Another comment McCain keeps making is that if Obama had his way, the troops would have been out in March.

YEAH? And that's a bad thing?! How many of our troops would still be alive today had they left in March!

McCain claims that if that had happened there would have been chaos in Iraq, because the "surge" would not have taken place.

Obama's view is that an Iraqi military build-up and political reconciliation could have taken place without the surge and its 200 billion dollar cost. That if the Iraqi's knew we were out of there, they would have come together and strengthened their fragile existence.
