Obama: Okay, Okay, McCain Did Not Invent the Internet
Barack Obama still continues to attack John McCain on Iraq, and until yesterday, had been mischaracterizing McCain’s commitment to maintaining a stable, free Iraq, a concept that neither Hillary Clinton nor Obama seem to care much about. To his credit, Obama finally acknowledged that McCain stood by a peacetime commitment to Iraq, a commitment that Obama and his Berkeley wing of the Democrat Party does not support.
Obama’s same illogic would support withdrawing all American troops from South Korea. And forget Europe, bring ‘em home. In fact, why bother having a military at all!
The only people that hold with Obama’s utterly irresponsible position on Iraq are the same kind of people who support abortion up to the 39th week. They aren’t going to vote Republican anyway. A complete and unconditional withdrawal of our troops before the Iraqi government is stable will loom as an American defeat for decades, making the Vietnam comparisons on the Left a self-fulfilling prophecy. Imagine the Saigon embassy evacuation on a regional scale.
As the polls indicate, the majority of Americans want us out of Iraq. A more detailed reading of those same polls indicates that this preference does not come at any cost. This is where the Democrats’ support of the Middle East Power Vacuum Doctrine will come back to bite them in November.

A) Got a link to that?
B) In order for it to be a “peacetime” commitment that would entail there being a “peacetime”. The question is, will it take 100 years to achieve? What is an acceptable level of violence in the country so that we can begin drawing down our 150+ thousand soldiers there?

“The only people that hold with Obama’s utterly irresponsible position on Iraq are the same kind of people who support abortion up to the 39th week.”
Huh?

Uh, read the next sentence, maybe?

Um, I did read the next sentence - so what you’re saying is that folks who don’t (or “won’t”) vote Republican are a “kind” of people? Your wording just makes it sounds like you believe non-Republican voters share all the same viewpoints. I’m talking wording here, Nathan, ’cause, really, I can’t believe you’re that naive.

Nathan,
Chuck Hagel’s position isn’t all that dissimilar.
