"Iraq's Cabinet on Sunday approved a security pact with the United States that will allow American forces to stay in Iraq for three years after their U.N. mandate expires at the end of the year." So much for 16 months...typical...

if he can't make a commitment about the future on Iraq because things change, and also he doesn't have access to all the info because he's not privy to the information the President is getting, how can he condemn Bush? He doesn't know what all the info is.. Yet he make the same demands on Bush that she just said would be impossible for Barak to do... Listen to the words, use reason and logic. If he doesn't know whats going on how can he say the course is wrong???

is that they help to prolong the conflict by their giving the insurgents/terrorists something to pin their hopes on. Exploiting the war for political positioning is all that Obama is doing. He's a scumbag.

Think of it this way. Who in their right mind would pull out of Iraq if they thought it was going to collapse into an 'Islamo-fascist' state controlled by Iran? The answer is nobody. Thats why the Dems haven't done it and won't do it they don't want to take responsibility for that happening. Whatever Dem gets the nomination is going to run back to the center and if they win, by the time they take office suddenly things on the ground will have changed blah blah. The most disgusting part IMO cont.
