Cracking the McCain code

According to the McCain campaign:

"The McCain administration would reserve all savings from victory in the Iraq and Afghanistan operations in the fight against Islamic extremists for reducing the deficit. Since all their costs were financed with deficit spending, all their savings must go to deficit reduction."

Translation: I don't know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to the economy, but this sounds kinda good. I get to sound like a commander in chief, talk about reducing the deficit, and remind you of the Islamic extremists you need to fear (you know, the ones who have names like "Hussein").

My comment: Savings from war? Really? In whose universe?
