I think we should get our head out of our ass..! I say that basd on the fact that we are the greatest country in the world but have yet to act like it. For years we have turned are head to the issues that could have made the growth in our country to better its self by taking out the people with an answer or question to the things that needed to be done,there putting us in a place of standing still insted of moving forward.

its a combination of high gas prices which congress turning down the rights to drill in anwr province, the credit crunch, and the banks acting stupid and reckless with loan fever. its not the war, the economy wasnt a real concerning issue before all these situations occured.

What is Obama's position on switching to fuel cell technology? I believe this is the single most important issue facing our country and our world.

If we are committed and switch over before the end of the next President's term is finished, we will not only see such prosperity as we have never seen before, and we will also be free from the Fossile Fuel countries in a way that Bush's Blunders have not made us.

@FreeEnergyWorld UPDATE 2011...... remember the gulf of Mexico? that is not fuel cell tech lol lol

Question for Obama: "If the terrorists followed our troops to Saudi Arabia, would you advocate pulling them out of there, too?"

[expatted]

The terrosists are already streaming into Iraq from Saudi Arabia. No need to go there.

[MelJack65]

I think you missed the point.

Obama thinks the solution to the war in Iraq is simply withdrawing troops. But if the result is to give them Iraq as a base, and they follow our troops to Saudi Arabia, would he then advocate withdrawing from there?

It's a question that someone should ask him.

[expatted]

A lot of "ifs" in there.  I don't deal with hypotheticals. For now, the USA is mired in bu$h's (oil) war in Iraq, and Obama wants to work to end it, in whatever way may be safely possible. Blame bu$h/Cheney for the mess, not those that want to clean it up.

@expatted UPDATE 2011: the dude never pulled the army out of the middle east, the USA is up to the ASS in debt, pending collapse, and da shitpile is getting larger by the minute

[expatted]

The Americans have done so much f--king around in the Middle East for the past 50 years, anything is possible. I'd expect lots more blowback following bu$h's arrogance and stupidity. He didn't even know there were Sunni and Shia factions before the invasion of Iraq!!!!!!!

IF AQ forms a base in Iraq (doubtful) and then they stream into Saudi Arabia, after US troops, ask me then.

[MelJack65]

There is something worse than going to war, losing a war.

[expatted]

Only if your are arrogant and self-righteous.

[JayHorusRa1]

Yes there is something far worse than going to war, even worse than loosing a war. The worst thing is going to war needlessly. Had we not gone to Iraq in the first place this would all be a moot point. SO...take your what if's and put that one in there. Also think about the fact that Saudi born terrorists that was involved in 9/11. What is Bush or McCain or ANYONE doing about that?

@JayHorusRa1 UPDATE 2011: Bush is now rich as fuck, so is his associate Bin Laden
