OOPS He Did It Again!

Earlier Thursday, McCain, who has contended that Obama is willing to lose in Iraq to win the election, said his rival would forfeit the war as part of an agenda that also promotes big government and high taxes.

Doesn't McCain read a newspaper? Iraq and the U.S. is close to a deal that is basically what Obama laid out. So I guess the White House is willing to "forfeit" the war also?

Please be realistic -
George Bush, Obama, McCain, Clinton and everybody else want the Iraq war to be over.
And not one of the above mentioned will willy nilly remove US troops as some idealists propose.
Even Obama, after he used "immediate withdraw" as a vote getter from the "idealists" in the primaries, to probably beat Clinton, changed his tune on withdrawal within a few weeks.
But, many people didn't see that and continue to chatter on about la-la land..... :-)

After all trhe "Obama is right".......

So....
the actual honest fact..... As of 2008 August 21, the unsigned, unapproved, potential deal is that "if" things are working out alright, we will draw down "some" troops in a year or so and then "if" things go well, we will be out of Iraq in 4 years -

That's not much like what Obama said and Obama isn't doing what he said he would do when he was running against Hillary -

Remember the Dem's primary race?
Obama: All troops out of Iraq in 6 months or a year?
Hillary: said essentially, "that's unrealistic" - She'd get troops out of Iraq as is intelligently possible.

She lost the Democratic primary, partially because of people who "believed" Obama's "immediate withdrawal" political stance (that he doesn't have anymore)........

I'm no big fan of Hillary, but, at this point in time, she was the more honest of the 2 - and because of her honesty (on this point), she became the loser -
