and when we ever leave .. what is going to really happen ...
the tribes will fight among themselves .. and the winner will take all ... just like in the past .. so will be the future ....
too many young men and women have lost their lives doing what we accomplished years ago ...
this land in iraq will never be democratic .. it will always be dictator .. regardless how long our monroe doctrine or marshall plan stays around ...
walk away .. see who wins and takes all and then decide if we go back or keep on the sidelines in a careful watch ...

DHL is owner by the German Post Office. They do a great job. Germans are obsessed by being on time.
McCain really thinks sane people believe this?
"Vote for me; I want to raise you taxes."
I wish conservatives weren't so mindless. McCain has to say the same old lies that republicans used to elect Bush.
I never worry about a death tax. I worry more about keeping what I worked for.

What oil have we gained in any middle east war?
Can you plase give specifics.
IF every war in the iraq is about oil, where is the oil?
Please give the specifics, what oil company and how much oil was gained.
smashed indeed.

McCain is wrong. Typical twisting of the facts to scare people away from Obama.
Obama isn't against getting us new energy, he just wants to do it by finding alternative and better fuel sources than oil (wind, solar, etc. is the way to go). Let oil companies put up new drills in the meantime... but on their CURRENT unused land that they own rather than putting it on new land or off shore.
And about Iraq, Obama is right... it's time to pull out and let Iraq police themselves. We aren't in a war there, there isn't a war to "lose" by pulling out. All we're doing now bascially is policing the area, helping Iraq deal with what they should be handling themselves by now.
I am a Republican who will be voting for Obama this fall, my first time ever crossing party lines.

McCain forfeited conservatism when he opposed the Bush tax cuts, joined the Gang of 14, grabbed a gun away from the American Citizen, and attacked the Council of Conservative Citizens. Shame on him.
Being against McCain doesn't make for Obama. I think they are both socialists.

Let the public become disengaged and unconcerned, and government will cater to itself. But let people become vocal and vigorous about its decisions, and government will have to respond. Jeb Bush, 2007

McCain = Obama
They'll both stay in Iraq as long as the bankers and military suppliers keep making astronomical profits at the expense of US Taxpayers, US Soldiers and Iraquis. They don't care about people. They care about money and power.
Obama and McCain are simply pawns in this game. They love the power they are given. They love the prestige of the oval office. They tell themselves they are for the people but they are for their pockets and egos.
We'll get out of Iraq when we invade Iran. Then we'll have WWIII and the uber rich bankers will laugh all the way to the banks they own right along with the military supply companies making billions.
