John McCain actually said...

If we are basing it all on Iraqis' needs, that to me is an incomplete picture, because we need to know what America's national security needs are as paramount reason for leaving American troops in harm's way.

Context

McCain emphasizes the importance of U.S. national security needs in Iraq decisions.
