The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson….

Remember that Obama was against the surge and his intentions in 2007 were to end the war by immediately withdrawing the troops. Can you imagine the chaos and disaster that would have created in Iraq not to mention the safety of our troops waiting for departure. Iran would have been licking their chops. You think the price of oil is high now! Look at the great sacrifices that would have been lost.

Obama is indeed lucky today. I don’t doubt that a peaceful withdrawl of troops in 2009 in a relatively stable Iraq is going to happen regardless of who is president. Obama should get no credit for his stance on the Iraq war. McCain must be pulling hair out.

McCain has what it takes to be resolute, steadfast & transparent, able to stand above self interest, party & do what is right, not what will get you elected. Yes, change is a constant but without experience or steel, you not only cannot differentiate between advices which all make sense, change the wrong things & destroy the valuable for the sake of change. If McCain is NOT elected, the American people will find themselves in the same Las Vegas marriage much like Britney Spears did, with more far reaching consequences.

Obama says America’s veterans deserve better. Posted by Scott Helman, Political Reporter.

In a speech in Fargo, N.D., Obama touted his work in the Senate on veterans issues and pledged to do better by them if he becomes president. He reiterated earlier vows to improve the Veterans Affairs system with more funding, end homelessness among veterans, and pay appropriate attention to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

Honoring American ideals, Obama said, “requires more than saluting our veterans as they march by in a 4th of July parade. It requires only sending them to war when we must, and giving them the equipment they need to complete their mission safely. It requires giving them the care and benefits they have earned. And it requires standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our veterans and their families after the guns fall silent and the cameras are turned off.”

Obama cited what he called “deplorable conditions” at military facilities such as Fort Bragg and Walter Reed, and the “broken bureaucracy of the VA.”

“It doesn’t have to be this way. Not in this country,” he said, according to prepared remarks. “There are many aspects of the war in Iraq that have gone inalterably wrong, but caring for our veterans is one thing we can still get right.”

That McCain spokesman spews a load of forced garbage about Obama and
Fox News reports it slavishly. That’s not news at all.

Why don’t you people just disappear? Have you any idea how many billions
of dollars wastage and hundreds of thousands of deaths have been caused
by your mindless immoral propogandising for Republicans and Bush.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS – INNOCENT PEOPLE, NOT TERRORISTS!!!
$1.3 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
