Regardless of your opinion of McCain. Because unless you think, foolishly, that packing up ASAP is the way to go, there's still some things to do over there before the U.S. can leave.

Obama is all for sitting down with the leaders of these countries but will not ask for a sit down with the General of our troops. Another thing I disagree with is no matter if you are against the war are not visiting would be for the TROOPS, which my brother is one, he may disagree with it but he is still over there putting his life in danger. If Obama wants to be PRESIDENT he is going to have to act like it. HILLARY CLINTON the DEMOCRATIC or INDEPENDENT nominee. Im a DEMOCRAT and what John McCain says is actually true.

Obama contradict himself a lot. He has no record to show. Problem with extreme liberalism is that, for an example, people mock religion but they want to make their government a religion. They mock dooms day yet they preach global warming. Sen. Obama quated many time "We have nothing to fear but fear itself," Franklin D. Roosevelt. Yet he is always fearful about not talking to his enemies. Fear is a healthy thing written in our DNA for a good reason. Only bad when they become hysteria or paranoia. Sen. Obama should go to places he doesn't want to go if he is so willing to sit and talk with his enemies. Hillary makes better arguments against McCain. Sen. Obama contradict himself a lot.
