First of all, this has nothing to do with...Ah, no. First of all, this has nothing to do with who is "for the war" or "against the war". Since we are at war, it's about what to do from here. Two of the candidates want to leave Iraq to fend for itself against the likes of Iran and Al Qaeda. The other wants to do the right thing.<BR/><BR/>That's what I stated in my post. To be fair, Hillary Clinton in last night's debate gave the best argument I've heard so far concerning withdrawing troops. She stated that the Iraqis, as long as we are their safety net, will develop a co-dependency and never be fully independent. I actually agree with this but since General Petraeus stated that the recent gains in Iraq are fragile, it's too soon to withdraw.<BR/><BR/>Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me when he talks about foreign relations.<BR/><BR/>As far as me saying I'm against the war, you are misstating me. I never said that. I, for the most part haven't posted much about the war and have never expressed my full opinion of it. What you may have heard me say (not write) is that I'm against the way we have handled the war. I do not believe Bush exercised the right judgement in the manner in which we went to war - namely the brash, gung ho invasion-type method we used. Something needed to be done about Saddam Hussein, I just don't agree with the way we chose to deal with him. <BR/><BR/>But again, whether or not we should have made war in Iraq is no longer the matter at hand. Where we go from here is.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16528392.post-85380595048416198602008-04-16T16:55:00.000-07:002008-04-16T16:55:00.000-07:00Funny you told me you were against the war in Iraq...Funny you told me you were against the war in Iraq.
