Here's What 100 Years in Iraq Looks Like

(Manchester, NH) - Senator John McCain returns today to New Hampshire, where in January he predicted that the United States should plan on being in Iraq for 100 years or more (when asked about the prospect of spending 100 years in Iraq, McCain said he would "be fine with that.") While a clear majority of Granite Staters oppose McCain's plan to continue the Iraq war for the next century, he will find a supporter in Senator John E. Sununu, who is one of the most loyal supporters of the war and the estimated $12 billion a month that the U.S. is spending in Iraq.

McCain's visit to New Hampshire offers Granite Staters a clear view of the choice they have this fall: continue with Sununu and McCain on the path of endless war that costs American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars, or take the country in a new direction with Jeanne Shaheen and the Democratic nominee for president. Like John McCain, John Sununu votes time and again to give President Bush a blank check for the war in Iraq. As McCain and Sununu spend billions in Iraq, Americans pay the price. Unemployment is up, job growth is stagnant, the housing market is in crisis, and energy costs are at an all-time high. If New Hampshire voters want a new direction, they will reject McCain-Sununu and 100 years in Iraq this November.
