The war on Iraq was won in a heartbeat, but I know what you mean. Frankly, I'm not sure we want to "win" and be done. Last I checked, Iran and AlQeada has been funneling resources in Iraq for a few years now... and we're going on 2,700 days of safe American soil. If we pull out of Iraq... where do those resources go?
I found it strangely odd (scratch that... ) ..errrr it came as no surprise that the mainstream media seemed to forget about Obama's whole big anti-Iraq stance, and his near silence after his visit and preview into some intel and what actually is going on. By the time the summer came around about 5% or less... make that 2% or less of his rhetoric was a mention of Iraq, moreover just the "middle east".
Obamabots... you are going to get duped again. In this one... Iraq.
We'll be sure to pull out Barrah's "timelines" when they come due in Q1'09.
Uh? Ignoring your stupid anti-Obama statements that make no sense, I'll focus instead on your stupid Al-Qaeda-funneling-resources-into-Iraq statement that made no sense.
Al Qaeda has almost nothing to do with Iraq. Tell me, how many members of Al Qaeda have been killed or captured in Iraq, exactly? How many weapons has Al Qaeda bought and then sent to insurgents in Iraq? You make a statement like that, but there's no evidence that's happened at all (because chances are it hasn't).
Al Qaeda's a little busy with America's OTHER war right now. Afghanistan's easy to forget about, but that's where the terrorists all come from. The people who attacked India? They were from Pakistan/Afghanistan, not Iraq.
In fact, if there's one thing Saddam Hussein made sure of, it was that Al Qaeda stayed the hell out of Iraq. There's a much better and easier case to be made that if America hadn't gone into Iraq in the first place, Afghanistan would actually be "done" by now, with Al Qaeda all dead or in jail, the Taliban finally and completely removed and routed and the country entering a real reconstruction.
Oh, and your statement about crime and poverty in cities is right on. That SHOULD be the government's focus as opposed to the goings on of foreign countries. Too bad we've had at least eight years of Neo-conservative leadership squandering everything we have into controlling foreign countries as opposed to fixing the homeland, protecting the economy and focusing on OUR country.
Republicans were the isolationists who wanted to make America the greatest country in the world. Man, you guys sure have changed. "Lincoln's Party" indeed.
