In this case, the “R” word is not even applicable, our choice is pretty clear, Barack will Cut and Run out of Iraq, McCain will not, Barack is already trying to hang “We could be in Iraq for 100 yrs” around Mad John’s neck.
Do we want to win in Iraq, or do should it just be given up on?

I was never in favor of going into Iraq in the first place, but now that we are there, it must be won. THAT BEING SAID, “The Aged One” DID say “100 years” and I would use it against him as well. Heck, another 5 and I will be marching in the streets against it, alone if necessary.
Face facts, outside of Republican circles, the Iraq War is NOT a popular thing.
That much aside, do you honestly believe that the Iraq war is the only or even the MOST important issue to the average voter in this election?

As a point of comparison, if Roosevelt had gone before the American people in 1941, saying that American boys would have to stay in Germany for 65 years, would Americans so willingly have jumped in line behind him?
We may very well BE in Iraq and the Middle East 100 years from now, still occupying, still fighting. The struggle with Islam has gone on for 1400 years so far, and it’s not over yet. Islam is stronger throughout the world than it ever has been before, the past history of Europe notwithstanding. It will take 75 to 100 years to defeat it, at least - IF it can be defeated at all. I have my doubts, especially after reading some of the postings here from folks I _thought_ represented freedom’s best defense.
McCain spoke the truth. The UNvarnished truth, perhaps, but the truth nonetheless.
