He's at the same time has said since the beginning that although he wants troops out in 16 months he still needs to remove troops responsably. Now, John McSurge said he didn't mind if troops were in Iraq for 5,10,15, 100 years. Then two weeks ago it was troops would be out and the budget balanced by the end of his first time. At the same time he has completely changed his views on off shore drilling (which in turn McCain has rose almost 1.2 million since he made that announcement). Now McCain is saying 16 months too. And the media has the gull to report that Obama is the one shifting his views? What is wrong with our media outlets? McCain goes on about the media not giving him attention. Well, thats a good thing for him in my view. If Obama made the gaffes McCain made the last 10 days his campaign would be over.

McCain wanted to stay in Iraq for 100 years; now he's amenable to leaving in 16 months. Bush also speaks of the need for a "time horizon," after the Iraqis basically laughed in his face for trying to negotiate a long-term presence. McCain never saw any need for more troops in Afghanistan until recently, while Obama's been saying it for a year. Obama spoke of the need to speak to enemies such as Iran through diplomacy. First Bush and McCain derided him, but now Bush has sent people to Iran and is setting up a U.S. office. Tell me again who the supposed expert on foreign policy is supposed to be.

He is almost forced to, because of Maliki's position but he almost makes you feel like he won't leave Iraq no matter what. When he was asked about the timetable, and Maliki's agreement, he hesitated too hard on that flip flop. Obama has not changed his position. Ten months will allow you to gage the actions on the ground. A "rigid withdrawal" would mean all troops come home at once. GOSH! McCaine needs a new campaign strategy, leave Obama out of his EVERY statement, 86 his off brand humor, and stop repeating himself. Let the media replay his good quotes. How many times does he think he has to say that "win a war thing"? We heard it the first time. Did he forget that he said it already. OMG! I am so sick of McCaine, he his reaching, and scratching.

Every act is an act of self definition, and McCain is not defining himself as a person I would want in charge of my country. I would prefer someone who is focused on how to make the country and the world a better and safer place. I don't hear much of that from Senator McCain.
