McCain backs surge as path to Iraqi stability
McCain, now the likely Republican nominee, argues the surge proves that with sufficient U.S. troops Iraq can be pacified and a democratic government sustained. He warns that without the surge, al Qaida would claim victory and U.S. resolve could falter amid a broader threat. Military leaders remain cautious, noting violence could rebound if troops exit and Iraqi forces are not ready.
