With all due respect as you talk like you are intelligent. I do not trust Obama. I will vote for Hillary as the trops want, if not her my first choice has always been Ron Paul. I will never vote for Obama.

Frankly, the only thing fossil McCain is suited to handle is retirement. Just because he is a surviving POW does NOT make him the leader we need in he current crisis.

Christ, he has NO IDEA of what is happening in Iraq at all. He still thinks the surge is working and the US is going to be victorious!! He is so far from reality that he is as bad a shrub.

What victory? The US has no mission of victory in Iraq. If victory is defeating the terrorist, what the hell are we doing in Iraq. All the fightng in Iraq is secular, one religious faction against another.

Our role of teaching the Iraq army to be an army is a joke! They are Shiite, Sunni first and Iraqi second. It has been this way for thousands of years. We cannot change that by putting US troops in the way to get killed.

Obama is the only candidate with any kind of reality when he sees Iraq. And he sees it for what it is, a religious quagmire that should not involve US troops.

As far as I am concerned it''s ''Bush''s War''! It isn''t the Iraq War. He wanted it so bad he had to lie, cheat and harp on it to start it. Now he has bought it for all time! If any right wing nut thinks they are ever going to win anything there dream on! They lost the mess in the first months in 2003. The incompetence and complete ignorance was beyond belief.

The Nether Republican Orif*ace just hates for the war profiteers they pimp for to have the gravy train dry up.

We can be sure McCain will keep feeding the war profiteers all they want. The Dems are less certain in that regard.

Therefore, completely predictably, the Orif*ace pushes hard for their ho.

The National Review has been and always will be a right wing administration prop. Nothing it writes in a political sense, including the Iraq war can be trusted.

the National Review cannot accept the fact that while we cannot be defeated in Iraq we cannot acheive anything remotely resembling victory.

What the troops in Iraq may not know is that Hillary has claimed that she''ll do an awful lot of things (she has another new idea about once every 15 seconds) but she often fails to follow through.

If you really want our troops out of Iraq quickly and safely, vote for Obama.

I just received an email from my daughter in Iraq. I was undecided who to votte for so asked her to ask her fellow soldiers who they wantd to see elected. She asked and they all said they want Hillary. They believe she will pull us out of Iraq. I am now giving my vote to Hillary. I think we owe it to support what our troops want that are doing the fighting.

[ranger1948]

I totally disagree with McCains point of view. If we stay in a country as volatile as Iraq the killing of Iraqui''s and American troops will not stop. These people have been fighting since the beginning of time. They will never stop and we can''t make them.

If the truce between warring factions in Iraq is now over then the Iraqi death toll will rise. If the number of American casualties also rises then politicians who want to stay the course will lose support. Surely this will have an impact on the election.
