the support of all Americans, both Republicans and Democrats."
