John McCain plans on keeping American forces in Iraq for 100 years.
Sadly, none of us will be around to see it, but it's a day our children's children's children will enjoy. Best I could tell, McCain made this statement on Jan 3 of this year, so the countdown goes until Jan 3, 2108.
So, without further ado, let the countdown begin.
For those of you who'd like to include a counter on your site, the javascript code is in gray on the flip. Just copy all of it and paste onto your site where ever you'd like the counter to appear.
