Sen. John McCain to Speak on Iraq at VMI NewsMax.com Wires WASHINGTON -- After returning from Iraq, Republican presidential hopeful John McCain will give a speech on the war next week at the Virginia Military Institute. His campaign said the speech, next Wednesday at the school in Lexington, Va., would be the first of three policy addresses McCain will make in April. Traveling this week in Iraq, McCain said a U.S.-Iraqi security plan has been working, citing a recent drop in execution-style sectarian killings, the establishment of security posts throughout Baghdad and Sunni tribal efforts against al-Qaida in the western Anbar province. "These and other indicators are reason for cautious, very cautious optimism about the effects of the new strategy," McCain said. McCain voted against a proposed troop withdrawal timeline last month, when the Senate called for most U.S. combat troops to be out of Iraq by March 31, 2008. The Arizona senator will follow the Iraq speech with an address about taxes, trade and spending on April 16 in Memphis, Tenn., and he will speak about other domestic priorities on April 23, his campaign said. McCain plans to make his candidacy official later this month with an announcement tour from April 25-27 through New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa and Arizona. © 2007 Associated Press.
