Folks want issues, people want substance and Obama gives substance and a plan. I have heard no plan from McCain, just everything anti-obama. I am glad that everyone is going to Obama's position on the 16-months (see Iraqi Prime Minister), the focus on Afghanistan (see McCain and joint chief of Staff) and to have some type of diplomatic talks with Iran (see President Bush). All these things Obama called for a while ago and McCain is just now getting on board.

Of course, sending more troops is going to be effective. However, why are we there in the first place? There were never any WMDs - remember? So, why do we want to stay there? Doesn't anyone see the irony in this? Perhaps it's true that Bush et al only want to stay there for the oil! That seems to be the only thing that makes sense in why McCain feels the need to want to stay there when supposedly the surge has been effective. We seem to get more and more to the reason why we went there in the first place. Our economy is suffering and people are losing their homes in record numbers. Yet, McCain wants to continue spending $10 billion a month - yes billion - on a war that should have never started and when we have an opportunity to pull out successfully. ...And McCain's only interest is in winning??? How do the Iraqi's win here? We've lost over 4,000 men and women there. However, what you don't hear much with the media is that the Iraqis have lost 20 times that amount. So, how do they win by the US pulling out in 16 months. McCain, it's not about losing or winning. It's about getting rid of your pride and saving this country before our children not have a future to look forward to.

He talks about success and failure but doesn't define either one. He talks about the dramatic change in Iraq since the surge. Yeah, maybe violence has gone down in Iraq, but it's up in Afghanistan. The last report I read said that around 200 fighters overran a U.S. observation post and tried to take a post. This is supposively a common thing. Am I the only one realize that the surge has just caused the terrorists to reallocate themselves to Afghanistan? What McCain thinks we need is someone to confuse Iraq and Iran, Shiite and Sunni, etc., but I have to disagree with him "on this very important issue." Obama/Hagel '08! I get a kick out of McCain.

He can talk about the surge all he wants, the fact is a surge would not even be inthe picture if he has the JUDGEMENT to not fight a war that should not have been waged in the 1st place!! But then again McSurge=McWar=McBush McCain is the worst person to have in the Whitehouse!!

How can anyone factually say that a strategy would not work. Obama had a strategy in place of the "surge" and McCain seems to believe he's a physic who can see that any other strategy wouldn't have worked. The surge happened over 1.5 years ago. It was supposed to originally be for 6 months, then a year, and now this. Has it stopped violence in Iraq. Yes, at the same time the violence in Afganistan has increased substantially. Basically the surge just pushed the insurgents out of Iraq and into Afghanistan. So McCain's surge helped Iraq while at the same time hurt Afghanistan. Why is the media not reporting any of the statistics of the violence going up in Afghanistan just as the surge in Iraq has quelled the violence there? Look at the facts. McCain is a moron.

He can't read a tele-prompter. He declines question and answer conferences. That's because he can't answer questions. What wars has he won? What bread and butter issues did he discuss when he had the chance. All he did was whine and criticize Obama when he wanted him to go overseas. Be careful what you wish for? If McCain is elected, we are all in trouble. He is a warmonger with an explosive temper. McCain is an idiot! He can't read a tele-prompter. He declines question and answer conferences.
