Its very simple (1.00 / 2) (#42)

if you break it down to its simplest part. Democrat vs Republican. 4 more years in Iraq or not. That is your choice.

Heh (5.00 / 2) (#61)

I've seen little from Obama that shows a commitment to leaving Iraq. You'll have to find something else.

Obama has not committed to leave Iraq (5.00 / 0) (#64)

He says that we will leave troops there to fight al-quaeda. He doesn't say how many, but we will need a significant number if they are to be effective and safe. McCain says essentially the same thing. Neither seems to think that we can pull out completely. Obama has also expressed willingness to invade Pakistan and has said that he will do anything in his power to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So... what exactly is the difference between Obama and Bush/McCain in these regards?

Our Democratic majority in Congress can all try being a "Dem for a day" and defund the war at anytime too.

Define Democrat (5.00 / 1) (#98)

Honestly, define what those principles are, backed up by action, competence, and leadership and then tell me how Obama is a Democrat.

Pelosi and the Democratic majority ... (5.00 / 3) (#106)

could have ended the war last year by withholding funding.

We already have the power and chose not to excercise it.

I suspect Obama supporters are going to be bitterly disappointed with what he ultimately delivers.
