January 26, 2008 -- ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham today issued the following statement on Governor Mitt Romney's remarks on secret timetables for withdrawal from Iraq:
"Governor Romney's statement regarding secret timetables for withdrawal from Iraq could not have come at a worse possible time. April of 2007 was the height of the Democrat effort to mandate withdrawal and it was when the surge was least popular with the American public. Timetables were synonymous with Democrat efforts to withdraw, and if imposed would have led to our defeat.
"As we all now remember, it was in April that Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid declared the war lost. It is clear that Governor Romney's statement was incredibly counterproductive.
"History will record that it was John McCain's political courage and personal judgment that made the surge possible.
"This is yet another effort by Governor Romney to rewrite history regarding his positions on critical issues, and John McCain has nothing to apologize for."
