  1. You really think if this man had won we would be out of Iraq now ?

  2. BTW at the end of this vid McCain made it clear serious negotiations did not take place for troops to stay

    He also made it clear if he were President we would be staying

    I'd really hate to put you on ignore, you used to be a bit more of a dynamic thinker. But lately, it's just been so much silly commentary that you're beginning to resemble Tinkerbell more than yourself. Please don't do this.

    Do you honestly, really, 100% think that the power of the Iraqi army and government would be the only consideration in a decision to leave troops?

    Really?

  6. You used to be more of a dynamic thinker yourself,now you're beginng to resemble the delusional ET righties with Obama derangement syndrome


    Obama ended the war.McCain would still have troops there,he said it during the campaign and he said it again recently

    Most of the current GOP candidates also said they would keep troops there longer

    It isnt about what the army can do, its about the fact that it would be pretty hard to sell us as liberators to the rest of the world when we overstay our welcome, and simply occupy the country. The rest of the world would have been all over us if we continued to stay there when the democratically elected government didnt want us there.

    Plus Obama wouldnt have been able to sell that to his base, and we have already seen that his decisions these days are almost entirely based on trying to get elected at any cost.

  8. McCain and the current GOP candidates don't care what the American people or Iraqi goverment want and continue to say we should be there longer

    McCain promised during his campaign if he were elected we would be staying longer and he didn't care what anybody had to say about it and maintains that position to this day.Thats the difference,with Obama we are out,if McCain had won we would still be there and thats McCain promise not mine
