Obama is the opposite of George Bush. Calm, rational, not antagonistic, unifying, direct, and INTELLIGENT.

His point that th two ongoing problems Al-Quaeda in Iraq and Iranian influence were created by Bush/Clinton/McCain is accurate and irrefutable.

[wattse2000]

I like how he opens a dialogue rather than insisting on a "right" and a "wrong" in this complicated issue. He is also smart to focus on how we define success and setting an achievable goal.

[Dethreid]

Well articulated question, this is why he wins independents.

@yonanz Win.

[yonanz]

@RansomthePasserby well, 2 years have passed, and obama has withdrawn from Iraq.

And now the left on MSNBC loves this General, cus Obama appointed him after getting rid of McChrystal. Wow. This President is so damn stupid.

[WarzSchoolchild]

America should wake up! Sen.Obama said these military exploits "were" haemorrhage to the economy. There is no blood left to haemorrhage, America is now completely bankrupt! and printing money just to stay afloat. The public debt now stands at between $650 tp$700 Trillion Dollars (million million)

My ist cousin, Brigadier Simon Christopher Joseph Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat DSO, MC, TD was UK Minister for Economic Warfare. I know exactly what he would say of this predicament!

"Who is to blame?"

WOW ,look at this mess BUSH has gotten us into and like a tipical snotty nosed rich boy who makes a mess and someone else will have to come behind him and clean it up while his happy ass goes back to a happy lifestyle on his ranch in texas without even as much as a slap in the face for being a stupid useless sawed off little prick.

It's impossible to trust anyone in politics today. It's getting so that we WANT to hear lies and plead ignorance of being deceived.

[slowcreep]

this is like the 34 year old son living at home being lazy and not doing his part of the chores, and not self-progressing...Iraq needs to know that we are not going to continue babysitting their ass!!!....once were gone..WERE GONE!!..see if there lazy asses would be able to hold the fort themselves!!!

Muslim, third world societies are poorly funded to have good, critical education. The poor turn to extremism. Cure? Their own leaders must solve it, NOT US. Not our millions of tax dollars and spilling American blood, whilst bribing corrupt Iraqi officials and enriching Cheney and his companies. McCain wants us there for 100 years; but we have our own problems like the economy and housing crisis to focus on. I don't trust Clinton after NAFTA & Colombia, my vote is for Obama.

[RansomthePasserby]

Oh, and mark my words, Obama's just saying stuff to get votes right now, but if he gets elected, he's not going to pull out of Iraq. I know you all are drinking the cool aid right now, but it's pretty clear, we're going to be there a long time no matter who's in office.
