John McCain loves him some war in Iraq:

John McCain believes the current force structure and power vacuum persisting in many areas of the country demands a more robust counterinsurgency strategy. Iraqi and American forces must not only use force to clear areas occupied by insurgents but to stay and hold these areas to deny them as a base for insurgent forces and allow economic and political development to occur in a secure environment.

The US doesn't like Guantanamo:

87% Hurt 13% Helped

My view is we ought to double Guantanamo.
