McCain Wants 100 Years of War? Even in politics, it's seldom that you see such a dirty lie.
By Rizzuto

Mon Mar 31, 2008 - Charles Krauthammer published this piece on the McCain "100 years" lie that the Dems have been floating. I had already written about it here, saying that the two most often repeated attacks on McCain require dishonesty to carry out (the other is his Iran/Al Qaeda comment).

Krauthammer points out and lists just how many times the Dem's, Hillary, Obama, and several media types have repeated the blatantly dishonest "100 years of war" lie. I'm reposting those instances here, but don't deprive yourself of reading the whole article.
“He (McCain) says that he is willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq” (Barack Obama, Feb. 19).

“We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years” (Obama, Feb. 26).

“He’s (McCain) willing to keep this war going for 100 years” (Hillary Clinton, March 17).

“What date between now and the election in November will he (McCain) drop this promise of a 100-year war in Iraq?” (Chris Matthews, March 4).

Why, even a CNN anchor (Rick Sanchez) buys it: “John McCain is telling us ... that we need to win even if it takes 100 years” (March 16).

As Lenin is said to have said: “A lie told often enough becomes truth.” And as this lie passes into truth, the Democrats are ready to deploy it “as the linchpin of an effort to turn McCain’s national security credentials against him,” reports David Paul Kuhn of the Politico.
