John McCain: More troops needed in Iraq

In his interview on Meet the Press yesterday, the 2008 GOP presidential frontrunner made it clear that he wants more soldiers on the ground in the Middle East.

“The consequences of failure are so severe that I will exhaust every possibility to try to fix this situation. Because it’s not the end when American troops leave. The battleground shifts, and we’ll be fighting them again,” McCain said.

Well, John, it certainly is a quagmire over there, and every political mind in the country seems to be taking the "there is no easy answer" position. But if we're going to significantly increase the American troop presence in Iraq, where are the troops going to come from?
