John McCain is going to really, really wish he hadn't said he was OK with American troops staying in Iraq for 100 years. Actually, he's said it more than once, and even said 1,000 years, and 10,000 years.

And surprise, surprise, the Democrats have finally learned a few GOP tricks, and they are now using the 100 years remark over and over and over.

Republicans aren't too happy about this, and they are pushing back. They realize that this one remark could very well define McCain for this election.

Now, to cut McCain a little slack, he qualifies his 100 year statement by saying only if Americans aren't getting killed or wounded. That begs the question, how long does he think we should put up with Americans getting killed before we pull the plug?

I want to see someone ask McCain this question. Until then, that 100 year tag is going to stick.
