“What’s missing in our debate,” Mr. Obama said yesterday, “is a discussion of the strategic consequences of Iraq.” Indeed: The message that the Democrat sends is that he is ultimately indifferent to the war’s outcome — that Iraq “distracts us from every threat we face” and thus must be speedily evacuated regardless of the consequences. That’s an irrational and ahistorical way to view a country at the strategic center of the Middle East, with some of the world’s largest oil reserves. Whether or not the war was a mistake, Iraq’s future is a vital U.S. security interest. If he is elected president, Mr. Obama sooner or later will have to tailor his Iraq strategy to that reality.

Obama will be sunk by his dramatic and incredibly significant investment in failure in Iraq. I just hope the republicans can hang this around the democrats neck as well. Not all democrats are as stupid as Obama, but they're close.

He wants the money spent on the war to go to ‘programs’ for the poor.
