When U.S. troops leave Iraq 'not too important,' McCain says
By: News Bites | Submitted on: 06/11/08(SGT NEWS BITE) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Wednesday said it's "not too important" when American troops leave Iraq, provoking a daylong political battle with Democrat Barack Obama that underscored the stark differences between the two candidates on how to end the five-year-old war.
During an interview on NBC's Today Show, McCain was asked about the apparent success of the U.S. military surge in Iraq and whether he now had a better estimate of when Americans forces could return home.
"No, but that's not too important," McCain replied. "What's important is the casualties in Iraq. Americans are in South Korea. Americans are in Japan. American troops are in Germany. That's all fine."
