On the campaign trail and discussing his statement that the U.S. will be out of Iraq by 2013, John McCain really said
"It's not a timetable; it's victory. It's victory, which I have always predicted. I didn't know when we were going to win World War II; I just knew we were going to win," McCain said.
(So far, all real...here comes the snark...wait for it...)
Luckily, we have found John McCain's diaries from the early part of his life.
