No I don't. But since we're on the topic of people who can't get their facts straight, let's talk a little bit about John Mccain:

15. McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good and a bad idea.
