Now THAT'S how politics should be.
-Obama is not afraid of change
-By stopping the war, he is preventing thousands of pointless deaths
-He is the first African-American president (I know, that's kinda pointless, but...)
-He has ALSO been in Senate, just for a shorter period of time... so he's not exactly clueless.
-I'm Canadian, so that's really all I know. But I just like Obama better, and he's already won, so there's no point being harsh.

See, now I come in and say:

-He is not honoring the deaths and is withdrawing in defeat
-That was a major part of why he was elected
-Yep. About 28 years shorter
-I'm American 

Now you respond

I would like to know why you think that if we pull out of the war, it'll be a defeat.

Because, Iraq isn't stable yet. They still need us there to help them get peaceful. If we leave now, they will attack themselves as they aren't yet ready to govern themselves.

I actually didn't even know this until I just opened up another browser, with CNN as the homepage. Apparently we might have some new enemies… Here are some quotes:

"U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has made "no commitment" to plans for a missile defense program in eastern Europe, despite a report on the Polish president's Web site."

"Russia is infuriated by U.S. plans for the missile-defense installation."

I was just wondering...and nothing personal but, I think that John McCain is a french fry (try and figure that one out) Too bad he got burnt...

He's French, skinny, salty, deep fried?

Yeah. This is Obama. And I agree. From what I have heard, never bothered to research this part, Mit Romney should have been his VP. Because apparently he is a GREAT businessman

wait, i am so confused!! if Americans voted for Obama, who as you say is withdrawing in defeat, that means that they want to withdraw in defeat, right?

For Iraq, Obama like many others believe in withdrawing to save lives of all many soldiers.

McCain, on the other hand, as a old war veteran, believes in keeping the war and ensuring the stability or Iraq and its military.

When you say that Zelda123 don't you mean: "For Iraq, Obama like many others believe in withdrawing to save lives of all many TERRORISTS."

No, because the soldiers would die fighting the terrorists.
btw, vote UKIP. lol.
