I think everyone can agree that the two presidential candidates have two very different stances on the Iraq war. John McCain believes that we should stay in Iraq because this if we pull out now it would be admitting defeat and this is America were we are never defeated. Obama on the other hand, wants to set up a time table to get troops out of Iraq as soon as he’s in office. My question is this, we started this war looking for W.M.D. ’s and we didn’t nor have we ever found them, then we changed it to bringing democracy to the people in Iraq, which is cool. But, if this is a war to bring democracy, how is pulling out military force defeat? Also, at what cost will we pay to just to we won in Iraq? Our economy is down the drain so how about we win the financial wars going on in our own country before we spend all of our money in Iraq? Or better yet let’s ask the soldiers if they would like to come home now or just wait until someone’s interpretation of the word “win” is satisfied.
