Think Progress has video of foreign policy scholar Fareed Zarkaria on ABC, exposing the gigantic flaw of John McCain’s plan to send more U.S. troops to Iraq. Zakaria explained that “we have enough troops” but the Iraqi government won’t let them “go after the militias.” According to Zakaria, sending more U.S. troops to Iraq in this context is “just willing more American deaths.”
