The facts are very clear. Until we went to invade iraq which is not where any Al-Qaida were at the time. Remember sheeple..9-11 has no connection to iraq what so ever. Even Bush has said that before he sold the lie with Cheney...they repeated it over and over ..and some uniformed Americans bought into that. Al-Qaida now has infiltrated Iraq..less than 20% by most generals study. You see bush opened this can of worms. We left Afghanistan to create a civil war. We need to be in Afghanistan, along the pakistan border where AlQaida has rebuilt much more. Obama was correct...MCCain is wrong. Do you really want to support this failed policy as our children die in the wrong war, fought in the wrong place. Our military has lived up to that wrong war and die needlessly. Bush went for the oil, haliburton etc. The real terrorist continue to breed along the pakistan and Afghan border. Time for intelligent change. I am sick of losing a family member and friends in iraq...to quell their civil, religious war. Let us fight the real terrorist to make us safe.

Lately, however, he has sounded like a politician, so I will not be voting for him. I believe that we have created a mess in Iraq, and it is our responsibility to clean it up, and we are making great progress. I don't believe the right thing to do is just pull out--that doesn't make sense. If a democrat stands up and says we need to clean up our mess in Iraq as we leave, they will get my vote. Otherwise, they just sound like politicians trying to play on the fact that most Americans don't want to be there.

Truth is, he was right on the mark. Sorry to all you folks who think we can go back in time to take Al Qaeda out of Iraq - our only choice is to at least support the fight against them there as well. We are still fighting in Afghanistan too, though you might have to dig past the more catchy headlines on a ticker to know that. The easiest thing in the world to do is to simply say "lets pull out of Iraq." The harder thing is actually making a wise, well thought out decision and execute it. It's also easy to forget all the atrocities committed by Sadam Hussein, his use of chemical weapons on Kurdish villages, his grossly oppressive regime, his financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, and his aggression towards other nations. During the Clinton years, we were constantly engaging Iraqi targets encroaching into a demilitarized zone. He continually expelled UN weapons inspectors, the entire situation escalated greatly not just during Bush's years in office, but also those of Bill Clinton.

So, are we just going to walk away? We know what kinds of things these bastards do. Point is, pulling everyone out isn't the answer. That would only make Al-Qaeda stronger. We made the same mistake in the first Gulf war - we pulled out too soon and, well, we know the rest of the story. Wheter you agree or not that we should or shouldn't have gone into Iraq is acedemic. Knee-jerking our troops out and hoping for the best is foolhardy. Ask the South Vietnamese about this. OK, so Al-Qaeda arrived after we entered Iraq. So, are we just going to walk away?

We need to elect the leader who can best get us out of there...who has the understanding, competence, knowledge and gumption to get the job done?? Artificial 16-month deadlines like Barack's don't cut it because he cannot know exactly how long it will take and promising 16 months just gives us false hope. I support Hillary to get us out of Iraq quickly but carefully. I believe she better understands what it will take to accomplish the redeployment. The fact remains that al-Qaeda is in Iraq now.

If you have any semblance of intelligence you have to see that we've created al Queda in Iraq; it's a monster of our own making. Those who fail to see this, who think we're fighting for "our freedom" or whatever, are either dillusional or ignorant. I also can't believe how people like McCain can still use the rhetoric that we're "winning" in Iraq. This is so absurd! What are we winning after we invade a country for oil domination and create the chaotic anarchy that exists there now. I can't believe how stupid so many Americans are about this. This argument is so old that it's frustrating to even have anymore. If you have any semblance of intelligence you have to see that we've created al Queda in Iraq; it's a monster of our own making. Those who fail to see this, who think we're fighting for "our freedom" or whatever, are either dillusional or ignorant.

We all have that retard GW to thank for that. Many senators were lied to by the Bush administration so you can't hold McCain accountable for GW's stupidity and dishonesty. I also have to agree with McCain about having to finish the job in Iraq now that we're in there. Now that GW got us in there it has turned the lives of the people of Iraq upside down and we owe it to them at the very least to finish the job.

He keeps sticking his foot in it. Now he says he will strike Al queda? Now he says he will roar into pakistan? You guys at CNN, MSNBC, and others are REALLY going to have to roll up your sleeves and spin this one to save Obama. He says he wouldnt make 'bad judgments' .He says he will withdrawl from Iraq, but then turns around and argues he would go right back into Iraq and ELSEWHERE to do the exact same thing Bushie did in the first place???? The underlying message is Obama is no different than the war mongers already in office. Thats ok. Im sure you guys in the media can SPIN the BELOVED Obama out of it. Who is managing Obama.

And yes, we will also publicly wish that the leaders of China and Russia die. (All the while not knowing a thing about economics or money management).
