McCain is right. Sorry, Grimm. If we up and leave Iraq in January 2009 as Hillary proposes, then I guarantee you we'll be back AGAIN in less than three years.
Regardless of how you feel about the war, the decisions that went into it, etc., let the troops finish their jobs- which includes continual training of the Iraq military to fend off terrorists such as AQ. Pretty amazing that even Angelina Jolie can understand that.
Instead of pulling out fully, replace US troops gradually with UN Peacekeeping forces, and keep them in place until the Iraqi government can maintain full control, especially their military.
